This wireless controlled robot can be remotely operated from up to 500 meters away and is designed to defend areas against main battle tank assault. The shown weaponry are two M79 90mm reloadable rocket launchers, but there are other options available. (www.vti.mod.gov.rs)

Prva Petoletka had a large display within the YugoImport area and two items stood out as very interesting.

There were two variants of the 40mm, one for longer cartridges and one for shorter HE type cartridges only. The other was a lightweight 120mm mortar. (www.ppt-namenska.co.yu)

Some of the finest munitions from 20mm to 155mm come from the Serbian manufacturing facility Sloboda. Long time readers of SADJ will remember articles we have done on their products. Their grenades for 40mm underbarrel Russian style, and the 40x46mm M203 style, as well as 30mm rounds for the AGS-17/BGA-30 are well known in the combat theatres. (www.sloboda.co.rs)
