The Republic of Serbia Air Force and Air Defence recently grounded its last operational MiG-29 fighters due to a bird ingestion incident, it was revealed during a session of the security and internal affairs committee of Serbia's National Assembly on 12 September. The nation's quick reaction alert (QRA) mission is now conducted by a pair of obsolete MiG-21UM 'Mongol-B'jet trainers modified to carry R-60 short-range infrared homing air-to-air missiles.
