Rising From The Ashes | Modern AFV's of Serbia
After the collapse of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, the new Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was born. This Yugoslavia was, in essence, a union between two countries, Serbia and Montenegro. In 2006, both countries became independent after a referendum held in Montenegro. The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia officially created the Army of Serbia on 8th June 2006. This led to the creation of the independent Serbian Army, which essentially got as its inheritance the majority of the remaining military equipment and weapons from Yugoslavia, but also some newer projects that were in process of development.

Patsier S-1E was not donated, Serbia bought 3 batteries of this system, 18 units.
6 units so far and fk3 mid range

Funny thing about the Humvees: there are a few anecdotes making the rounds about how they keep getting stuck in mud (especially in certain border areas) and then need to be rescued by the mighty Lada Niva.
hahahahahahahah , russian help USA Technics hihiihhihihihi!!!
Humvees are like from cartoons,lada is Kalashnikov on for weels.
Holy crap, you managed to pronounce almost all the Serbian words correctly! Well done, lad!
He really didn't... But he tried and that's what counts ❤❤
Congrats on an excellent video, but I would have to say that the biggest flaw of these vehicles is simply the Serbian military budget which means that many of these vehicles are left in prototype phases for decades. This is of course pretty sad considering that many of these are indeed on par with most globally acclaimed afvs
They would be some of the best in Europe, just the Serbians don't have enough money to simply afford completing them, they got bombed the shit out of in '99, They didn't even complete the "Vihor" properly and it would've been easily better than early phase Armata, like FAR better
video is fantastic, you really do detailed job. Tho there was a couple of mistakes such as, Pantzir was purchased it wasnt a donation and Praga is still in use but armed police battalions are using it. Other than that everything is perfect bravo
Yeah, cool video! 3:07 is ROSU, with their "Tiger" not our SF

This is the most complete analysis of the Serbian Army that I have seen so far, very well. It would be good if you showed Serbia on a map so that those who don't know can see where Serbia is and how big it is, it was a very nice map of the former Yugoslavia with countryballs. P.S. The self-propelled howitzer Nora is read as a female name, although it is an acronym for New Artillery Weapon, the SORA project and SOKO were neglected for the development of Nora. Is that voice in the Google video translator? And it would be nice if you played some recordings from the military exercises of our army in the background, for example, there are good recordings for artillery.
Thank you for this video. We, Serbs, hope never to find ourselves in a situation to use those arms. Giving our geographic positing and the fact that we were attacked many times throughout our long history, it is good to have a strong army, no matter how small we are! We have never measured how mighty our enemy is, but how sacred the defence of our motherland is.
Samo napred braco! Pozz iz Makedonije!
Great video! Thanks for covering this topic.
Very intelligently made video, hope to see more in the future
You made really good research! Thanks for the video!!
So much effort for correct pronouncing names of systems, congrats boys, great work and presentation!
Serbia really did rise from the ashes. I am still mad about Zastava's fate tho. Cheers from North Macedonia
Everyone in my country is.
@@liberator101 Zastava is still a going concern, no? I enjoy my bolt-action M85 sporter rifle in .223Rem, bought well before the creation of ZastavaArmsUSA in Des Plains, Iowa in 2019. I understood Zastava manufactures most small arms, mortars and such for the Serbian army.
Yes, Zastava is still working 👍🏻
The car company that was bought by Fiat or something else?
@@gamps2771 Zastava Arms is still intact, but Zastava Automobiles went bankrupt and was bought out by Fiat. Zastava Arms is also pretty heavily in debt and might be re-nationalized by the Serbian government. The government actually announced that 8 years ago, but haven't followed through on it yet.
Awesome video man thank you!
Serbian army is in it's golden age in terms of modernisation and buying new equipment. Even now it is not the same army it used to be 5 years ago, and we are only at the half of the way. We are going to buy a lot of very capable weapon systems, and we are also developing so many our own. It is not an easy job because west is trying to stop everything we buy or make, so we have to "make manuevers" and play very smart.
we still have more then 90% military equipment from Yugoslavia, slow down in order serbia to enter as you said " golden age in terms of modernisation and buying new equipment" we would need probably around 3-5 billion dollars every year for the next 5 years which is insane amount of money for us.......
@@fpsserbia6570 Well since the m84 we havent made any modernization plans as big as this one
We are lacking serious money, 1 billion a year for defense is nothing.

Thanks for the video, solidly comprehensive and fairly good pronanciation, probably beter then most foreigners. At 14:40 you wrote "Planen" but it should be "Plamen" (Flame in english).
Fantastic video! Also an update, the FK-3 was finally delivered, so now the Air Force has something better that S125 Nevas or KUBs, I think that 4 batteries were ordered.
2000's were tough times for the Serbian military, our government destroyed much more of the army than NATO during the bombing in 1999 P. S. Great video man, nice analysis
Armour losses in 99 were small. Lost more in peace after.
The Bov where also used in the Yugoslav wars in the 90’s where the most common version was the anti aircraft version with 3 20mm zastava m55 auto cannons
good video, nicely presented and relaxing
Very interesting video, very summarised and informative
I think this could be part for a series of videos talking about modern tank developments around the world. Excelent video and definitely subscribing for more! Saludos desde Argentina! 🇦🇷

Serbia bought 2 Chinese Anti-aircraft defense system HQ-22, and Serbia get 3rd HQ-22 as gift because Serbia is first country to buy this Chinese anti-aircraft defense system. It was not propaganda, Serbia pay it last year, it was supposed to arrive last year, but was postponed for this year due to the Corona virus pandemic.
FK-3
Pantsirs have been purchased, they are not a donation. Also, there is NORA BK 1 Perun, the newest derivation of NORA, It is way better than older NORA.

