In a significant move aimed at reducing the country's reliance on Russian arms, Serbia's president has announced a landmark $3 billion deal to acquire 12 French warplanes. The agreement, which marks a major shift in Serbia's defense procurement strategy, is expected to enhance the country's military capabilities and strengthen its ties with Western allies.

The decision to purchase the French warplanes comes at a time of growing geopolitical tensions in the region, with Serbia seeking to diversify its sources of military equipment. By opting for French aircraft, Serbia aims to bolster its defense capabilities while reducing its dependence on Russian arms, a move that is likely to be closely watched by other countries in the region.
