The Y-20 gave a big gift at a critical moment, why did Serbia take the initiative to buy Chinese weapons? This time, Vucic was not afraid of power, and directly showed his sword to NATO, angrily denouncing it as a "shameless and immoral hyena".
On April 9, six Y-20A large transport aircraft of the Chinese Air Force suddenly appeared over Europe, which immediately attracted the attention of the United States and NATO. It is reported that the six Y-20A large transport aircraft finally landed in Batanica Air Base in Serbia after completing their transit in Turkey. This is also the first time that the Y-20A large transport aircraft has gone overseas to carry out transport tasks in a 6-aircraft formation after it was officially put into use in 2016. The incident of Serbia transporting weapons and equipment also shows from the side that the Chinese Air Force has mastered the long-range strategic delivery capability and has become one of the few countries in the world with world-class strategic mobility capabilities. Of course, for the appearance of China's Y-20A large transport aircraft group at the Serbian air base, the US media immediately began to speculate, saying that China is repeatedly arching the situation in the Balkans and wants to expand its influence in Eastern Europe.
At the Foreign Ministry's regular press conference, in response to inquiries from foreign journalists, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said that in order to implement the bilateral cooperation plan between China and Serbia, China recently dispatched air force transport aircraft to serbia to deliver conventional military materials. According to the Global Network news on April 13, Serbian President Vucic delivered a speech on the same day, confirming that the country has purchased the FK-3 air defense missile defense system from China, and Vučić is also telling the president of Montenegro and the leaders of the Kosovo region that Serbia is compliant and transparent in purchasing China's air defense missile system, "not as shameless as NATO." Because it refused to follow the United States in sanctioning Russia, Serbia was "sanctioned" by the United States, which only prohibited it from purchasing Russian energy and weapons and equipment, which was also a violation of Serbian sovereignty to some extent.
After all, serbia wants to cooperate with which country, the United States and Western countries have no right to interfere, it is because it is unwilling to follow the trend of sanctions against Russia, Serbia will be targeted by the United States and Western countries, which will also directly show the hegemonism of the United States to the fullest. Considering that Serbia is a landlocked country, the main modes of transportation are rail and air transportation, and after rail transportation is fully controlled by the United States, China will send Y-20 large transport aircraft to provide Serbia with "door-to-door" services. Analysts pointed out that the reason why Serbia chose China's FK-3 medium- and long-range air defense missile system is also a historical root. In the Kosovo War that broke out in the 1990s, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was successfully dismembered by NATO. Serbia, the main successor of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, has always been targeted and suppressed by the United States and NATO.
In order to better achieve their political goals in the Balkan situation, the United States and Western countries not only isolated Serbia diplomatically and economically, but also banned the export of weapons and equipment to Serbia, thereby weakening Serbia's military power. At the same time, NATO has also taken the initiative to deploy weapons and equipment in the Kosovo region and secretly provide military assistance to Montenegro, hoping to form a bag for Serbia and achieve the goal of crushing Serbia. Surrounded by strong enemies and weak economic strength, Serbia needs to buy a defensive equipment from the international market that is cost-effective and will not affect the stability of the region. After some comparison, China's FK-3 medium- and long-range air defense missile system became the first choice for Serbia. After acquiring Chinese anti-aircraft missiles, Vucic stressed that Serbia is a militarily neutral country. And Vucic also rarely fired at NATO, saying that "it is better to be a lone wolf than to be a shameless and immoral hyena like NATO!" ”
In fact, Vucic's remarks are not only addressed to NATO, but also to small countries like Ukraine and Montenegro that are trying to join NATO. The current situation of the Ukrainian crisis also finally proves one thing, that is, relying on US hegemony and having expectations of Western countries is doomed to be abandoned in the end, and the real desire to defend the country is still on its own. According to military experts, the FK-3 air defense missile exported to Serbia this time has a maximum range of 100 kilometers, which can effectively intercept target aircraft such as enemy fighters, cruise missiles, and tactical ballistic missiles, and once the combat effectiveness is formed, it will be able to effectively ensure Serbia's national defense and security. To a certain extent, it has also posed an effective threat to the unfriendly countries around it, stabilizing the situation in the Balkans. Facts will also prove that Serbia's insistence on not colluding with the United States and NATO this time and adhering to its own path of independence and self-determination will certainly be a smooth road ahead. And those Western countries that try to discredit this arms sale cooperation should also remember that NATO still owes a blood debt to the Chinese people.
