After that, our side will reconstruct the aircraft and the Chinese side will redesign a part of its electronic equipment and avionics in accordance with the results of the first phase. All calculations, analysis, computer simulations and laboratory research are going to be conducted together so that our engineers would gain experiences which they lack.Thus, the jointly modified and equipped aircraft will be first tested in China and then in Serbia, including live firing with laser guided missiles, in order for the asset to be introduced in the organic armament of the Serbian Armed Forces.
After that, in the third phase, with assistance from Chinese experts, series production of the aircraft Pegasus will be established in Serbia.
