It is a overkill for Serbia, a country that can barely afford to fund a standard air force—let alone two extremely expensive, high-end fighters of the same generation and weight class. Yes, if I had an unlimited budget, it would make sense—though I generally consider the reduction to a simple PESA-versus-AESA comparison to be too simplistic—and besides, Serbia is politically torn between the "old guard" looking toward the East and many among the younger population who clearly want to join Europe.

Ayi: The Serbs are planning to cut in line to buy the J-10CE. Having lived through 1999, Vučić still wants to leave the Serbian people some military legacy in his final stretch.

Then buy drones and tunnel boring machines. The single upside of being surrounded by NATO countries is they are in a target rich environment. Is it really a good idea to concentrate their limited defense funds on a few vulnerable planes? They really should be taking cues from Ukraine on defending against a larger enemy.

No-one ... no such dated MiG-29 will ever have the capability to carry an AESA and R-37M AAM.

The L-15 made its debut at a U.S. airshow. The UAE Air Force's Knight Aerobatic Team has arrived at MacArthur Airport on Long Island, New York, preparing to make their U.S. debut at the upcoming FourLeaf Air Show.

Ukraine is a bad cue when your entire country can be glide bombed and seen through.

I think we should refrain from such comments even more since the Russian side is also not a prime-example of how a decent air defence works!
