Serbian defense minister visiting China
On the first day, Vulin visited two Chinese special-purpose industry companies, AVIC and CATIC, that are engaged in the development and production of planes, helicopters, unmanned aircraft and anti-aircraft systems."Today, I am here to see what Chinese partners produce, what can they offer us. First of all, we are interested in conquering technologies that would enable us to produce different systems, and then, of course, in some off-the-shelf combat systems that certainly might be useful for our army. It is very important for the Serbian Armed Forces to catch up with the world’s developments," Vulin stated.
"The Serbian Armed Forces has not been renewed for many years. We can freely say that for some thirty years we have not renewed the army and that we have been technologically lagging behind the world. And now, since 2012, when Aleksandar Vucic became minister of defense, to date, we are trying to make up for this really big backlog – and everything that has been neglected - sometimes because there was no money, and sometimes in a planned manner and deliberately in order to destroy our army. These times have passed," Vulin said.
