The armed forces of Serbia ( Serbian : Војска Србије / Vojska Srbije ) (abbreviated: ВС / VS ) emerged from the armed forces of Serbia-Montenegro , which ceased to exist due to the independence referendum of Montenegro . In accordance with the treaty that established the State Union in 2003, Serbia received the common Ministry of Defense, as confirmed by a decree of the Serbian Parliament on June 5th. The funds and facilities awarded to Montenegro were incorporated into the newly established armed forces of Montenegro .

The basic duties of the military include:

  • Defense of Serbia from armed foreign threats
  • Participation in the process of building and peace in the region and in the world
  • Assistance in the event of natural and other disasters

Since 2009 the army has been converted into a professional army . On December 31, 2010, conscription ended in Serbia. Serbia is militarily non-aligned.

Current situation of the Navy

Because Serbia was the larger part of the State Union , it kept most of the army and air force . With the fall of Montenegro, Serbia became a landlocked country . The only area of ​​application for a navy would be the Danube . No decision has yet been made about the future of a larger Serbian Navy. A river fleet is already in place.

Modernization plans

The modernization plans of the Serbian Armed Forces currently include a. the renewal of the transport fleet by purchasing new trucks of the type FAP -1118, FAP-3240 and ZK NTV, the purchase of wheeled armored vehicles and unmanned reconnaissance drones of the type Vrabac and Pegaz, the replacement of recoilless guns by the anti-tank guided weapon Bumbar as well as new combat aircraft, transport helicopters . The procurement of new modular multiple rocket launchers of the LVRSM type and upgrading the combat value of the M-84 main battle tanks to the M-2001 version are also being considered.

As part of the modernization of the armed forces, Serbia bought two Mi-17 transport helicopters in 2016 . Another two Mi-17 machines, six H145Ms and four Mi-35M attack helicopters followed in 2019 . The first H145M was handed over to the Air Force in June and two more in November 2019 . In December, the Air Force received four Mi-35M machines from Russia.

The armed forces of Serbia thus received their first deliveries of modern weapons systems in 36 years.

At the end of February 2020, the first tranche of the short-range anti-aircraft missile system 96K6 Panzir was delivered from Russia. By the end of 2020, Serbia should receive a total of six of these modern defense systems.
