Russia, Serbia to Carry Out Joint Air Force Drills

Military pilots from Russia and Serbia will conduct joint training exercises in September 2015, the Russian Defense Ministry said Thursday.
Pilots from both countries will represent tactical and ground-support units in mixed crews.
Aircrew on MiG-29 fighters will perform tasks to intercept air targets, while Mi-8 military transport and combat helicopters will work on tactical landings, covering ground units from the air, firing missiles at ground targets at the site, as well as aircrew search and rescue operations.
Aspiring EU member Serbia has maintained friendly relations with Russia despite the European Union’s numerous sanctions against Moscow, including in the military field, over its alleged involvement in the Ukraine crisis.
