Russia has delivered all six of the MiG-29s to Serbia after a meeting between then Prime Minister, and current President, Aleksandar Vučić and Russian President Vladimir Putin in March 2017. The MiGs are a gift from Russia to Serbia, but the modernization will still cost Serbia around $210.7 million. Russia also plans to donate 30 T-72 tanks and 30 BRDM-2 reconnaissance and patrol combat vehicles. (Translated from Al-Jazeera Balkans, TASS)
