What's new

Serbian defense industry

It's no wonder Serbia's defence industry is large, it inherited the majority of SFR Yugoslavia's capabilities, in Bosnia, entire factories had their production machinery transferred to Serbia during the Yugoslav wars, like how SOKO in Mostar had its production tools moved to UTVA in Pancevo by the JNA, so Serbia today inherits a significant portion of Yugoslavia's production and development capabilities, and during the days when Yugoslavia was still stable, all the Yugoslav defence industry products were designed in the Aeronautical Technical Institute in Belgrade even though they were usually produced elsewhere, so Serbia is left with all the design knowledge from the days of SFR Yugoslavia as well. Anyway, nice industry, it's impressive.

That is simply not true. Yes some smaller machines, reserve parts for G4 and J22 and maintenance tools were taken from SOKO in 1992 and transfered to Serbia. SOKO was damaged during the war, but most of machinery was preserved. Later SOKO was destroyed through unsuccessful privatization, like many other companies in ex Yugoslavia. Many defence companies in Bosnia are working normally even today, and their major partners are Serbian defence companies. Yes some of them were damaged during the war, but most of those that bankrupted, did so because they couldn't find their place in world market after 1995 and because of bad management. So we did not took their machinery, that is just a myth. Bosnian defence industry is recovering in the last few years, and not because they bought some new machines. they are still working on the same ones that we supposedly moved to Serbia.

And all Serbian companies suffered heavy damage during the NATO bombing in 1999. Some of them were forced to practically start from the beginning. For example Krusik Valjevo was bombed with 170 projectiles, and 92% of the factory was destroyed in 1999. So large portion of what we inherited from SFRJ was destroyed.

Visit to "Complex Battle Systems" factory

Minister of Defence Bratislav Gasic and Head of the General Staff of Serbia General Ljubisa Dikovic visited today the "Complex Battle Systems" company, “Morava” business unit in Velika Plana that is a part of “Jugoimport – SDPR”, where they visited the factory units for production of artillery weaponry and armored combat vehicles.

During the visit, a part of the production program of “Jugoimport-SDPR” was showcased –155mm self-propelled howitzer Nora, multi-role military vehicle Lazar 2 and Soldier of the Future VB-10 gear.

During the meting with management staff of the factory, Minister of Defence and Head of the General Staff learned about the results of the work and future plans. The fourth stage of the construction of the complex of the "Complex Battle Systems" company is under way, and, by the end of the year, new halls will be released with equipment for production of artillery and other barrels and for assembly with storage, and a lacquer finishing facility. With the end of the planned works, aside from the production of artillery weaponry and combat vehicles, there will be possibility for production and assembly of other complex means of weaponry and military equipment as well, with overhaul services. With the release of the facility for barrel production, important components will be provided for the production of artillery weapons and dependence on import will be decreased.

The production complex of the "Complex Battle Systems" company in Velika Plana has been built in four stages, since 2013. The area of all production capacities in Velika Plana is 12,400 square meters, and overall worth of the investment that includes the purchase of the land, construction of production halls with the accompanying infrastructure and working equipment is 13.6 million euros.

13.6million for the land, buildings, and machine tools is a bargain. How were they able to do all that for only 13.6M?

It's a land of ex Gosa service company, which bankrupted, and that is in Velika Plana, where price for a land is not high. And they probably got it more or less for free because opening a company there means new jobs in that region. Most of investment went in machines and new production halls, and some halls were already there so they only had to renovate them.
 
Lazar 2 MRAV/MRAP 8x8 armoured Yugoimport video report Army Recognition Defense Web TV

The Serbian Defense Company Yugoimport opens the doors of its new BSS "Complex Combat System" factory in Velika Plana (Serbia) for the editorial team of Army Recognition Group to make a video report for its Defense Web TV about the Lazar 2, the latest generation of Serbian-made 8x8 MRAV (multirole armoured)/MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) combat vehicle.

„Complex Combat Systems“ d.o.o. is a legal successor to “Belom“ d.o.o. Company for the production of and trade in hunting ammunition. Belom Company was founded on 20th November 1995. and was named Belom which is an abbreviation for Belgrade Hunting Ammunition (Beogradska Lovacka Municija).
On the other hand, within one year as of its founding, Complex Combat Systems Company has managed to manufacture NORA 155 mm self-propelled howitzer and LAZAR 2 combat vehicle in the production facility Morava located in Velika Plana. Beside the production, BSS has also been active in the field of foreign trade in armaments and defense equipment.

The LAZAR 2 8x8 MRAV/MRAP Multipurpose Armored Vehicle 8x8 is designed following modern world trends in development of a wheeled armored vehicles families intended for carrying out of a number of tactical tasks in modern armed conflicts.

The Lazar 2 concept is merging of most important features of MRAV (Multi Role Armored Vehicle), and MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle) armored vehicle concepts, featuring with very high all-terrain/all climate conditions mobility, high fire power, high all-round ballistic protection, high AT mines/IED protection as well as possibility of battlefield observation and target engagement by embarked crew personal weapons. Vehicle concept provides these unique combination of basic characteristics of the two classes.

Lazar 2 hull provides standard ballistic protection STANAG 4569 Level 2 and mine protection level 2a/2

The hull is designed to provide comfortable space to 2+10 crew with personal equipment and weapons. The space is designed in accordance with MIL-STD 1472.

The hull of the LAZAR 2 provides a standard ballistic protection STANAG 4569 Level 2, firing of small arms 7.62x39 AP on 360° and mine protection level 2a/2, 6 kg of TNT under the center of the floor and any wheels of the vehicle. In option, the Lazar 2 can be fitted with additional armour to increase protection up to level 4 for the ballistic protection and to level 3A/3b for the mine protection.

One of the main feature of the Lazar 2 is that troops compartment is designed so as to provide for the soldiers to be oriented toward large windows made of ballistic glass, and towards gun holes, thus enabling them excellent visibility and survey of the surrounding environment and their combat engagement by using of their personal armament.

The Lazar 2 is equipped with roof-hanged seats for crew and embarked squad to increase survivability in case of AT mine /IED explosion and blast.

Two doors at the rear combined with rear ramp enable as well as well-designed crew layout, allow rapid embarkation / disembarkation of the dismounting infantry team crew. This unique feature is enabling variations of disembarking procedure in dependence with tactical situation. During embarkation, side doors can be side-opened, protecting the disembarking team from enemy small arms fire.

Lazar 2 turret is armed with one 30mm automatic cannon, one remote weapon station armed with 7,62mm machine gun and two upgraded anti-tank missile Malyutka.

The version of LAZAR 2 presented at the BSS factory to Army Recognition editorial team was equipped with one man turret armed with a 30mm cannon designed for engagement of ground targets with an effective range of 3,300m (manpower and lightly armoured targets) and aerial targets (helicopters and low flying aircraft) with an effective range of 2,500m. Second armmaent consists of a remote weapon station armed with a 7.62mm machine gun.

On the right side of the main armament, two launchers for SACLOS (Semi-Automatic Command to Line Of Sight) upgraded anti-tank missile Malyutka (2T and 2F) with electronic guidance system and optoelectronic unit able to fire at a maximum range of 3,000 m and penetrate armour from 400 to 600 mm.

In conclusion and based to our first analysis, we can say that the Lazar 2 design concept offers a modern armoured vehicle that meets all combat requirements, both in urban and rural environments, which is achieved with good mobility, fire power, ballistic and anti-mine protection.
