Forever Wars: Russian ally Serbia allows NATO wargame? Ohio sends troops!

While Serbia is not a member of NATO, it is a ‘partner’ in NATO’s Partnership for Peace program.  Alliances between Serbia and Russia can be traced all the way back to the 14th Century.

On 15JUN2023, Serbia hosted the U.S./NATO Platinum Wolf wargame, for the first time since 2021. Serbia halted the Platinum Wolf wargame due to NATO’s support for Ukraine, but, after a meeting with U.S. military officials in March 2023, Serbia agreed to continue Platinum Wolf.

On 16JUN2023, it was announced that a Serbian Sergeant First Class had been killed in a vehicle accident near the disputed boundary line with Kosovo and Metohija, in the village of Drenovac.  Metohija is the province claimed by Serbia, yet disputed by Kosovo and NATO. Apparently, rumors were being spread that the accident actually happened during the Platinum Wolf wargame.

It should be realized that U.S./NATO wargames almost always have a scenario involving social collapse, where the public turns against the government! Ministry of Defense Republic of Serbia video, Platinum Wolf VIP (very important person) display, 22JUN2023:

Serbia has hosted Platinum Wolf since 2014.  This year’s wargame ended on 27JUN2023.

NATO members who participated are Greece, Hungary, Italy, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia, United Kingdom,  and the United States (including the Ohio Army National Guard, which has operated inside Serbia since 2006).  NATO ‘partners’ Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Serbia also participated.

SERBIA STILL USES COLD WAR ERA NATO M47?

World War 3, Vehicle I-D: Serbia’s new T-72MS

During the Cold War, Yugoslavia developed their own version of the Soviet T-72, using NATO targeting systems, called the M-84.  Now, Serbia is using the new MS (MC in Serbian Cyrillic) version of the T-72.

The Serbian Defense Ministry claims the T-72MS is a joint development between Russia and Serbia.  However, all 30 T-72MS tanks were made in Russia.  They are described as having ‘special protections’, and is basically an upgraded T-72B1.  The deal was announced in 2019, with the first Serbian ‘White Eagles’ arriving towards the end of Gregorian 2020.

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis:  MAINTAINING YOUR GAZELLE, THE SERBIAN WAY!

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: Maintaining your Gazelle, the Serbian way!

The Aérospatiale Gazelle was designed and built by NATO ‘partner’ France, from 1967 to 1996.  France was one of the founders of NATO, but in 1966 France supposedly withdrew from full membership.  French officials wanted a change in NATO’s command structure.  Apparently NATO gave in, and in 2009 France officially rejoined NATO.

Photo via Ministry of Defense of Republic of Serbia, released 10NOV2018.

At least three variants were produced, known as SA 340SA 341 and SA 342.  The Gazelle was not only used by NATO members, but by non-NATO members, and even countries that were/are considered enemies of NATO, like ‘East Bloc’ Yugoslavia/Serbia (Yugoslavia was not part of the Warsaw Pact, but was considered a pro-Soviet East Bloc country by NATO).

During the Cold War, Yugoslavia’s aviation manufacturer, the now defunct SOKO (not to be confused with NATO Spain’s Soko Aviation), license built the Gazelle. Since the collapse of Yugoslavia, Serbia’s military aircraft are produced/rebuilt by Airforce Plant ‘Moma Stanojlović’, which is capable of producing almost every part needed.

The SA-341/342 Gazelle is known in Serbia as the HN-42 Gama.

World War 3: Drones intercepted? Russian ally Serbia masses troops along border with Kosovo?

01 November 2022 (16:28-UTC-07 Tango 06) 10 Aban 1401/06 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1444/08 Xin-Hai 4720/01 ноября 2022 года

Serbia’s President, Aleksandar Vučić, placed Serbia’s Armed Forces on highest alert, due to escalation of border-crossing tensions with Kosovo.  Kosovo used to be considered a province of Serbia, until the NATO intervention in 1999.  Kosovo did not declare independence until February 2008!

NATOchannel video explainer about their Kosovo Force (KFor):

NATOchannel’s Russian version:

Also, there are yet to be confirmed reports out of Serbia that several NATO drones were intercepted over Raska, Serbia.  Supposedly, MiG-29s were scrambled.  It could actually have been part of Serb wargames that are currently taking place in Raska.

