Serbia has given the world a lesson, and Chinese weapons have become a stabilizing force. The Gulf countries are now regretting it!
The Persian Gulf region is now in chaos. The U.S. military base in the Middle East has suffered heavy damage, revealing the sluggish response and high cost of the traditional Western-dominated security system when facing asymmetric warfare and low-cost, high-precision strikes.
At the same time, one thing has been overlooked by everyone: there were also undercurrents in the Balkans. Kosovo once showed signs of stirring, and Croatia and Albania even publicly hinted that they might support Kosovo in taking "stronger measures" against Serbia. For a moment, the war seemed to be just around the corner.
But in March 2026, during a routine exercise, the Serbian military publicly displayed for the first time the Chinese-imported CM400AMG supersonic anti-ship/ground missile system, as well as the "Leishi-6" glide-guided bomb. Serbia announced that the CM400AMG has a range of more than 280 kilometers, with a terminal speed of up to 4 Mach, and possesses strong penetration capabilities; the Leishi-6 allows old aircraft to instantly gain the ability to precisely strike targets over hundreds of kilometers away.
As soon as the news came out, the neighboring countries immediately became quiet. The Croatian Ministry of Defense subsequently issued a statement saying "respecting Serbia's sovereignty," and Albania also stated "hoping to resolve differences through dialogue." The military adventure that had been brewing was thus quelled by the display of a few pieces of equipment.
After the Persian Gulf conflict ended, more and more countries will realize that China's defense products not only offer high cost-effectiveness but also increasingly demonstrate solid combat performance. The Gulf countries will regret not having purchased Chinese weapons earlier.
