Yes, we are organizing
0:36
and this event in Belgrade since 2004
0:41
and I can tell you that I'm personally
0:43
very proud that I was one of the
0:47
actually beginner of this uh show 20 21
0:51
years back practically after 20
0:55
We are at much more higher, much more
1:00
bigger, much more important
1:03
show uh which is illustrating the
1:06
growing of Serbian defense industry. We
1:10
can made in recent years a lot large
1:12
efforts and now uh as you know we also
1:16
had a military parade in Saturday of 20
1:19
of of September which is coincidentally
1:22
done on same time and uh we can tell
1:25
that we had made such kind of critical
1:29
or critical weight of development of
1:33
highly developed weapon systems in the
1:37
range and also in the quantities which
1:41
inequalities of course which is going to
1:44
put our country in global player in
1:48
defense industrial potentials. We are
1:52
practically became global player in
1:54
artillery. For example, with development
1:57
of Nora B-52 NG weapon which is a very
2:02
very competitive with most important
2:05
western practically the the system of
2:07
this category and also the global player
2:11
in ammunition. For example, speak about
2:13
wide range of ammunition from medium
2:16
from the small arms ammunition, medium
2:18
calibers, artillery, mortar shells,
2:20
rocket ammunition with the range both
2:24
Russian and western standards in
2:26
calibers and also with capacities which
2:29
is globally very important for many many
2:33
clients all over the world. We are
2:35
neutral country with four column of
2:38
global power. Speaking about EU like one
2:42
column, United States but also China and
2:45
Russia. We are practically uh the using
2:48
of complex weapon systems in our armed
2:50
forces made in those four columns. From
2:54
this reason you can see here uh the
2:57
pavilion national pavilion of China
2:58
which is practically at the same level
3:02
of uh practically the marketing
3:04
promotional the effectiveness as like in
3:07
the all other bigger global shows in the
3:10
in the world also the French is also of
3:15
course existing with particularly the
3:17
Rafal actually system also but also they
3:20
are the other countries targeting or
3:22
already presented in in Serbia like also
3:25
Russians and something like that. In
3:26
this big hall one we are presenting the
3:30
new products particularly products from
3:33
development programs but also from uh
3:36
programs which have been already in some
3:38
kind of low rate or full rate production
3:41
for our armed forces. those system
3:43
belonging to the product production
3:44
programs of Yugo import and VTI Minist
3:48
technical institute of civilian armed
3:49
forces which has their own production
3:52
development programs and we are
3:54
participating together. This mortar 203
3:58
is one ingenious program which is
4:02
prospective and interesting of course
4:04
with the huge firepower with 100 kilos
4:08
weight and 30 kilos explosive and
4:10
reaching the those ranges with very
4:12
powerful grenade with high particularly
4:15
high demolition effect and fire
4:16
fragmentation effect. It is based on
4:19
ingenious development of the technical
4:21
institute. Also we have seen uh very
4:24
close to this mortar a smaller uh 155
4:28
weapon and this weapon is looking like
4:31
more than similar clay Caesar or Atmos
4:34
according to to comp to to to concept
4:37
also made recently in BTI and you can
4:41
see the our Nora in practically three
4:44
different weapons. One of those is
4:46
Alexander Nora. It is something which
4:48
has been demonstrated first time few
4:51
years back. It is something which we are
4:53
developing but relatively actually
4:55
slowly. You have seen the Nora standard
4:58
Nora M15 with 12 rounds ready for fire
5:01
in concept which has been developed in
5:03
the early 2000 uh with FAP domestic
5:06
chassis of Serbian origin. It is the
5:09
different difference and this system we
5:12
are using in our armed forces for many
5:14
years. But also the new generation Nora
5:16
which has been uh practically unveiled
5:18
in 2023 now is very close to the
5:22
entering in in Syria production. And you
5:25
also have seen outside of actually the
5:28
desert yellow colored the weapon force a
5:31
basian armed forces which is also in
5:34
based on same design but in tatra chess
5:37
is in this one is matra in man chesses.
5:40
This one with threat rounds ready for
5:42
fire. The nor is flagship of the our
5:44
yugo import program and even defense
5:46
because it is something which we really
5:49
uh use. So we use this this word 2015
5:52
that we enter in the global players in
5:55
artillery fully competitive against
5:58
practically any leading western western
6:01
producers which because it is very high
6:03
step beyond for relatively small country
6:05
as like Serbia is. Uh also you will see
6:08
here in the exhibition some premieres.
