Well situation is not that great in Serbian armed force, especially in the air force. Most of the equipment in old and needs modernization. We are already working on that but money is the big problem.

In our relationship with NATO we have signed IPAP (Individual Partnership Action Plan) which is the highest form of cooperation with NATO without becoming member of the alliance. But we are military neutral country, and we also have great cooperation with Russia and Russian armed forces.

and therein lies the problem, when your friends with everyone, your true friends are no one. NATO has no friends, only servants and potential targets.

That was my first thought as well looking at the pictures. I hope it brings some feelings of pride and Unity which is what is needed more than anything else.
