Serbian diplomat: Military-technical cooperation with the Russian Federation helps ensure neutrality of Serbia

In Serbia, the issue of the further vector of foreign policy is being discussed. At the same time, in Belgrade, an increasing number of politicians and experts understand that they are not going to accept Serbia either in the EU or NATO. This is despite the fact that membership in the North Atlantic military bloc, according to statistics, is now supported by a minority of the population - less than a quarter of the respondents.

Against this background, in Serbia, a clear vector of military-technical cooperation with Russia has been identified. The situation is commented on by a Serbian diplomat, an expert on international relations and foreign policy of the country, Srechko Djukic. According to Djukic, today it is important for Serbia to maintain military neutrality. According to the diplomat, procurement can help with this. weapons at the Russian Federation.

Djukic in an interview with the Serbian news agency Tanyug:

The acquisition of military equipment from Russia is part of the concept of Serbian neutrality. If we really focused on military neutrality, then this requires protection and deterrence.

Srechko Dzhukich notes that Russian weapons and military equipment make it possible to achieve this in general, becoming an important deterrent.

Belgrade makes it clear that they do not support the NATO concept of a "threat from Russia." For this concept, at the NATO summit in London, it was already decided to allocate an astronomical amount - up to 400 billion.

The day before, in Serbia, they confirmed the early receipt from Russia of 4's Mi-35 helicopters. Also, Belgrade ordered Russia to supply the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun systems.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Well, as far as it is clear from the latest news, not only do Russia acquire equipment and weapons from Russia ...
But with neutrality, this is correct.

[7,62x54]

Rather, cooperation with Russia gives Serbia sovereignty rather than neutrality.

[cniza]

According to Djukic, today it is important for Serbia to maintain military neutrality.

I'm afraid that you will not succeed in neutrality ...

[bar]

in Serbia, a clear vector of military-technical cooperation with Russia

Yeah, apparently that’s why the Serbs bought the French Mistral 3 instead of our air defense systems this year. And Vučić himself says that there can be no more talk about any new arms purchases. In confirmation of this, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov specifically clarified at the end of the talks between Putin and Vuchich: the question of S-400 supplies was not even raised there.
Those "brothers" ...

[Alien From]

Whatever the Serbian "brothers" ", they are still there one on one with a whole jar of spiders!

[bar]

As long as they wag their tail with their "neutrality", as long as they will be face to face with the can. Only they are unlikely to last long. There were already such neutral ones - Montenegro, "northern" Macedonia ...

[phair]

Army, Navy, VKS! Here are the allies ... I’ll keep silent about the strategic nuclear forces;)

[Kirill Dou]

The army and navy in 1917 somehow did not at all alliedly imposed on the tsarist or on the interim government

[phair]

The Dardanelles and the Bosphorus did not fall to them ... Nowhere, in general. Something like this.

[Kirill Dou]

And, that is, now we are talking about the fact that the "army and navy" are allies of the state only if it is beneficial to them? Then why is the "army and navy" better than the same Bulgarians, Serbs or, for example, Belarus?)

[Kirill Dou]

All this I mean is that you should not idealize the "army and navy" as loyal allies) Many states (including ours) have already burned out with this.

[phair]

Then all hope for strategic nuclear forces. He knew 2 ship commanders (both claimed that guaranteed mutual destruction, like Pushkin).

[Kirill Dou]

And the strategic nuclear forces are also not worth idealizing. You see, there are people too. And if these people decide that all this mess didn’t dig into one famous place, then they won’t do anything.

[phair]

You did not serve? The order will be executed.

[Kirill Dou]

Served. Not in the combat unit, but served.

I didn’t just give you the example of Russia in 1917) There was also an order there - but the army and navy scored him.

[phair]

Now commanded by those who in the nineties were Letech. I'm a medical service (officer), we hate oranoids.

[Kirill Dou]

From hate to love, one step)

[phair]

Ett is unlikely.

[Kirill Dou]

In 1914, at the very beginning of the First World War, the overwhelming majority of Russian officers and soldiers also hated the Germans and their "accomplices", were charged with patriotic-monarchical ideas, and the socialists (analogous to the modern orange ones) were nesting in corners or abroad.

Only 3 years have passed - and the same officers and soldiers who threw off caps in honor of Nicholas 2 three years ago, first made the February revolution and then the October revolution without blinking. And with might and main by this time they were fraternizing with German soldiers.

So don’t promise.

[Andrey Chistyakov]

"Only 3 years have passed - and the same officers and soldiers who three years ago threw their caps in honor of Nicholas II, first without batting an eye made the February and then the October revolution. And by that time they were fraternizing with German soldiers."
If Nikolai-2 renounced, it is necessary to "fight" for him ?!

[Kirill Dou]

So the abdication of Nicholas II was not a cause, but a consequence of the fact that the army ceased to obey him) Well, you must know the history of your native state, no?

[phair]

There were three conspiracies-which led to renunciation. In addition to the military and the Duma, the bankers also put their paws (the bracket with Kun worked with Leeb).

[Kirill Dou]

I quote you:

In addition to the military and the Duma still have the bankers put their paws

“You yourself just agreed with me that the army was involved in the conspiracy.” Q.E.D.

Well yes. Funny. You are a little "historian". Keep fantasizing.

