According to the report, Miloradovi said: "Serbia will purchase combat drones, which will have reconnaissance capabilities to detect targets at night and also launch laser-guided bombs and missiles." He pointed out that the Serbian army is still There is no such capability, but many countries around it already have similar complex systems.

He said that the current discussion with China is a package of procurement and introduction programs, and is close to reaching an agreement. In this procurement plan, including industrial manufacturing equipment procurement and handover related technologies.

Miloradovi said that the technology transferred will include related technologies on how to integrate complex systems into drones. These drones will be produced by Serbia and will be installed in China's photoelectric reconnaissance system. In this way, he explained that these drones can perform three of the following four tasks simultaneously – including monitoring the battlefield at night, providing corrected shooting information for the artillery, guiding laser-guided munitions from other weapons, or directly emitting laser guidance. Bomb or missile.

It is reported that Serbia will purchase two sets of next-generation combat drone systems, each of which includes a ground station and remote video terminal, as well as three drones.

He said that the two sides have agreed that Serbia will use its imported Chinese technology to manufacture five sets of UAV systems. This is the first formal military technical cooperation between the two countries, which can increase the diversity of Serbia’s sources of weapons and equipment and help to ensure the country’s neutral status. Miloradovi stressed that this agreement will not affect the relationship between Serbia and other partners who have already cooperated.

Observer network military commentator said that from the previous reports on China's export of drones, China's main unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer is the Rainbow Company of Chengfei Company and Aerospace Science and Technology Group. Among them, Rainbow's Rainbow 3 drone production line has been sold to Pakistan, and at the same time transferred the rainbow full range of UAV production technology to Saudi Arabia. Based on this, Saudi Arabia is developing and producing its own domestic drone. Therefore, from Serbia, it will introduce technology to manufacture three sets of UAV systems. A total of 15 aircraft will appear to be more likely to purchase Rainbow series drones.

At the time of publication, the Rainbow Company Propaganda Department has not responded to the Interviewer's inquiry information.

China will not sell drone production lines for six combat drones. Serbia should at least buy 300 drones like Saudi Arabia, which will make it possible for China to sell production lines.

Nobody mentioned drone production line. According to the information released by our ministry of defence. Serbia will buy 7 UAV/UCAV systems from China. Each system consist of 3 UAV/UCAV, control station and remote video terminal. Two of those systems will be produced in China, and five will be delivered to Serbia in parts, and assembled here with chinese help. Technology transfer that is mentioned is about integration of complex optoelectronic systems on UAV, and industrial cooperation in the same field, which Serbia needs for our domestic development of UAV/UCAV. So it's 21 drone in total, and 6 should be UCAV.
