Russia wants to build helicopter service center in Serbia

Russia would like to establish an international or, at least, regional service center in Serbia that would repair Russian and Soviet-made helicopters, military or civilian ones, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Tuesday.

BELGRADE - Russia would like to establish an international or, at least, regional service center in Serbia that would repair Russian and Soviet-made helicopters, military or civilian ones, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said on Tuesday.

Our offer to build a service center for helicopters does not refer to military issues only. Various helicopters are needed, including civilian ones, Rogozin told Sputnik.

Russia is also addressed by NATO member states for approvals for their helicopter overhauls.

That is why we would like to have a service center in Serbia which would not have a military purpose only, but rather a general, civilian, he said.

Asked whether it would be possible to form a Russian base in Serbia, Rogozin said: This is not a question for us, but for Serbia.

Rogozin: Russia not imposing purchases of "expensive toys"

BELGRADE - Russia is not imposing purchases of any kind of "expensive toys" on Serbia, says Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

Serbia does not need offensive, but defensive weapons, Rogozin said after a meeting with Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

Rogozin reiterated that Russia regards with respect Serbia's concern over Croatia's acquisition of weapons.

I cannot but support Ivica Dacic in wondering what the objectives of that acquisition are - if the range of the ballistic rockets is 300 km, what is their target, Rogozin asked.

Asked how he decided to present a miniature replica of the S-300 air defence system to Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, he said that he can only respond to questions about military assistance to Serbia as a technocrat.

It is a question for your military officials, it has to do with definitions of threats and analyses - we are interested in being aware of an analysis, but what Serbia needs is your own matter, he said.

Proka can you please clarify what the hell they're talking about? As far as i can find Croatia is getting some SL-AMRAAM anti-aircraft systems from Norway, almost certainly paid for by the US. While any arms race in the region is bad for the local economy, anti-aircraft rockets are certainly not ballistic missiles!

well that's quite different from Washington, which shoves it's weapons sales down other peoples throats and resorts to industrial espionage and blackmail to secure sales ( i.e. Brazil F-18's)
Serbia needs the S300 though, Hopefully learned that lesson in 1999. If anything, the US is just as belligerent towards other nations today as it was then.

OK I found it, what is wrong with these people. Are they planning to start a new war?

Although he never mentioned Croatia, Vučić very openly sent a message to Croatia to stop the process of acquiring ballistic missiles for multiple rocket launchers M270 MLRS. He very openly said that during a recent visit to Moscow he asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for help in arms procurement if Croatia were to acquire ballistic missiles for the system.

Croatian Defence Ministry has asked the Pentagon to donate 16 mobile multiple rocket launchers M270 MLRS from US military surplus, through the program of assistance for allied countries. Launchers are armed with 240 mm calibre rockets, and the Defence Ministry plans to purchase several ballistic missiles with a range of 300 kilometres. Unofficial sources say that a Croatian military delegation recently visited the United States to examine the rocket launchers.
 
OK I found it, what is wrong with these people. Are they planning to start a new war?

It is blown out of proportion. By Vucic and Serbian and Croatian newspapers. Yes they did ask for M270, but nobody mentioned ballistic rockets. End even if they do acquire those rockets, so what? Those are expensive toys, and Croatia is poor just like Serbia, so they could buy a symbolic quantity, which won't change anything in the region. But Vucic is always in campaign, it would be better if he actually bought something for Serbian army, instead of crying out how Croatians are buying weapons.

It is supposed to be open on the 22. february this year. Equipment is bought in Spain, and here they will produce staff like rocket engine chamber.

Primers factory in Valjevo:

Should start to work in April this year with capacity of 200 million of primers in this year and 400 in the next.
 
Serbian state-owned co Jugoimport SDPR breaks ground for 90 mln euro ammo plant - govt

ec4822d22b26ca64d0a5a865886a14bb2b25731a.jpeg


BELGRADE (Serbia), April 26 (SeeNews) - A unit of Serbian state-owned company Jugoimport SDPR launched the construction of an ammunition plant worth 90 million euro ($101.8 million) near the western town of Pozega, the government said on Tuesday.

The first two stages of the construction works are scheduled to be completed by July 2017, and the final one is due for completion by 2020, prime minister Aleksandar Vucic said at the opening ceremony, as quoted in a government press release.

The new factory will produce small-calibre ammunition of 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm and 9 mm, with an annual production capacity of 140 million pieces, he added.

The construction works are assigned to state-owned company PMC Engineering.

