Armaments from the Development & Production of Yugoimport-SDPR Shown at the Military Parade
Marching past as part of the Special Unit Sub-echelon were the multi-purpose all-terrain vehicles with high cross-country ability, among which there was the armored fighting vehicle “Milosh”.
-
The 4x4 Armored Fighting Vehicle “Miloš” is intended for usage in patrols or special operations, as a command, reconnaissance or anti-tank vehicle. The crew consists of eight soldiers. It is armed with a remotely controlled weapon station (RCWS) with advanced optics for day and night operations and a 12.7 mm machine gun, but can use other weapons as well. It is powered by a 220 Kw diesel engine, and develops a maximum speed of up to 110 km/h.
The First Sub-Echelon of Infantry units comprised multi-purpose armored fighting vehicles “Lazar 3K”, “Lazar 3M”, and “Lazar 3”.
-
The 8x8 Multi-Purpose Infantry Fighting Vehicles “Lazar 3K”, “Lazar 3M”, and “Lazar 3” are intended for infantry and special forces units. In addition to high mobility, they have a high level of ballistic and mine protection with modular additional armor. They can be equipped with various types of weapons, from a 12.7 mm RCWS, to a 30 mm gun turret, depending on the version.
The Sub-Echelon of Artillery Units comprises 155 mm self-propelled gun-howitzers NORA-B52 M15.
-
155 mm SP GH NORA-B52 M15 is a self-propelled artillery weapon designed to provide fire support to friendly units, opening powerful, sudden, and rapid fire on targets of tactical, operational, and strategic importance at long distances. The crew consists of five soldiers. It is armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun M87, and smoke pot launchers.
The maximum firing range is 41 km.
The Sub-Echelon of Military Assets Currently Under Development included a number of military assets produced by development sector of Yugoimport-SDPR:
Presented for the first time at this parade were the “Alexander the Unifier” 4x4 armored vehicles.
-
„The name “Alexander the Unifier” stands for the family of 4x4 multi-purpose tactical armored vehicles intended to perform a wide range of tactical tasks in the domains of internal security and military operations.
The vehicles can be used in conflicts of various levels of intensity, from the typically low-level intensity conflicts – asymmetrical warfare, anti-terrorist and anti-guerrilla operations, to different categories of medium- and high-level intensity conflicts.
The idea behind the concept is based on integration of various configurations of armored hull superstructure with a universal 4x4 chassis and independent suspension system featuring high payload capacity, and high off-road mobility. The vehicle can be furnished with various equipment and armaments, to fit the main mission or the intended purpose.
Depending on the superstructure configuration, the vehicle may be intended for:
high-risk or ambush patrols; observation, surveillance and territory control operations; transport and fire support for special operations units; anti-tank and short-range air defense; integration of weapon systems based on loitering munitions, artillery and suspended missile fire support systems, artillery fire control, etc.

Multirole armoured tactical vehicle 4x4 MILOSH 2 and MILOSH 2 with "Nova" system
The armoured multi-purpose combat vehicle, with 4x4 drive – Milosh belongs to the category of modern armoured vehicles intended for the performance of wide range of missions in the activities of police and armed forces. The main concept of the vehicle is based on a self-supporting hull, modern drive and transmission assemblies and an independent suspension system which ensures high mobility in any terrain and weather conditions with the maximum combat weight exceeding 18 tons.
The vehicle can be used for: patrol missions, reconnaissance missions, as a command vehicle, for transportation and support to the units for special operations, in anti-guerrilla, anti-terrorism and anti-tank operations, for the border and territory control, etc.

Infantry Fighting Vehicle “Lazanski”
The 8x8 IFV “Lazanski” is the most sophisticated and modern heavy armored vehicle developed by Yugoimport-SDPR. The integration of high-quality, world-class components, special materials and advanced technologies has resulted in development of a vehicle capable of competing with top global manufacturers.
The suspension and transmission systems (specifically developed for the “Lazanski” 8x8 vehicle), combined with the adjustable ride height (ground clearance control), provide optimal conditions for enhancing ballistic protection up to Level 5 and Level 6, with high payload capacity to support a heavy RCWS or turrets (enabling integration of the highest-caliber weapon stations).

Self-Propelled Gun-Howitzer 155 mm NORA-B52 NG
This state-of-the-art artillery weapon of the Serbian defense industry is the most powerful, fully automated fire support artillery system of 155 mm caliber, with a high level autonomy. The weapon is constructed by integrating a 155 mm weapon module onto an 8x8 chassis. The weapon module is operated from inside the vehicle cabin and, by its characteristics, can be considered a 155 mm RCWS.
The weapon is contructed by using a 155 mm barrel assembly made through the auto-frettage process, in conformance with the Joint Ballistic Memorandum of Understanding. The barrel is 52 calibers long, with a 23-liter gun powder chamber. The key component of the weapon module is a fully automated loader with 30 projectiles and propelland charges, featuring the rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute. An additional 6 rounds are stored on the automatic loading platform, making the total combat set of 36 rounds.

Self-Propelled Artillery Weapon 155 mm/52 „Аlexandar”
The concept of the SP GH 155 mm/52 „Аlexandar” is based on a qualitatively new automatic loading system. The weapon is developed by mounting a 155 mm armament module onto an 8x8 chassis. The module is operated from within the vehicle cabin. It consists of a 155 mm barrel assembly with a 23-liter chamber. The key component of the armament module is a fully automated loader with 12 projectiles and propellant charges. Loading is enabled in all elevations, and a firing rate of up to 6 rounds per minute has been achieved. Additionally, the platform features an automated resupply unit with another 12 rounds, making a total combat set of 24 rounds, with no crew involvement requirement.

Self-Propelled Modular Multiple Launch Rocket System – 122/262 mm MLRS „Тamnava“
The SP MLRS 122/262 mm „Тamnava“ is designed as a modular system. A key feature of its modularity is the ability to use launch containers armed with 262 mm rockets and all variants of 122 mm rockets. “Tamnava” is a fully automated MLRS, with a modern FCS and automated line of aim, equipped with INS, and AEG - automated electronic goniometer device for automatic alignment of the launcher with the main direction, a meteorological sensor, radio equipment for data and voice transmission TCP/IP UDP, as well as a modern ballistic module, allowing it to operate fully autonomously and execute pre-programmed combat missions. The system features an integrated electronic trigger for single and burst fire, along with real-time information on rocket types loaded on the launcher and the status of launch tubes, enabling mission and logistics planning at both commander and higher command levels.
The standard configuration includes reusable 122 mm launch containers, with the option to use single0use 122 mm launch containers as well. Loading and unloading of the launcher system is performed using a crane mounted on the platform. The system has a range of 70 km with 262 mm rockets, and 40 km and 20 km with 122 mm rockets.
Long- Range Self-Propelled Modular Multiple Launch Rocket System “Šumadija”
The long-range modular SP MLRS “Šumadija” is a weapon intended to engage the enemy’s crucial ground pinpoint targets, including the time-sensitive targets (thanks to a critical response time), such as ground-to-ground rocket systems, air-defense systems, airports, helipads, gathering areas, army bases, training camps, logistic centers, ports, force closure, and crucial objects of military infrastructure, command centers, communication centers etc.
Acting as a fire support system, the modular MLRS “Šumadija” is produced in two configurations: 1 container with 2 ballistic long-range rockets (300 km), cal. 400 mm with 250 kg warhead - “Jerina”, and 1 container for a long-range (300 km) heavy loitering munition with a 450 kg warhead - “Vila 1”, which is launched to cruise above the target zone (until a target is designated, and then crashes into it).
