New pulling trains and modernization for the Serbian Armed Forces 0405154.

Knowing that the oldest pulling train in SAF was procured in 1967, and the youngest one in 1982, then it is clear that modernization in this sector is very important for us – Gasic said, adding that the investment is worth over 140 million dinars. Minister announced a procurement of another three pulling trains planned in early 2016.
He said that he was glad that SAF would take over 10 new FAP trucks by the end of May, which would provide new support of the military to national industry, stressing that the defence system had had great cooperation with this company for years.

When it comes to the equipment and modernization of mechanized units, Minister reminded that modernization of M-84 tank was already under way, and that substantial means had been allocated for the purpose. He stressed that a large portion of production had been started in many factories of special purpose industry, and that significant means had been allocated for the modernization of G-4 aircraft this year as well.

Minister was presented with the replica of truck keys by General Director of MAN Importer Serbia Srdjan Pezo, who stressed that the vehicles delivered to the Armed Forces were the last generation of vehicles in this company and that they were in the rank of pulling trains of most contemporary armed forces in the world.
