Incorrect, im pretty sure that Yugoslavia during Tito's era would have remained neutral, and would have combated both eastern and western forces if they were brave enough to enter Yugoslavia.
In the words of Tito:
"We will not turn our weapons towards any nation, unless they turn their weapons on us first"
I cant remember the exact words, however.
EDIT: Oh and Yugoslavia only hated the USSR during Stalins rule. When Kruschev came to power Yugoslav-Soviet relationships improved greatly. Alot of Yugoslavias domestically made equipment was based on Soviet designs [Such as the M-84], but not all. the Yugoslav G-4 Super Galeb was of a totally new design.
