Serbia plans to buy at least six Russian military transport helicopters and air defense systems, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday in an interview with TASS First Deputy Director General Mikhail Gusman ahead of his visit to Moscow. This reported by TASS.

"We have received six Russian MiG-29 warplanes, which are now undergoing modernization. We expect they will be in full operational readiness within months. We have other applications: we want to buy weapons, we want to buy at least six military transport helicopters and air defense systems," he said.

"Serbia is an independent country, a military neutral country, so we must be strong militarily to be able to defend our land. I hope to discuss this and many other topics with Vladimir Putin," President Vucic said.
