If i may ask a question, does anyone know which base are those 2 Su-30SM’s supposed to go ? Is it Lipetsk? Have they arrived yet or they are still at the factory ?

Also does anyone know about when this month the 6 Su-35S’s are supposed to be handed over to VVS ?

Thanks.:)

Serbia May Renew Air Force With Russian Fighter Jets, Vucic Says

Serbia is considering Russia’s offer to renew its air force with jets made by state-owned United Aircraft Corp. JSC (UNAC), Defense Minister Aleksandar Vucic said.

The offer came in response to Serbia’s request in 2010 and the government is considering it now because “we are interested in increasing our military power,” Vucic told reporters in Belgrade today, after meeting with Russian Deputy Premier Dmitry Rogozin and United Aircraft Chairman Mikhail Pogosyan. He didn’t specify the type or the number of aircraft.

Serbian news outlets are reporting that Russia has offered MiG-29M and MiG-29M2 and that Serbia may purchase 12 aircrafts ( mix of both types) Beside that on offer is S-300 ( with missiles developed for S-400) and Pantsir AD systems together with range of AD Radars.

It will be great to have MiG-29M2 and S-300PMU and Pantsir under serbian colours. Would be a confirmation that they retain their pride and not be an american *** ( especially after the 1999 events).

It will also be downwright humiliating for their ( considerably) larger neighour in NE, whom politicians (too preoccupied to be noticed by the *** americans, and their own pockets), have left it’s airforce and military as a whole sink to grotesquely impotent levels, never experienced in it’s history, i think. 🙁

Go Serbia.

Is it me or that was a hard landing ? I thought the gear was going to collapse…:confused:

I may sound a bit unknowledgeable , but the DARIN III is the upgrade sporting new engines also ? Or is that separate? If it has new engines which ones are exactly, and what is the thrust ? Thanks.
