Vučić said that there are ongoing investments in new products of the domestic purpose industry that will be introduced into the armament of the Serbian Armed Forces.
"We are now investing 300 million euros in the products of domestic industry that enter our army. Only in domestic industry and products," Vučić said during the tour, together with representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Army.
He added that they are working on a new generation of artillery.
"Now we are moving on to artillery, a new generation of artillery, the first biggest weapon it will have is Tamnava, with Orkan 2, NORA 70mm rockets," said Vučić.
Artillery is next to tanks, the mother of all wars. And that can be seen now in Ukraine. We may love drones and helicopters, but artillery is fundamentally the one that wins on the front. And, these are such great reinforcements for us, he pointed out.
"Tamnava, along with our Nora, is a huge reinforcement for the army," he said and added that there are 18 Nora in the brigade, and six more should arrive.
Vučić pointed out that rifles would have to have a transparent magazine, so that the soldier could see how many bullets there are.
"Something that has not passed the TOC cannot be used by the army, they are difficult people, only that which guarantees safety and can achieve the intended results can be used," said Vučić. star_border
