Vulin: We have strongest air force in region

BELGRADE - The Serbian Armed Forces will continue to acquire new equipment, in particular in departments worst hit by the NATO aggression, says Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin, noting that the addition of six Russian MiG-29 jets had made the Serbian air force not only powerful, but probably one of the strongest in the region.

"Like any serious armed force, we will not talk about this a lot in the media, but we are ready to respond to any task, and the acquisition of anti-aircraft defence systems will be carried out accordingly. What it will be like, what level it will reach, will it consist of long- medium- or short-range systems is something appropriate decisions will be made about," Vulin told Tanjug.
