To define a person is not a simple thing. Some people are full of talent but have a violent temperament. Some people are vicious but have the righteousness of their family and country. As the saying goes:if it’s not bad for you, I’m a good man.
On Saturday local time, Serbian President Vucic publicly displayed the fk3 air defense missile system purchased from China at a military airport near the capital Belgrade. On the same day, Serbia also displayed other armaments purchased from Russia and the West.
With the long-term war between Russia and Ukraine, its international influence is also fermenting, especially in Europe. The public opinion voice of many European countries has even gradually changed from unanimous and tough anti Russia at the end of February to compromise with Russia. Even French presidential candidate Poincare publicly proposed that Europe should win over Russia to avoid China Russia alliance.
On April 19, according to RIA Novosti, in the face of the”double standard” move of western countries to challenge, threaten or even belittle Serbia’s normal purchase of Chinese equipment while providing a large number of weapons and equipment to Kosovo, Serbian President Vucic denounced the hypocrisy of western countries on TV programs and invited his own people to watch the military parade of Serbian armed forces at the end of April, He said that Serbian people can go to Belgrade airport to visit the”most modern air defense system” composed of Russian”armor” short-range air defense system and Chinese fk-3 medium and long-range air defense system.
Serbian President Vucic said in an interview with the country’s Pink TV station on April 17 that although Serbian Airlines received frequent bomb threats, Serbia would not cut off flights with Russia. He pointed out that foreign intelligence agencies continued to threaten Serbian civil aviation through two countries – Ukraine and an EU member state.
On April 17, Serbian President Vucic revealed to the media that Serbia received a”bomb threat” from Ukraine and an EU country every day to force them to stop their flights with Russia, otherwise Serbia’s civil aircraft will be bombed.
For three consecutive days, six yun-20 strategic transport aircraft flew to Serbia with a round-trip range of more than 10000 kilometers in a single day to transport fk-3 air defense missiles. Yun-20 is a domestic aircraft, with a maximum takeoff weight of about 200 tons, a maximum load of 55 tons and a maximum range of about 7800 kilometers. It is the country’s heavy equipment.
With regard to the accusation by Serbian politicians that”Serbia is arming itself from European and NATO competitors”, Serbian President Vucic said:we have purchased China’s fk-3 air defense missile system in a legal, compliant, transparent and open manner according to procedures.
Today, the situation in Ukraine can be said to be the most concerned topic in Europe. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered the 48th day. The impact of the outbreak of war between the two countries has continued to spread to other European countries. NATO and the European Union have launched many economic sanctions against Russia, and even other European countries supporting Russia have been implicated, including Serbia.
On April 9, six yun-20 strategic transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force crossed Europe and Asia. After flying thousands of kilometers, they appeared at Nikola Tesla airport in Serbia and sent the fk-3 air defense missile system purchased in 2019 to the Serbian military.
