Serbia acquires hypersonic missiles to defend itself from forming ‘anti-Serbia’ Balkans coalition

Change language:

According to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, the growing defense cooperation between Croatia, Albania and Kosovo could wait for a “favorable moment” to act against Serbia. Therefore, Belgrade purchased hypersonic missiles with a range of 400 kilometres.

Serbia purchased Chinese hypersonic missiles

Serbia’s announcement that it has acquired Chinese-made hypersonic missiles has raised tensions with neighboring Croatia, highlighting growing concerns over military developments in the Western Balkans.

On March 9, the Serbian Armed Forces shared photos showing Chinese-made missiles mounted under MiG-29 fighter jets, saying the acquisition strengthens the country’s defense capabilities. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Belgrade will continue investing in advanced weapons systems to enhance its military capacity. According to Vucic, the Chinese CM-400 missiles are air-to-ground systems capable of striking targets at distances of up to 400 kilometers and have already been integrated into Serbia’s Russian-made MiG-29 aircraft.

The announcement prompted a reaction from Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, who said he was concerned about Serbia’s growing military capabilities and suggested that parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Albania could potentially fall within the range of such weapons. Milanovic also cited reports that Israel had sold weapons to Serbia, warning that such developments could negatively affect regional stability. Responding to the criticism, Vucic said Serbia has no intention of attacking any country and emphasized that it seeks peaceful relations with its neighbors.

“My message is simple: be careful with what you are doing. They saw the missiles and want to make decisions for us. They can buy everything they want, but we also have the right to ask questions,” he said. In recent remarks to Serbian state broadcaster RTS, Vucic linked the missile purchase to what he described as a potential security threat posed by growing defense cooperation between Croatia, Albania and Kosovo, claiming those countries could wait for a “favorable moment” to act against Serbia, though he provided no evidence.

  1. These Serbain nationailists that Orban has been catering to are a menace in the Balkans and naturally the Russians are knee-deep with their influence in Serbia and that fascist hole referred to as Republica Srpska that attracts Fidesz like flies to sh*t. These Serbian nationalists never learned or repented form the genocide they perpetrated in the 1990s that brought Milosevic, Karadzic and Mladic to The Hague.

    • Yes, Larry, there is a lot of truth in your comment.

      Yet, you neglect to note that Hungary and Serbia are facing the same menace, The Western Elite, and, that so, they have no rational choice but to ally with each other.

      Slovakia, Hungary, and Serbia will be, no matter how ridiculous it seems from a point of view of history, allies, and, as such, they will receive a tremendous amount of support from Russia and China.

  2. The situation in Asia and Europe will likely become very serious in the 1930s. We will then face difficult times, which will probably be no less severe than those of the last century.

    Such developments have historically occurred at the beginning and in the first half of each new century, when new, emerging powers challenge existing, established powers.

    Examples:
    20th century: World Wars I and II
    19th century: French Revolution and Napoleon
    18th century: War of the Spanish Succession
    17th century: Thirty Years’ War (which, incidentally, led to the near-total depopulation of Germany; roughly comparable to the Ottoman rule in Hungary)
    16th century: Italian Wars and, somewhat later, the Second Austrian/Turkish War
    etc., etc.

    • Yes, Karl, it is 1930 again, and the reason why is because those who played a leading role in creating 1930, have played a leading role in getting us here – in 2026.

      And, a history indicates, Central and Eastern Europe will not accept this situation – Western Elite rule.
