Serbian MiG-29s Now Armed With Chinese Supersonic Missiles
Serbia has recently become an operator of the Chinese-made CM-400 air-launched supersonic standoff missile, integrating it into its upgraded Soviet-era MiG-29 Fulcrums. This acquisition grants Serbia a potent standoff strike capability likely unmatched in Europe outside of Russia. The CM-400, developed by CASIC, is a fast, multi-role missile capable of targeting ships or ground-based emitters, and its integration was facilitated by China’s Standalone Weapon Fire Control System, allowing for easier integration on non-Chinese platforms. This move signifies Serbia’s diversification of its arms suppliers beyond Russia, seeking advanced capabilities from both China and Israel.