The moment you learn from non Serbian about your own military. Good video man.
Informative video. Got recommended to me just now so I prepared to post a comment with some nitpick thinking it was new then saw the date when this video was originally posted ;). Chinese FK-3 system mentioned here later trully did enter service, during april of 2022.
The Humvees you showcase at 2:03 were purchased in the 90s for the Serbian spec ops unit Jedinica za Specijalne Operacije / Special Operations Unit or more famously known as Crvene Beretke / Red Berets, better yet, if anybody donated these vehicles it was Slobodan Milosevic, lol.
Thank you, for the detailed breakdown. Very useful for people to see, and hopefully we are looking for more modernized Serbian military in the future. You should also focus on infantry and Serbian modern arms, as they are currently a main focus of modernization. Great vid!❤😎
Some of these I remember from the game Wargame Red Dragon, Yugoslavia comes as a DLC pack, and they got some visually outlandish unit choices as you can expect. It’s pretty cool.
LOL Never heard of That. What is the exact Name of That Game ? 😍😍😍

Fk3 is already bought, and its deliver is ongoing. M94 is PlaMen (M not N, plamen translates as flame in english). M87 Orkan, was based on Soviet Smerch.

3:07 Those are NOT Serbian forces. Those are ex KLA soldiers, who are now the "special" police of the so called Republic of Kosovo, also know as Kosovo and Metohija by it's real name. Name of that unit is ROSU. Quite an insult to the Serbian forces to compare them with these guys actually.

Смрдљиве ћивше
Really surprised, and a tad disappointed that you guys didn't mention the new "Serbian Armata" prototype tank that Serbian is developing, the М-20UP-1 which is the first 100% ingenuously designed tank in Serbia since all other projects were based on Russian designs. The М-20UP-1 looks to be a huge leap forward in capability, but will come at a heavy price, and will need a substantial export order to have any chance at production.
There's also the second prototype of the M-84 modernization, the M-84AS2, which seems to have a different gunner sight to the M-84AS1.
It wont ever happen.
@@gaja9092 It only takes one rich nation, like Kuwait ordering 250 M-84's back in the 90's. With the amount of development happening in the Middle-East, Africa, and SE Asia, it's not hard to imagine. Iraq has developed strong relations with Serbia in terms of weapons procurement, and a project like the M-20UP-1, to outfit both nations with a top tier MBT, would not seem far fetched, as one example.
@@CH3TN1K313 hmmm fair enough but i still feel its unlikely.
@@gaja9092 This is going to age poorly, now that Serbian military equipment feels like a much more realistic option to buy for former Russian customers because of the fear of sanctions
As Serbian and person who know about this stuff, our best army vehicles are: VIU-55 M16 Milosh Lazar 3 FAP-2026, FAP-2228 and project FAP-3240 There are rocket and artilery sistems like: Morava M77 Oganj M84 Orkan Nora B2
You forgot Tamnava and Sumadija
Nije m84 nego m87 orkan
I VIU 55 je inzinjerijsko vozilo koje je opremljeno sa naoružanjem i prostorom za par vojnika
Very interesting
3:09 u got it a lil mixed up there buddy, but it's ok
One small correction, NORA has a 155mm cannon not 152mm. Otherwise great video
Actually, i serve on Nora152 mm Not sure when they started making a new barow in NATO 155 mm.
Great video, but i found one mistake... at 3:09, part of video showing Serbian Armed Police, that is not Serbian police, rather Kosovo Rosu
At 03:06 its not the serbian military or police its the fsk or kosovan police and there arent any serbian military or police personel in kosovo . Btw good video.❤
Surplus AFVS are good enough for urban combat.
The image titled "Serbian Armed Police, operating in Kosovo. ABC News" actually shows the police of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, not the Serbian police or military police.

We made a lot of very stupid prototypes of various things and none of them entered production (because they were bad ideas in the first place like modernizing the T-55)
Does Serbia operates any Btr 60/70/80 or has Lazar 3 replaced them
Serbia never did. There were some left over at Macedonia and Bosnia, but Serbia got away with Romanian TAB licensed BTR's that were complete shit, they were used by the police in the early 90s and then retired.
@@UpfulWarrior Thank you/ Hvala buraz
It used to operate around 60 BTR-60 but the number of operational BTR decreased over the years I believe now are only 10 operation if they didn't remove them from service completely
@@user-ey4nx6co1x The rest of the BTRs are in reserve and the active BTRs are command vehicles just like the MT-LB

It's not wish of Serbian General Staff it was order from NATO to only have 4 Brigades ! It was over 850 T 55 in 2006

Very interesting, aspecially the phisics and the maths, for gods sake!
A warrior people who always defended themselves. Everyone from the former Yugoslavia got a state thanks to the Serbs. And they knew how to thank the persecutions and massacres of children and other unarmed civilians while hiding behind great powers. Serbs, the only nation-building nation in this part of Europe, are always on the right side of history, warm-hearted and justice-loving, even to their own detriment.
PANCIR is not donation and this video need serious update.
Update this video, Serbia got that Chinese system.
Nora is pronounced as Norah.
Like Dorra the Explorer.. Only ours is Nora the Destroyer
..to be more precise.. history of Serbia, its Army, army industry DOES NOT BEGINS with Yugoslavia or after Yugoslavia, like someone would think after seeing this video. SERBIA is INDEPENDENT state from 1878, its Army and army industry is even older (e.g. Zastava Arms 1851.) Serbia was the major factor in making of Yugoslavia (1st and 2nd) state for 'South Slavs' and so long..
Yes, but those topics are for other videos. We already have a full article on WW2 era Yugoslavia (1918-1945) and will have at least one more for the Cold War. As for the first part of the Modern Era, that one is a bit complicated, so it will be a while before we dip our toes into that mess.