6:11
For example, we would like to uh tell
6:13
our uh range of vehicles. You can import
6:15
4x4 Milos, 4x4 mil 2, Lazard 3, Lazar 3M
6:22
with turret with different you can see
6:24
the different concept and also the Lazar
6:27
3K command vehicle premierly showed
6:30
here. And finally uh our new and very
6:35
interesting program Alexander Unifier.
6:38
It is a 4x4 vehicle of 7 tons weight
6:42
total weight which is based on modified
6:46
HV chassis with slightly different
6:49
modified of of actually the chassis
6:52
which can accept our new anti-tank mine
6:56
protection with level 2 A2B according to
6:58
NATO standard 4569. It is much more
7:02
comfortable with bigger space inside.
7:05
And this family of vehicle has been
7:06
premierly shown in our military parade.
7:08
And also we have the other version the
7:10
cargo version with the Raven loitering
7:14
weapon integrated outside. Also we we
7:17
also have planned to put on this this
7:19
pickup also the mortar or multiple
7:21
launch rocket systems and the other
7:23
weapon systems and also operational
7:25
observation system etc. It is the new
7:28
member of our vehicle vehicle actually
7:31
the the range which we are you
7:33
importate. We are following this
7:36
philosophy of drones also we have drone
7:39
bombers including the those airdrop
7:42
mortar shells with our own disenously
7:44
developed uses. We have also uh the
7:48
drones meeting FPVS or or direct oneway
7:52
factors, bombay drones and finally the
7:55
loitering ammunition particularly
7:57
representing with domestic developed
8:00
Serbian Serbian domestic and yugo for
8:02
domestic raven raven system. Raven
8:06
system we have integrated in this
8:09
Alexander unifier the the chassis with
8:11
eight launchers container also with man
8:14
chassis with 27 containers and command
8:18
also the vehicle providing for ability
8:20
for launching of 27 or to eight eight
8:23
actually drones operator is launching it
8:26
by by small rocket motor
8:29
the the man mission is is flying by
8:33
electric motor reaching the height about
8:36
500 to to 2,000 mters and going by
8:40
programmable trajectory up to dig
8:43
digital map. The other operator uh is
8:47
controlling his the camera infrared
8:49
camera. Uh he's independently
8:52
uh trying to find the target and the
8:55
camera is enough good infrared camera to
8:58
recognize targets like for example 4x4
9:00
vehicle, artillery systems etc. After
9:03
after actually identifying on target the
9:06
operator is making lock on and
9:07
destroying target directly directly up
9:10
to range of 120 km in area of let's say
9:14
one way or even less for example 50 km
9:18
when we have about 30 minutes of of
9:21
loitering around the area it is
9:23
practically giving fantastic abilities
9:25
for for for for battlefield versatility
9:28
it is very good we are defense industry
9:32
also has uh have uh the the high
9:35
tradition in the area of multiple launch
9:38
rocket systems. uh started with M63 to
9:42
weapon in caliber 128 short range 8.5
9:45
kilometers made in early 60s after that
9:50
M77
9:51
with range of 20 km with similar like
9:54
gratit rockets which is still on our
9:56
forces of Serbia in other countries
9:57
probably now we are developing during
10:00
the recent recent years and producing
10:03
the several new weapons but now on this
10:06
exhibition we are we are promoting
10:08
practically Three types of of those
10:10
systems. First is a modular organ
10:13
modular system based on cali 128 in
10:16
containers can also launch of course 122
10:20
in same containers with platform. It is
10:23
the Alice missile system at right hand
10:26
side and the left side is is 12 launcher
10:30
of 128 mm non-guided rocket can launch
10:33
allas missile system range 25 km with of
10:36
course fiber optic guidance etc. We also
10:38
have as you can see here uh a Tamnava
10:41
modular modular rocket launcher uh with
10:45
two basic rockets in pods. First is 122
10:49
mm grad rocket with range of 20 or 40 km
10:53
depending of types of rockets 96 totally
10:56
or let's say four containers by by 24 48
11:00
ready for fire and platform and
11:02
additional 48 ready for ready for
11:04
reloading by crane. Also the weapon has
11:07
additional weapon. It is 26 62 mm rocket
11:12
range 70 km non-guided rocket with
11:15
development of some guided rockets. that
11:17
even this non-guided rocket just
11:19
entering production with 12 rockets 262
11:22
caliber with range of 70 km with this
11:24
guided rocket after development weapon
11:27
will be double firepower as like for
11:30
example highr which has six rounds ready
11:33
for fire or something like but any case
11:35
it is the huge full size 8 by8 also you
11:38
can see here the models of guided
11:40
rockets and non-guided rockets in 70 km
11:42
range and 50 km range depending of types
11:44
of of of work etc but also So we have
11:47
seen the huge rocket. It is caliber 400
11:49
mm and range 300 km. It is still in
11:54
development for a long time. But it is
11:56
belonging to the other weapon belonging
11:58
to this weapon the modular weapon
12:00
calling shumadia with four rockets by
12:03
400 mm in this but also today uh this
12:07
even first time first time we published
12:10
another weapon for this modular rocket
12:12
launcher uh instead of of of left
12:16
container with two rockets for 100 mm we
12:19
put one big container uh for the our
12:23
development program of
12:26
heavy loitering ammunition with range of
12:30
300 kilometers according to the to the
12:32
of course international regulations.
