1. How much? 250mn each?

2. The collapse of the Russian arms industry. These deals are made for many decades.

4. Vive la France.

5. Slowly but surely, people are coming to their senses. Let’s hope the move away from Russia keeps going steadily. We must applaud all steps.

6. Macron are you alright in the head?

7. I agree that this seems more like Serbia is purchasing from France because they have to, not because they aren’t semi-aligned with Ruzzofazzists.

8. This doesn’t seem like a good idea. Is Serbia even a Western ally? I thought they supported Russia.

9. they bought because we croats bought them,too.

10. You obviously don’t want Russian equipment. Reality has shown them to be exactly what we all expected…..overhyped JUNK. The MiG29 is still a sexy bitch though

11. Seems sanctions do work

12. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Serbia used these against France in an upcoming war? It was too easy for this pro-Russian country to all of a sudden be pro-Europe.

13. 250 mil per jet? Something must be wrong with my math.
