Serbia plans to spend 3 billion euros to buy a fighter jet that can do a lot of work from France, and this news was announced by Serbian President Vučić himself when he visited France. It is said that Vučić held a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and French defense officials, including executives of Dassault Aircraft Company, which made the Rafale, to discuss the matter, and finally finalized the deal.

Vučić said that he and Macron had talked quite speculatively, and that the two had already agreed on the specifics of the purchase of Rafale fighter jets. It is estimated that the contract will be signed in two months, which means that the Serbian Air Force will start to modernize in a big way. At present, the Serbian Air Force mainly relies on Soviet-made MiG-29 fighters and some relatively old Yugoslav-made fighters.
The Rafale fighter is a formidable fighter with a variety of sophisticated equipment, such as the RBE2 active electronic scanning radar, Link 16 data link, an upgraded version of the "Spectrum" self-defense and electronic countermeasures system, and an automatic collision avoidance system. It can carry a variety of advanced weapons, such as MBDA's Meteor ultra-long-range air-to-air missile, Thales' TALIOS targeting pod, and Sagem's Hammer precision-guided bomb, among others.
The media say that with the purchase of Rafale fighters, the modernization of the Serbian Air Force is just around the corner. Previously, they relied mainly on Soviet-made MiG-29s and some old Yugoslav fighters.

Russia has always been the main supplier of Serbian military aircraft, and Serbia has not followed the international community in sanctioning Russia because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Serbia rejected Chinese and Russian fighters this time and chose French fighters, and Vučić had his shrewd plan.
This time Serbia decided to buy French fighters

This not only shows their determination to vigorously enhance their military strength, but also shows that they are pursuing diversified strategies in international military cooperation. Although Serbia has a long-standing military cooperative relationship with Russia, the choice of French fighter jets shows that Serbia is beginning to find a balance in international political and military cooperation and pursue diversification.
Serbia is trying to strengthen its ties with the EU, and this deal may also help them in their long-term goal of joining the EU!
