We sold those to Iraq after W rolled in back in 2003. I guess Iraqi Army had some "inventory reshuffling" in the meantime...

Whoever buys this one is one lucky mid-east SOB, that is some high quality product right there.

Yes, M21 was exported to Iraqis, and they seem to have lost plenty in 2014. during ISIS expansion. Also UK security agencies obtained couple hundred pieces. Also some were captured by Iraqis while civilians tried to smuggle them to ISIS teritory, brand new in crates obv stolen from army storages... bribery everywhere.

Its decent weapon, abit too prone to rust tho for my taste.

YUMCO (JUMKO) from Vranje, produces textile products for Serbian army and export (pics are from 2012.).

"Prva Petoletka" from Trstenik company, back in its prime was the most modern company in this part of the world, was building best hydraulics and components, maybe even in Euroasia. Sadly its in quite sorry state these days, pics are from 2012.

"At the Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition & Conference (DIMDEX 2016) currently underway in Qatar, Serbian company Yugoimport unveils its latest project: The Fast Patrol Vessel - Interceptor (FPV-I). FPV-I is a high performance assault vessel. Currently at project stage, a Yugoimport representative explained to Navy Recognition during DIMDEX that the vessel will be capable to reach a speed of 40+ knots with full load. The crew complement is set to be 3 to 4 men depending on weapon arrangement, and accomodations for up to 20 passengers. Endurance is expected to be 8 hours at cruising speed. The length of the vessel is 16 meters full a displacementof 20 tons.



The FPV-I can be used in a wide variety of missions:
Fast insert or extraction of troops
Patrol Duty
Anti-trafficking and anti-smuggling
Blockade of ports



The hull of FPV-I will be completely built from marine grade alluminum alloy. Hull will be deep V with a specific bow. The bow will be strenghthened to allow beaching. Double bottom area will be filled with PU foam to ensure that even in case of hull damage, the vessel will still float. Propulsion is achieved with two waterjets.

There are 5 stations for weapons. Stations can be used for mounting a single 20mm cannon, remotely controlled weapon stations 12.7mm, single or double HMG, single 7.62mm MG, 30mm AGL. Various missile launchers may be fitted at the stern such as the ALAS Advanced Light Attack Missile System."

"The rifles in the running to be the next Pakistani individual weapon are the Beretta ARX-200, CZ-806 Bren 2, FN SCAR, Kalashnikov AK-103, and Zastava M21. Interestingly, the caliber of the new weapons seems to be undecided. The AK-103 is chambered for the 7.62x39mm Russian caliber, while the ARX-200 in 7.62x51mm NATO caliber. The FN SCAR may be either the 7.62×51 NATO -H variant, or the 5.56 NATO -L variant. The CZ-806 and M21 are both in 5.56mm, however. Oddly, Pakistan’s close defense partner, China, does not appear to have a rifle in the running, although it could offer either its QBZ-97 or QBZ-03 rifles in 5.56mm if desired.

The primary focus of the new program is to not only upgrade the existing rifle designs, but to upgrade the Pakistani Ordnance Factory to a more modern standard, thereby ensuring Pakistani small arms autonomy for the 21st Century."

However, there are few issues with this text. First of all Serbia is not participating with M21 in this tender but highly modified M77, using components that were developed for M21. Which means its in "heavy" NATO caliber 7,62x51 aka .308 Winchester. Judging by words from one of the insiders from Serbian forum Serbian variant outperfomed every other contestant in terms of durability and was on pair with them in terms of winter operations.







This is the one in pics. Pakistan wants to obtain two rifles, one in .308 and one in assault rifle catrige 7,62x39 where it seems main candidate is Scar Light... Anyways if Zastava would win this tender (probably wont happen due to political reasons) it would be one of the biggest military contract we ever signed.

Yugoimport SDPR aka Photoshop company as we call it here. Iranians at least build mockups

Militarov, I saw you're back in this forum. I wanted to ask you what you think about the products which are on this website

http://www.yugoimport.com/en/proizvodi/kopnena-vojska-kov

Are they better or worst than russian or Nato équivalents, in general ? What about the radars and ECM presented, battle management softwere? The 125 mm are made with steel or tungusten ?

An army armed with them could beat an army (equivalent numbers and training) armed with nato equipement?
