Serbia staged its "largest ever military parade" in Belgrade, showcasing tanks, missile systems and fighter jets in what officials described as the country's biggest display of army strength in its history.
The "Power of Unity" parade saw President Aleksandar Vucic review about 10,000 troops, saying the show of force underscored Serbia's ability to defend its independence and sovereignty.
Vucic spoke of "pride" as more than 600 vehicles, 70 aircraft and 20 vessels were put on show.
"We worked on this together - soldiers and citizens, state and people. This is both the survival and the victory of Serbia, which wants peace and prosperity and knows how to protect its dignity, territory and future," Vucic said on social media.
A 300-meter-long Serbian national flag was displayed after the national anthem was sung.
Columns of troops marched through the capital as crowds waved national flags, while aircraft roared overhead.
The event featured both domestically produced weapons as well as rocket launchers from Israel, drones purchased from the United Arab Emirates as well as tanks supplied by Russia and anti-aircraft systems from China.
What caught most of the attention of military experts was the Israeli PULS system, a versatile rocket artillery platform capable of launching a range of munitions with varying ranges and payloads.
Serbia is mostly surrounded by NATO-member states and has close ties with Moscow and Beijing despite its declared goal of joining the European Union.
