They said that if Serbia really wants to join the EU and other Western alliances, it must align its military equipment with Western standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese missile system has been widely compared to the American Patriot and the Russian S-300 surface-to-air missile systems, although it has a shorter range than more advanced S-300s. Serbia is the first operator of the Chinese missiles in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 said at the end of the arms display at a military airport near Belgrade that the Chinese missiles, as well as other recently delivered military hardware, are not a threat to anyone and only represent a \u201cpowerful deterrent\u201d against potential attackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will no longer allow to be a punching bag for anyone,\u201d Vu\u010di\u0107 said, apparently referring to NATO\u2019s 78-day bombardment of Serbia for its bloody crackdown against Kosovo Albanian separatists in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serbia, which was at war with its neighbors in the 1990s, does not recognize Kosovo\u2019s independence declared in 2008. It still has frosty relations with NATO members Croatia and Montenegro as well as Bosnia, whose separatist Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik attended the military drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vu\u010di\u0107 said Serbia is also negotiating a purchase of French multipurpose Dassault Rafale jets, as well as British Eurofighter Typhoon fighters. He said that only \u201cpolitical hurdles\u201d could prevent the purchase of the Western aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are widespread concerns that Russia could push its ally Serbia into an armed conflict with its neighbors to try at least partly to shift public attention from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">the war in Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Serbia has voted in favor of U.N. resolutions that condemn the bloody Russian attacks in Ukraine, it has refused to join international sanctions against its allies in Moscow or outright criticize the apparent atrocities committed by the Russian troops in Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ICYMI: We have images from Serbia&#8217;s recent military drill, including the HQ-22 surface-to-air
