The Serbian Air Force has recommended that the country purchase French Rafale warplanes but the government is yet to decide between French or Russian fighter jets, Defence Minister Nebojša Stefanović told Radio-Television of Serbia today.

"According to what the Air Force told the President, they are more in favour of purchasing the French Rafale fighter jets, but after an in-depth analysis, we will see what the Armed Forces will decide on. Either way, a huge amount of money is in question, and that the matter is under strategic consideration," Stefanović concluded.

Russia has pitched Su-30 fighter jets upgraded to the SU-30SM standard to its ally, Serbia with which it has extensive defense relationship.
We will also get three Russian-made Mi-17 helicopters, 18 sets of (French) Mistral anti-tank missiles that will be mounted on PASARS systems, five Little Miloš vehicles, 66 Hummers, and 10 BOV armoured vehicles.

"We will receive four Mi-35s over the next few years, four helicopters that we ordered from the Russian Federation. These are real flying beasts armed with very powerful weapons, two CASA C-295 transport aircraft :!: that will help our Air Force personnel acquire a new ability, because these are serious transport aircraft, and very important for paratroopers," says Stefanović.

President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, is a guest on the special show "Prva tema" on TV Prva by Marija Savić Stamenić.

Vučić added that Croatia will get "Rafale" in three years.
"These are extraordinary planes, we will see.
I would like us to get the same, but new ones.

In three years, I believe that we will drastically strengthen the Air Force and Air Defense, and there is no fear for Serbia.
