You know who was one of the major parties that supplied Croatia with all kinds of wonderful stuff? Russia You may be surprised but Dudayev, Chechen separatism leader got almost all the stuff of the 242-th military training center (it's about 42 tanks, tens of APCs, heavy artillery, some Mi-8 helos and about two hundreds of L-29 and L-39 planes, not mentioning tons of rifles and ammo) by Kremlin's order. Despite protests of army servicemen who were ordered to leave all the objects and withdraw from Chechnya. So I know that some stuff had been sold to Bosnia and Croatia silently.

From what I know Mi-24s and MiGs are from Ukraine. On 4/24/2017 at 6:33 PM, Tonci87 said: Croatia also received an S-300 AA system at the end of the war. It is considered that the presence of this system was the main reason why the Serbian Airforce didn´t intervene in operation storm. S-300??? Wow... Something new for me. Did they get Topol-M also?

At that time Russia had not any own interests at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if joking, since the Topol-M wasn´t even ready at that time... Regarding the S-300, there is a small scandal currently and Russia is a wee bit pissed at Croatia. Apparently we kind of failed to pay for the S-300 missiles, and we may have not only given the Americans access to it so that they can study the system, but we also kind of misplaced it (read: secretly sold it to the US or to Israel) during the Sanader administration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
