The press service of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that, according to information received, the Ukrainian military is very grateful to Serbian weapons and ammunition manufacturers for their contribution to maintaining the combat readiness of the Ukrainian armed forces.
"Kiev notes that enterprises of the Serbian military-industrial complex, despite increasing pressure on Belgrade from Moscow, are increasing the export of military products to the zone of confrontation between the 'collective West' and Russia. This is largely made possible by the use of indirect supply chains," it states. SVR press release.
It is added that ammunition produced in Serbian defense factories, primarily for heavy long-range systems, is being sent to NATO countries in the interests of Ukraine in the form of complete sets of parts for assembly, reports Danas.rs.
"This allows Kiev to formally receive military products that are no longer Serbian, but are assembled in weapons factories in Western countries. Assembly and loading of ammunition is carried out primarily in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria. At the same time, manufacturers in Serbia are well aware of the real consumers of their products and the fact that their rockets and shells will kill Russian military personnel and residents of Russian settlements," the statement said.
According to the data obtained, it is added that the Krušik factory from Valjevo recently sold several large batches of 122 mm rocket assembly kits for the Grad air-to-air missile system to the Czech company Policska Strojirna.
"The Loznica defense company 'Eling' sent the Bulgarian company 'EMKO' kits for the production of the same missiles, as well as 120 mm mines. For centuries, a common faith has united the Serbian and Russian people and elevated them to fight together against our enemies. It is sad that these traditions of friendship and mutual assistance are now being crossed out by the thirst for profit and cowardly multivectorism," the statement said.
