Years after the wars of the 1990’s in the former Yugoslavia, the country still faces relative geopolitical isolation as far as defense procurements are involved. Since Yugoslav times, there has been no notable change in Serbia & Montenegro’s arsenal. It is more than certain that in the coming years there is going to be a significant reduction in its armed forces, for economic reasons as well as because of NATO aspirations. In fact, according to a recent report, by 2007 compulsory military service will be phased out as Serbia & Montenegro moves towards a fully professional army.

However, there hasn’t been much news regarding new procurement, except perhaps for a procurement scandal that shook up the Serbian defense ministry this year. But Serbia, once a great military producer as the major industrial republic of the former Yugoslavia, may well seek to again manufacture what armaments it can domestically. It is assumed that production capacity has been mended following the heavy damage inflicted by NATO in its 1999 bombing campaign. With its existing defense facilities and factories, Serbia & Montenegro is capable of producing a wide range of ammunitions, electronics, anti-armor and anti-aircraft missiles.

The estimated total size of the army of Serbia & Montenegro is 55,000 personnel. This includes non-combat units, paramedics, telecommunication, civil and aircraft defence battalions and units of virtual mobilization, usually situated in the countryside.

Of this total, 28,000 soldiers are on constant active duty. The Serbian army has a unique and quite effective mobilization scheme, in which the armed forces are composed of a three-part force designed for quick mobilization in time of need. The active units are always on call; they are followed by secondary ones, and finally reserves who keep their weaponry and uniforms at home. In a time of total mobilization, they can all appear in the units to which they were originally assigned at the time of their compulsory military service. This is a non-centralized structure very flexible for small states. Similar systems operate in Switzerland and Cyprus.

wat i think is mig 23ml is better and the plane does not matter about how ugly is it u can buy an ugly plane but i can be really good but its always up to the pilot americans ussulay win they have good eltronics and pilots its always comes down to the pilot.

hi i think the russian air force is not in deep crises i have not read all the threads but if u look at it now i have at home sattlite tv and i watch russia news if u look at i now russia has payed off alll it debt and if un is going to a put a ban on iran for exporting goods iran is 4 th biggest exporteer of gas and oil they say if that happes 1 barrel will cost 100us nealy double wat is now at 60 us dollara a barrel so russia is the biggest etxporter of oil and money is right now flodding in to them so they have money to fun dlots of stuff now they have massive pipelines trough asia and eourope and middle east and the us are one of the biggest buyers that buy the most oil so they are oredering massive ammonts of oils so it means that Russia will have lots money to spend on the army and airforce and navy and also lots of other projects.

hi if u wont know the future of ur airforce wot i thing u should buy some new air craft but not too many and some choppers but if u wont a good defece u should get some sam’s they r cheapeir not too expinsive to run and if u r thingking the serbia will invade i dought that and if they do they have better pilots then u guys so its easier to figher a missile at an aircraft then get a 30million dollar aircraft destroyed or a pilot dead also so its easier to have more sams then jets but a couple of new modern air craft and choopers and buy some for ur gorund troops stinger missles or some kind anti-aircraft portabale launchers.

hi here’s a serbian mig 21.
