The Serbian Air Force intends to modernize from 15 to 20 of its G-4 Super Galeb trainers to G-4MD standard in order to extend the service life and improve aircraft efficiency. The aircraft will be fitted with new avionics including LCD flight screens, HOTAS, HUD, integrated mission computers, distance measuring equipment, GPS-based navigation systems, identification friend or foe, navcomm units, mission records, and VHF omni-range and instrument landing systems. Integration of guided weapons, countermeasures and targeting systems is also scheduled as part of the upgrade, which is estimated to cost 4 to 5 million Euros per trainer.

Though suspended due to the Yugoslav wars, the Super Galeb update program was revived to provide a more capable type in weaponry training and light attack roles. The variant's improvements include advanced avionics and higher-rated hardpoints complemented by a missile rail at each wingtip. The avionics include a Zrak ENP-MG4 HUD incorporating a Rudi Cajavec ENS-MG4 electronic sight, a gyro platform, multi function displays, and an optional chaff/flare dispensers. The inner hardpoints are rated at 500 kg, while the outer ones are rated at 350 kg, giving a maximum disposable load of 1,800 kg. Normal takeoff weight is 4,971 kg as a trainer, with a maximum takeoff weight of 6,400 kg in the attacker configuration, the maximum speed in "clean" configuration is 865 km/h at 10,000 m and 900 km/h at 4,000 m, with a ferry range of 2,900 km with drop tanks; range of 1,800 km with standard fuel, reduced to 1,200 km with cannon pack, four BL755 cluster bombs and two AAMs, maximum rate of climb at sea level of 1,800 m per minute, and a service ceiling of 12,500 m

During the Kosovo War the G-4 was used in several combat missions attacking KLA positions in Kosovo at treetop level without loss. However, seven G-4 aircraft from the Leteće Zvezde display team were destroyed in an underground tunnel hangar at Golubovci Airbase, as a result of a NATO airstrike which set off a chain of sympathetic fires and explosions inside the tunnel which was overcrowded with various, mostly obsolete aircraft. The fire and explosions spread destroying all aircraft inside the tunnel, taking three days to contain. The officer responsible for the tunnel hangar was disciplined for incompetence. Only two G-4s have been involved in fatal accidents in its 27 years of service; the latest involved a Serbian G-4 Super Galeb which crashed at Batajnica Air Base near Belgrade on 24 September 2008 while practicing for an upcoming air show, pilotted by Ištvan Kanas

The Soko G-4 Super Galeb is a single engine, advanced jet trainer/light strike aircraft. First flown on 17 July 1978, with serial production beginning in 1982, the G-4 was designed to replace the G-2 Galeb and Lockheed T-33 in the Yugoslav Air Force. In the early 1990s the G-4 was also a contender in the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System program in the U.S, being highly praised by the evaluation pilots that flew it, losing to the Raytheon/Pilatus entry, which became the T-6 Texan II. There was also a projected single seat version, called the "G-5", which would have had greater attack capability including a radar, but was dropped due to the disintegration of Yugoslavia.

The G-4 saw some combat during the Yugoslav wars. In total three G-4s were shot down, all pilots safely ejected. A notable incident is that of aircraft No.23733 flown by Second Lieutenant Brаnislаv Ivаnоvski, damaged over Lički Ribnik by a FIM-92 Stinger surface-to-air missile fired by Croatian forces. He landed safely at Udbina. The aircraft's tail is now preserved at the Museum of Aviation in Belgrade, while the aircraft was repaired and returned to serivce, a testament to the aircraft's resilience to missile strikes