[Kirill Dou]

Yes, a better historian than you.

[Andrey Chistyakov]

Quote: Kirill Dou

Yes, a better historian than you.

Who would have doubted. You forgot to write that the abdication took place due to the lack of bread in St. Petersburg. Write down to your "historical piggy bank". Good luck.

[Kirill Dou]

I didn’t forget to write anything. Learn the history of your native state.

[Andrey Chistyakov]

Quote: Kirill Dou

I didn’t forget to write anything. Learn the history of your native state.

I'm not bothering you. "Continue" your "historical research". "Enlighten" someone else. You don't need me. Don't write. Don't.

[Kirill Dou]

So you yourself wrote the first to me, and now you are pretending to be an insulted lady. Well, ok, I won’t write)

[vanavatny]

Do you know that there is a system with 400? apparently not, otherwise this question would not have been raised ... and also the fucking Montenegro and the lack of access to the sea, I love Serbs, I visited Belgrade

[bar]

Do you know that there is a system with 400? apparently not, otherwise this question would not have been raised ...

Are you talking about the one you sent to the exercises in Serbia? I heard of course. Think of it there and leave it for free?

[vanavatny]

do you have any idea what kind of system this is and what it includes? do you know how many missile defense systems are needed to confidently hit a target? do you represent target detection systems? do you see the region on the map? do you adequately assess the potential opponents of Serbia there? I don’t know anything about this, but there are a number of questions, such as whether our army is rearmament and whether it is possible to close the sky of Serbia without harming ourselves (by fulfilling the existing contracts), is it possible to completely close this sky, given the possibility of an enemy inflicting a massive missile strike (it seems like it already was) well and most importantly: the Serbs have not restored everything after the last bombing, and the price for a full-fledged air defense system will simply exceed the budget, so what should Borisov discuss there?

What other S-400s for Serbia?
Firstly, for Serbia, these are astronomical amounts.
Secondly, the S-400 assumes the presence of advanced layered air defense.
Thirdly, the country has not resolved disagreements with a recent adversary. She, God forbid, in which case to defend their interests with the available forces.
Fourth, the prospect of such a shift in relations with Russia is not yet obvious. It is necessary to understand how stable such political will will be and long-term, what will be the support of the pro-Russian course among the electorate in the future.
There are still too many “but” and “if” to supply advanced systems to Serbia.

[bar]

What other S-400s for Serbia?

Apparently no. Apparently limited to French Mistral 3

[Flooding]

Quote: bar

Apparently no. Apparently limited to French Mistral 3

And it is quite possible that they will be limited to these 18 pews.
What do you think the prospect of ZRAK Pasars-16 shines in the light of the upcoming supplies of Armor?
Yes, the armor will certainly come out more expensive than the local product.
But his performance characteristics should be a cut above.
Therefore, I consider this situation as:
- A concession to European partners with which little Serbia has to reckon
- pilot delivery to compare the characteristics of the Russian and French systems
- decision on the final appearance of the cheaper Serbian ZRAK according to the results of comparison

[bar]

What do you think the prospect of ZRAK Pasars-16 shines in the light of the upcoming supplies of Armor?

I don’t think about the perspectives of the Carapaces. not an expert in these matters. But the prospects for "little" Serbia are the same as for little Montenegro and little Macedonia. They will not succeed in anything with "independence", one way or another, but they will have to decide. And, apparently, they will also join NATO sooner or later.

Serbia discusses further vector of foreign policy

I will not even say that ours and yours .... only mine, this is definitely what you need!

[Thrifty]

God forbid to tear the Serbs from NATO! The people deserve a better life, and making friends with those who recently bombed Serbia at least is nonsense. ..

[Kirill Dou]

In the 50s, the USSR was already friends with the Germans, Hungarians, Romanians and other countries, whose soldiers only 10 years ago briskly slaughtered the population of the USSR.

There is no friendship in politics. No, it never was and never will be. Each country seeks a temporary ally based on current interests and political conditions.

[Nikolay Fedorov]

Those who bombed Belgrade in the 99th have now given the Serbs the idea of ​​neutrality. They also diligently and smartly throw the idea of ​​neutrality to the men of Russia. So it’s easier to destroy each individually ...

For your information, for those 3 years that you mentioned, those same patriotic charged officers disappeared into the meat grinder of the war. Just in their place came the orange-liberoid youth, which was one of the factors in the collapse of the army and navy

[Kirill Dou]

"For your information, in those 3 years that you mentioned, those very patriotic charged officers disappeared into the meat grinder of war" - and now we are looking at real history, and not your pink fantasies:

General Kornilov participated in the arrest of the Royal family.

General Brusilov (organizer of the Brusilovsky breakthrough, yes) supported the abdication of Nicholas II.

General Alekseev also supported Nikolai's abdication "from the throne.

General Ruzsky - personally forced Nicholas 2 to sign the text of the abdication.

General Denikin - supported the abdication of Nicholas 2.

General Polivanov - supported the abdication of Nicholas II, the organizer of the transformation of the Russian army on a "democratic basis."

These are just a few names of high-ranking military officials of the Russian Empire who went through the First World War from the very beginning and took an active part in the overthrow of the monarchy in the Russian Empire. Such is the "orange-liberoid youth", oga.