12:33
Those two chassis has been has been uh
12:37
made many many years back uh in our
12:40
prototype based on previously of course
12:43
uh by the kamas chassis but now we are
12:46
practically passing from kamas to the
12:48
man chassis and tatra chess for every
12:50
platform. I would like to tell that it
12:52
is something interesting. It is the
12:54
modular big modular weapon with
12:57
ballistic actually rockets guided rocket
13:00
400 mm or cruise missile. You can see
13:03
here from this from this position the
13:05
this combat set. You can see better from
13:07
this position two 400 mm lockets
13:10
launchers or one one one big you can
13:14
cruise missile cruise missile or
13:15
something like that. We have one the
13:18
program it is program of PTI not import
13:21
it is program of based on isu
13:25
calling it osit on Serbian language
13:29
better translation English isp it is a
13:32
hunter killer philosophy similar like in
13:35
Russian Russian the the lancet system
13:37
the sparrow is flying around the target
13:39
area with the camera practically
13:42
scanning the area of target area and
13:44
when operating operator is can see the
13:46
target. It is giving the position of
13:49
target to the operator and operator is
13:52
launching uh the the the wasp or hornet.
13:55
Okay. So that operator can just make
13:58
some adjustment of of the target
14:01
targeting because launching in the in
14:03
direction of already predicted targets
14:06
practically designated by vasparero. It
14:09
is very important in in the core. M84
14:12
was upgraded T72 and our engineers
14:17
engineers can had can make upgrade of
14:19
this tank and make M84 design with new
14:25
uh integrated day at night site and also
14:27
had made later the new power pack with
14:31
100 horsepower. It is idea was to make
14:34
tank which has already modernized T72.
14:38
Now we are making um the high upgrade of
14:41
the of this design with integration of
14:44
new explosive active armor. Also making
14:47
the new remote control weapon station
14:50
and the other situation awareness system
14:53
like cameras for 360 degrees and
14:57
integration with with C4 with actually
14:59
C4i system. Also M84
15:02
uh AS3 is featuring with the prototype
15:06
of active protection which is our own
15:09
ingenuously ingenously designed active
15:11
protection system AS3. It is also based
15:14
on some uh integration of some new
15:17
ammunition like for example the shrapnel
15:19
type of ammunition with airbrust air
15:22
burst actually the the fuse with still
15:25
both increasing fragmentation effect
15:27
above target with new APF SDS ammunition
15:31
genously developed also for this tank
15:34
and the other the other features which
15:36
is of course optionally done. we can put
15:38
or something like panoramic op
15:40
electronic site in some it is something
15:42
like options but you have seen this in
15:45
the conclation which has been already
15:47
put I just would like to add sorry for
15:50
that I didn't mention that we also
15:52
producing the aircraft uh like lasta
15:56
basic trainer uh with also development
16:00
of new turborop uh alasta which is also
16:04
basic trainer with high performances and
16:06
with some limit limited counter in
16:08
emergency abilities including carrying
16:11
of such kind of some some kind of not
16:13
only machine gun or non-guided rockets
16:16
and bombs but also guided weapons and
16:19
also we are producing the soa mean all
16:23
the selected trainer utility aircraft
16:25
also with variety of concepts also
16:27
producing some bigger UAVs the wing type
16:31
actually the fixed wing type UAVs
16:34
including the Pegasus UAV etc something
16:36
like that Our message is that Serbia
16:39
became
16:40
global player in many areas of defense
16:43
industry which is much exceeding the
16:47
average economical and demographical
16:50
basic picture of Serbia at like a small
16:53
country in in the Balkans in the west in
16:55
the east Europe still neutral country
16:57
would like to be the of course the free
17:00
to to get to keep the friendly friendly
17:03
relationship with all countries around
17:05
on the all countries in the world to be
17:08
neutral any conflict to not support any
17:11
country in the conflict directly or
17:12
something like that. Uh the peace is
17:14
something which something which we can
17:17
reach uh more with arming uh than with
17:22
disarming.
17:23
Thank you so much Alexander.
17:25
Thank you.
