Serbian Defence Industry Aims for Exports

摘要

The Serbian defence industry has now firmly re-established itself as one of the key players in Europe with the capability to design, develop and manufacture a wide range of weapon systems, especially in the key land sector. Marketing of these is carried out by Yugoimport SDPR with the backing of the Serbian MoD as well as a number of government agencies and establishments such as the Material Resources Sector and the Defence Technologies Department. The Military Technical Institute (MIT) is by far the largest scientific research element in Serbia and its main areas are classical armament, vehicles, artillery systems and ammunition, aircraft and electronic systems and materials. According to the MIT, over the last seven decades, it has developed over 1,300 key items of equipment and today has supplied about 75 of the weapons and equipment used by the Serbian armed forces, in addition it has won major export contracts in recent years, especially for artillery systems.
