Where is the arms race between Serbia and Croatia leading?

Burst for burst, howitzer for howitzer, rocket for rocket

At the beginning of September, Croatia announced that it had ordered a division of 18 self-propelled multi-barrel K239 rocket launchers from South Korea and that it had entered into an agreement on the modernization of 12 French Rafale aircraft, for which the taxpayers of that country will allocate slightly more than 656 million euros. This brought the arms race with Serbia, which has been going on for a decade with ups and downs, to its culmination. Now the expert public is wondering what the official Belgrade or Zagreb could order additionally, considering that in that period, following each other, they modernized practically all aspects of the armed forces. An even more important question is - where will they find the money for it, bearing in mind that billions of euros have already been spent on both sides
