China gives Serbia Pegasus fears to monitor Kosovo

Serbia announced last month the purchase of armed drones from China which is Beijing's largest military sale in Europe since the end of the Cold War. Chinese police officers have also patrolled the streets of Belgrade with Serbian counterparts since 18 September.

The Pegasus Drons are projected to be able to stay in the air for up to 12 hours with a 100-km radius of action, observing most of neighbouring Kosovo, which has a tense relationship with Serbia.

The nine Chinese drones Wing Loong will surrender to Serbia in the next six months.

Remote piloted aircraft is in service in a number of Asian and African countries, including the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Egypt, followed Alsat-m.
