@proka89 - Whats up Brother ?

A question - Do you think that the Serbian Defense Industry has been better off or worse off since breaking away from the Soviet Union & the larger Soviet Defense Industry that came with that Union ?

We were never part of Soviet union. For the large part of Yugoslavia existence, we were preparing for the war with the Soviets Yugoslav defence industry did buy some license from the Soviet union (malyutka, strela 2m, T72..), but we were never part of Soviet defence industry.

Tito–Stalin split - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yugoslav defence industry was one of the largest in the Europe. But production of complex systems was divided between the republics. For example around 300 hundred companies from around Yugoslavia participated in production of M84 MBT. And today many of those companies do not exist, or they are producing something else. And none of the countries individually or all of them together would not be able to make M84 today. Also many of the companies from defence industry were destroyed or damaged during the wars in Yugoslavia. So basically all of the Former Yugoslav republics today export military equipment worth around 500 million of dollars, and in the 80's Yugoslav defence industry was exporting military equipment worth around 1.3 billion of dollars per year.

Oh sh*t I forgot - Yeah you guys were part of Yugoslavia !

So does anyone miss being part of Yugoslavia ? Does anyone think 'wouldn't it have been great if it had worked out', if the forces within & with-out didn't try to so hard to disintegrate Yugoslavia perhaps we could've been a force to be reckoned with - Who knows maybe even after going through Trade Liberalization as some other countries our rise could've been more profound than that of India, Brazil, Turkiye, Indonesia etc. - Perhaps even a couple of them combined ?

Even Serbian small arms are popular in the market just because of their robust features ....Though their finishing is never good...thanks to the Russians influence but they work fine...!

There are a lot of people that are Yugo nostalgic. After the breakup, and all the wars in the 90's, almost all ex YU republics ended up exhausted and poor. After that we had transition to capitalism. And a result is that industry is almost destroyed, we got few extra rich, and bunch of poor people, and living standard is not even close to that what we had in Yugoslavia. So yes there is a lot of people who are asking themselves why the **** did we screw up that country.

Few more pics of "Palanca Negra". There are informations that Angola is potential buyer of this APC.

This only a functional model made for basic testing.
