The sale of the 11 Russian attack helicopter Mi-35P, as well as other related equipment, negotiate the Ministry of Defence with the corresponding Ministry of Defence of Serbia.


The Council of Ministers, after being informed on a confidential proposal that was tabled before with the subject "Withdrawal of military equipment" lit recently the green light for the negotiations. The aim of the Ministry of Defence is the sale of the 11 Russian combat helicopters Mi-35, with the simultaneous purchase of a new, modern combat helicopters. The plan that was drawn up, provides for the purchase of 12 total attack helicopter in two phases (six plus six helicopters) over a decade.

Just what Serbia needs a decent attack heli, and with the added crew/cabin space it's such a versatile Heli add to this the Mi-17 it's really the only two Heli u need if your on a tight budget like Serbia. The gazelles are getting old and I always thought the Ansat 2RC would have been a great substitute for the gazelles, and Serbia could still fit it's new 2T5 homegrown version of saggar a command guided & 5km version they currently put on the gazelles.

Some good pics of the newer systems

M-80AB1 armed with 2x 2T5 sagger and 30mm gun.


The LRSVM M18 Oganj can be armed with multiple different types of unguided and guided rockets from 107mm, 122mm, 128mm, etc see pic for full details.

M56A1 upgraded gun, making it more reliable and robust as well as increased range of 18km
Second pic is the gun on self propelled vehicle named SOKO.



PASARS-16 armed with the initial 40mm bofors gun which now has programmable ammunition consisting of 1100 Tungsten pellets is developed to be used with 40mm gun giving to system Airburst round firing capability. Along with either RLN-IC/170 missiles a homegrown version of the Soviet R-13M, or Igla MANPAD, Serbia is in the process of making a version using Mistral missiles

SPAT 30/2 Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun with a new turret model called Foka with two Zastava 30 mm cannons mounted on a BVP - M80 armoured vehicle.


Also worth a mention is Serbia's upgrade of the 2S1, which allows the vehicle to deploy into firing mode in 20 seconds, an increase of 38% in range with the use of two new types of artillery projectiles, rate of fire increased to 6-8 rounds per minute, and with the new ballistic computers allows the 2S1 to use MRSI technique which multiple round simultaneous impact (MRSI), where a single weapon fires multiple rounds at differing trajectories so that all rounds arrive on target at the same time. Also a 12.7mm machine gun had been added with a small armoured shield for the gunner, this is seen in the picture pointed rear wards protected the vehicle.

I was always shocked seeing the things such a small country as Serbia can do if they need them.
Very creative and cost effective.
Outstanding.

The back end looks like Strela-10Ms, but the nose fins are too big and Strela-10M is IR guided and that obviously has a radar antenna in its nose.

The containers for carrying the missiles look like Strel-10M missile boxes, as used on the MTLB chassis (SA-13).

Serbia Purchases Essential Air Defense Equipment from Hungary

Serbia has purchased air defense system elements from Hungary. The 2K12 KUB was developed in the Soviet Union in the 1960s, but was modernized jointly by the Hungarian and Polish defense industries in the 2000s. A similar deal between Hungary and Serbia has been concluded in recent months, reports Magyar Nemzet, based on the Serbian website Srbija Danas.

Serbia is buying components for its 2K12 KUB air defense system from Hungary. According to the newspaper, it is about the RStON 1S91M target detection and tracking radar stations, which suffered the most from the mass strikes of AGM-88 HARM high-speed anti-radar missiles during the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia in 1999. Their procurement is necessary to activate the missile systems of the existing 2K12 KUB missile classes of the Serbian Air Force and Air Defense. The Serbian Armed Forces maintain three KUB-M classes in the framework of the 250th Air Defense Missile Brigade, deployed in Novi Sad (Újvidék), Kragujevac, and Niš.

The army is planning to set up a new sub-unit in Kraljevo, also requiring the purchase of second-hand radio-electronic vehicles.

A similar deal between Hungary and Serbia has already been concluded in recent months, when Serbia purchased 26 BTR-80A armored infantry fighting vehicles from Hungary.
