Belarus donates MiG-29 fighter aircraft to Serbia Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Eight twin-engine MiG-29 jet fighters and two BUK missile systems are being donated to Serbia by the government of Belarus. The donation was announced by Serbian Defense Minister Zoran Dordevic following a visit last week <http://www.mod.gov.rs/eng/10553/potpisani-medjudrzavni-sporazumi-izmedju-sr bije-i-belorusije-10553> to Belarus by Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic. The deliveries, provided on a no-pay basis under the condition that Serbia cover repair and modernization expenses, are expected to be completed in 2018. "We will also negotiate the purchase of the famous S-300 [long range surface-to-air missile] systems with Belarus," Dordevic told Serbian daily newspaper Politika <http://www.politika.rs/scc/clanak/372999/Dordevic-Srbija-od-Belorusije-dobi ja-sistem-PVO-buk> . The MiG-29 fighter and the BUK missile system were developed by the Soviet Union. Serbia currently operates four of the combat planes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