In early January Vucic said that 45 million euro are to be invested in the Pozega ammunition plant this year alone.

Factory of small arms ammunition in the first and second phase which will be completed by July 2017, will have 19 buildings with a total gross area of 9 thousand square meters and it will annually produce 140 million pieces of ammunition in caliber 5.56, 7.62 and 9 mm. In the third phase, which should be completed by 2020, two more buildings will be added with area of 2300 square meters, which will produce 5 million pieces of ammunition in caliber 12.7mm in 2019, and 10 million pieces in 2020.
 
Meanwhile, checks with Qiblatin Synergy Sdn Bhd revealed that they are sourcing 57mm and 40mm HE rounds from Yugoimport of Serbia for the RMN. Malaysian Defence had previously reported that checks on the Defence Ministry’s tender website revealed that Qiblatin Synergy had won the tenders to supply of 57mm and 40mm HE rounds for the navy. The amount acquired was not revealed but it must be significant as both cannons remained the mainstay of RMN ships.

Yugoimport is one of the mainstay of DSA series of exhibitions although their presence has always been very muted though the Army had been using their 81mm and 60mm mortars for sometime now.

The foundation stone and the new plant in the "Krusik"



Defence Minister Zoran Djordjevic and director of HK "Krusik" ad Valjevo Mladen Petkovic laid the foundation stone for a new primer plant which will employ 120 new workers.

The laying of the foundation stone was attended by Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, Serbian Armed Forces Chief of General Staff General Ljubisa Dikovic, representatives of the Ministry of Defence, the Serbian Armed Forces and defence industries. Then the new production plant was opened in that factory of the defence industry.

Putting into operation the new plant factory, Prime Minister Vucic stressed that he was very proud, because that factory is "the story of the fight and not giving up".


- "Krusik" returns to the gate of old glory. In the forthcoming period, the number of employees will increase to more than 2000 in a very short time. This is a great success. "Krusik" performs well today; it is financed from its own funds and cooperates with the company Yugoimport-SDPR which exports about 70 percent of goods from this factory. I am proud of the workers I met today, and of all who love this plant and Valjevo. We wish "Krusik" to influence the growth of the Serbian economy and to have impact on strengthening the defence capabilities of the Serbian Armed Forces, because this is very important in the modern world, the Prime Minister said.

Director of "Krusik" Mladen Petkovic said that in that factory of the defence industry, two large investments in the amount of 19.4 million euros were being realised.

- The first investment is related to the construction of the primer plant for which the foundation stone has been laid today. The value of the investment realised in cooperation with the Yugoimport-SDPR company, is 10 million euros. Primers will be produced primarily for the needs of companies from the group of Serbian defence industry. The second investment relates to the construction of the factory for the production of rocket engine chambers. On the location of that facility, where we are now, there was once "Krušik" toolbox which was destroyed during the 1999 bombing. Today, the Prime Minister Vucic put into operation the machine that is the core of the new technology and thus the conditions for mass production of rockets were created. The investment is worth EUR 9.4 million and "Krusik" is financed from its own funds, Petkovic said.


Area of the new facility of the primer plant will be 1,208 square meters. It will produce initial devices for the needs of the Serbian Armed Forces, primers for the shooting ammunition of Boxer type with wet procedure, calibre 4.5 and 5.5 millimetres. The projected production capacity is 400 million pieces per year.

The hall for cold and rotary extrusion extends to 2,929 square meters with complete infrastructure. Production programme of the factory will be rocket engine chambers for missiles: S5, S8, lightning 128 millimetres, blaze, hail, fire and hurricane (chambers up to 600 millimetres and a length of 6,000 millimetres). The production capacity is 35,000 pieces per year.

What about single engine supersonic trainer / fighter ?

Yugoimport said prototype roll out is planned 2016


P1050102.jpg

Just some Yugoimport bullshit. Nobody in Serbia is working on that project, and we certainly don't have a capacity to work on one. Serbian defence industry can stand shoulder to shoulder with a world largest countries in certain areas, but that project is just wishful thinking from some Yugoimport fools. The only way for that plane to fly is for them to take that photoshop picture and throw it from a clif.

Far more realistic would be improving airframe aerodynamics and use of composite materials that could reduce weight by 20 percent for G4 Super Galeb and/or )-22 Orao...

J-22 with those kind of improvements could break mach 1 without afterburners, though it would be smarter to create a new fighter jet between G4 and J-22 in size...
