President Vučić attended the demonstration of the capabilities of the Serbian Army units

 

"The soldiers were extraordinary today. Remarkable, fast, it is an amazing difference from what I have ever seen. We are proud of our army! Congratulations to everyone who participated in today's demonstration, they showed their abilities in an exceptional way. I wish to commend the people from the 72nd Special Brigade particularly as well as the exceptional jump precision of the guys from the 63rd Parachute Brigade", said President Vučić following the demonstration and added that the morale of the members of the Serbian Army is high. 

 

 

President Vučić and Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin also visited the tactical-technical display, where the state-of-the-art equipment of the Serbian Army units was presented, as well as the locally developed equipment. 

 

 

"Today, perhaps more than ever, we could see how far the Serbian army has progressed, how much stronger we are, how much better equipped and trained our soldiers are. You could see the fantastic equipment and training and significant innovations in the Serbian Army," said President Vučić and pointed out that today, for the first time, the robot "Little Miloš" was presented in the action of getting out of the transport helicopter, the robot for retrieving the wounded, the domestic version of the MRAP 6x6 vehicle made by FAP and Zastava TERVO. He emphasised that all those weapons that we make ourselves are the result of local wisdom and know-how, that both Petoletka and Teleoptik manufacture weapons, and pointed out that the state helped the defence industry, which is why we are less and less lag behind the most modern western and eastern systems. 

 

 

"We are not making an army to threaten anyone, but to be able to protect the skies and the ground from any aggressor, if necessary," said President Vučić.
