2025 Belgrade Parade Showcases Military Strength
The parade featured 10,000 troops, MiG-29 fighters, Rafale jets, and Russian tanks.
It followed November 2024 protests after a concrete collapse in Novi Sad killed 16 people.
The event included Israeli rocket launchers, UAE drones, and Chinese anti-aircraft systems.
President Aleksandar Vučić and Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik attended.
The government claimed the parade emphasized national sovereignty, while critics called it politically motivated.
Serbia maintains ties with Moscow, Beijing, and has ordered 12 multi-purpose aircraft.