Video of Defense Minister Miloš Vučević’s visit to Raska, 01NOV2022:

Raska just happens to be were Serbia is currently conducting wargames, and the new Defense Minister, Miloš Vučević, paid a visit. But, the latest problems between Serbia and Kosovo involve the license plates, and personal I-Ds, of silly-vilians (civilians) who have to cross the border for their jobs.

The new Serbian Defense Minister gives a speech, not translated, 01NOV2022:

The NATO puppet government of Kosovo has ordered all Serbs still residing in Kosovo to get rid of their Serbian license plates and I-Ds, even if they work in Serbia and have to cross the border daily.

Officials with the NATO’s European Union (EU) and the United States (U.S.), claim they told the Kosovo government not to force Serbs to switch license plates.  In fact, the EU says they’ve been pushing Kosovo and Serbia to ‘normalize’ relations, as part of requirements to join the EU.  In reality, what is going on is the EU and NATO are pushing Serbia to join with them, against Russia.

On 27OCT2022, NATO military leaders met with Serbia’s military leaders to clarify Serbia’s defense plans, and to once again ask Serbia to become a member of NATO.  The Serbian Armed Forces General Staff reminded the NATO delegation that Serbia considers itself neutral, and does not want to join NATO.  However, they also admitted that an independent Kosovo is considered a “major security threat” to Serbia.  Serbia has taken part in NATO’s Partnership for Peace program.

The NATO visit came on the same day that Kosovo refused to delay its new license plate/I-D system.  The EU president, Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen, supports Kosovo:

Video report, dated 03MAR2022, showing Y-20 airborne operations:

South China Morning Post/Associated Press reports that on 10APR2022, the People’s Liberation Army-Air Force flew six of their relatively new Y20 transport aircraft, through NATO airspace (Turkey and Bulgaria), packed with military equipment, to the traditional ally of Russia; Serbia.

PLA photo by Su Feng, 26APR2021.

The report claims the six Y-20s delivered Chinese made HQ-22/FK-3 antiaircraft missile systems.  Communist China’s Y-20s landed at the Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade. Associated Press says Serbian officials refused to comment.

PLA photo by Liu Shu, 04JAN2021.

The Serbian government purchased the HQ-22/FK-3 missile system in 2019, the United States government protested the purchase in 2020.

PLA photo by Liu Shu, 04JAN2021.

China claims the shipment of the HQ-22/FK-3 system, using six fuel guzzling air-transports, was just about delivering “regular military supplies”.

Interestingly, in the past day Serbia has announced intentions to buy fighter-jets from NATO France and drones from NATO Turkey.

In this video report, dated 07MAR2022, a Y-20 pilot states that civilian airports in China must be ‘upgraded’ to support military aircraft, in the name of disaster response:

The Y-20 made its first flight in 2013 and reported for duty with the PLA-Air Force on 06JUL2016. Video report dated 26JAN2022, about the 9th Anniversary of the Y-20’s first flight:

The Y-20 has also made global deliveries of China’s anti-Pandemic vaccine, as well as other Pandemic “prevention and control materials”.

Drought forces Iran to beggar for food! Begins invading farms in other countries, with petro-cash of course!

29 August 2015 (06:10 UTC-07 Tango 01)/07 Shahrivar 1394/14 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/16 Jia-Shen (7th month) 4713

What U.S. economic sanctions?  It’s been revealed that the true reason for inflation in Iran is due to lack of food, not U.S. sanctions: “Between 38 to 40% of the Iranian families’ economy is related to food which requires us to build a base for reducing prices of nutritional products….”-Mohammad Reza Shafeinia, Ministry of Agricultural Jihad

After years of drought the Iranian Ag Industry is suffering from lack of water.  In some places the fresh water sources have dropped so low the water is now too salty.  The drought has also forced government agriculture administrators to abandon their plans to make Iran independent in wheat production (despite earlier reports saying Iran had a record wheat harvest this year).  Even the cultivation of Iranian watermelons and rice is under threat by Mother Nature.

As a result Iran has announced its first foreign farm operation in neighboring Kazakhstan.  A small farm of more than eight hectares (19 acres) has begun cultivation specifically for sale in Iran.  But the next move for Iran is war torn Ukraine.

Despite the U.S. created civil war in European Ukraine, Iran plans to begin farming ops there within the next few months.  After that a farm op in African Ghana.  European Serbia has indicated that it will invest in Iran’s Agriculture Beyond Borders program.

In the South American Brazil, Iran is planning a 60-thousand hectares (148-thousand acres) Beyond Borders farm project.
