Are you serious? MiG-29 is still one of the top planes on the planet. It is Russian counterpart of F-18 in terms of size and capability.

Well, duh. Serbia is pro Russia country. Why should Serbia buy JF-17?

 

[Mohamed Bin Tughlaq]

But why?

Dude.... it has pathetic level of maintenance; parts supply chain is spotty at best. Entire fleet can remain grounded.

The plane is a no match for jf-17 in terms of fitness to purpose and total cost of ownership. TCO cost of mig 29 is like the russian rouble - and fiat temperament

MiG-29 not same class as JF-17. MiG-29 is same class as Rafale / Typhoon powered by 2 medium engines. JF-17 is same class as FA-50 powered by 1 medium engine.

Yes, brain genius - they are not of same class; serbia does not need medium duty plane.

FA-50 is not in in same class as jf-17; go back to reading specs.

I would love to see Serbia buy MiG-35s, at least 5 squadrons, along with A-50s and IFRs.

No money.

Same size class.

I think you don’t realize how old these MiG-29s are. Maybe do some basic research first, MiG29 is not in the same league as Rafale/Typhoon, especially not these old ones. Nor is the FA-50, a trainer aircraft, in the same league as a JF-17, a full fledged fighter. Just because it’s a single engined aircraft doesn’t mean it’s in the same league, by your logic F35 = FA-50 and J-6 = F22 raptor.

Nor is this purchase recent. This purchase is from early 2019 and the aircraft needed major repairs, which Serbia has done and is now inducting them. Their program to procure a new aircraft is still up, but I doubt they will go for JF-17s, even those are out of their budget at the current stage, they will likely buy more second hand MiGs.

India should have tried to buy these MIG-29s from Belarus.... Our airforce is in very bad shape because of older MIG-21s.... We could have replaced some with these Fulcrums.....

this fellow has a serious mental issue in trying to grasp reality.

Serbia is completely bankrupt; no monies for anything.

Long before Yugoslavia was making fairly good equipment. Now there is nothing left.

A modern and upgraded mig-29 not an old second hand from belarus
