Balkans

Well, to be fair, air power is the last thing Croatia needs to think about when it's a NATO member, just use the forces the US has in theater. IIRC though, they're also modernizing their ground troops with newer stuff, including the Javelin and Kiowas.

Which model of the MiG-29?
Also if Croatia goes through with their fighter deal, the MiG-29s will be painfully obsolete no matter what they end up with, especially since all Euro canards will have access to Meteors.

Gathering more NATO cannon fodder for the next time they chimp out?

Unknown, but they key words are the very latest technological upgrades with some sort of radar lock that works up to 100 miles.

You should really educate yourself. MiGs that flew up against NATO in 1999 were all outdated, terribly maintaned and downright broken pieces of shit. Serbian pilots would take off without functioning defensive measures, landing gears and sometimes even radios. They had no theoretical chance at doing anything but they couldn't just sit while enemy planes were terrorizing their skies.

Next you'll be using the "Monkey models, crewed by Arabs, doesn't count" excuse.

But he is in fact correct.
But more relevant thing about that subject are Buk's and potential sale of S-300.

I don't think there will be war of any sorts. I'm just comparing things.

>Which model of the MiG-29?
From Russia
1 MiG-29A
2 MiG-29UB
3 MiG-29S
Unsure on the exact composition from Belarus, maybe a higher percentage of 'A's.

Key word is refurbished, not modernised.

Nothing that I said was an excuse, just hard fact m8. And as far as models go, you sure wasted shitton of shekels in ordnance on those wooden ones. Also a fact.

not needed,im a serb and our people are way too militaristic,so this weapons trade only solidates the point of Russia's intervention in Syria.

>way too militaristic

What are you on about. Everyone is against conscription, our military is shit tier, average supplied kit is older than average instructional cadre member, we have barely anyone capable serving and most people with actual experience were chased out of the military after the 90s.

>>32802227
Serbs were never the dominating force in the Yugoslav Air force it was the Croatians and Slovenes what was left was shit pilots.

>>32802150
>This will make Serbia the strongest force in Balkans, militarily speaking.

I'm pretty sure Greece is in Balkans.

>>32802150
Irrelevant. Serbs had huge advantages in the 90s in terms of advanced equipment and they still got shrekt by mountain farmers.
