Serbia’s President Vucic inaugurates assembly factory for Israel-made drones
The plant will employ about 100 workers and produce state-of-the-art drones for Serbia’s military, Vucic said.
- On Thursday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic inaugurated a new assembly factory for Israel-made drones in Belgrade, aiming to boost the country's military capabilities.
- State arms producer Yugoimport SDPR and Israel's Elbit Systems jointly operate the facility, which Vucic announced in April would produce combat drones domestically.
- About 100 employees will produce "the most modern equipment" for Serbian and foreign forces; warheads will be manufactured at Serbia's Krusik weapons factory.
- Citing the "confidentiality of the production process," Vucic stated plans are "huge," with his administration intending to open at least three more factories across the Balkan nation with Israeli partners.
- This expansion follows Serbia's 2024 purchase of 12 French-made Rafale jets, as the government strengthens its military while maintaining ties with China and Russia alongside European Union aspirations.
