Summary/Abstract: The analysis shows that the Ministry of Defense has to review the need for this project as soon as possible, in view of the announced equipping of the Serbian Armed Forces with MiG-29 fighter planes, several-year delay of the beginning of the project and Super Galeb maintenance difficulties. The paper also shows that the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces cannot effectively plan modernization and equipping projects without a top-level political decision on what type of army Serbia needs, and without a more decisive fiscal policy, which would ensure funds for priority projects on a medium-term level. The paper begins with presenting the idea of the Ministry of Defense of the G-4 Super Galeb military trainer aircraft modernization project. Afterward, the performance of this project and external factors on the modernization military trainer aircraft are analysed. At the end, recommendations regarding the future of this project are provided.
