Serbia recently purchased Chinese CM-400AKG air-to-surface ballistic missiles for its air force, becoming the weapon's first European operator, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said late on Thursday. Vucic said the Serbian air force had adapted its Soviet-made MiG-29 fighter jets to carry the CM-400AKG. The CM-400AKG, manufactured by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC), is a supersonic air-to-surface ballistic missile. It saw its first combat use during the 2025 India–Pakistan conflict, when Pakistan's air force targeted an Indian S-400 air defence system. Vucic declined to disclose the price Serbia paid for the missiles, saying only it received a "slight discount".
