Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)During this and next year, a large quantity of military equipment will come into the Balkans, or its armies into arms will introduce new types of weapons. Warplanes, helicopters, tanks, shells, rifles... Since this region has the essence of gunpowder, and wounds from the past are not much [...]
The year has begun with Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik's warning that the interior ministry of this entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina will buy 2,500 rifles for members of this ministry, Time broadcasts.
Then Croatia, not a whole month ago, has made the formal decision to purchase Israeli-used fighter aircraft F-16 C/D Barak, which will cost about 305m euros.
12 such aircraft will replace the 21-year-old MiGs.
The butterflies will also arrive in Montenegro. One of the first three helicopters bought Bell 412. The EP for the Montenegrin Army has landed at Podgorica military airport.
Of course, Belgrade does not fall behind either. On the contrary.
Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin has stated that Belarus has pardoned Serbia the four MGs, the 29s, who will be renovated according to the pattern of the 6 MiGs taken from the Russian Federation. If it is, as Belgrade's newspaper “politika” puts it, Serbia will also become mal-power war helicopters “H-145M”, while self-moving missiles “nora 552” are in the final phase of the test.
Also cited in Serbia is the possibility that it will purchase the missile system S 3,000 from Russia
Armed supply has also been warned by B and H chairmanship member Bakir Izetbegovic.
“We certainly won't spend money to buy missile systems, aircraft to spend millions of euros, but we will round our weapons production: We'll build the moving shell, we've already made the rifle, we'll produce fear, not for war, but for the market”, he said,
According to this Belgrade newspaper, Kosovo has also warned the weapons supply.
Kosovo, without the support of Serbs, cannot create the Army, as writes “politika”, it can buy heavy weapons. Security forces have some 4,000 active members and 2,500 in the reserve compound for which new weapons were envisioned, mainly from America, while planned to buy antiaircraft artillery, helicopters and two tanks. The paper adds that 40m euros have been earmarked for the Kosovo Security Forces.
Even Albania, a NATO member, has recently received weapons equipment from the US.
Macedonia has also been supplied with tanks, planes and helicopters from several countries in the former Eastern bloc.
