Serbia Buys Chinese Missiles as Vucic Warns of Threats

President Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia bought supersonic, air-to-surface missiles from China as part of $17 billion defense upgrades against what he claimed were hostile intentions of nearby NATO countries.

An unspecified number of CM400 rockets that can hit targets as far as 400 kilometers (249 miles) away, have already been mounted on Russian-made MIG29 SM+ jets that the country’s air force currently relies on, Vucic told state broadcaster RTS late on Thursday.
