He noted that after yesterday’s meeting with President Vučić, dedicated to equipping the Army, steps are already being taken so that all assigned tasks are carried out in the next period.
“We will do our best to continue equipping our even stronger units in 2021 and to show that we care about the people of the military. Our task is, in addition to combat vehicles, to improve the capabilities and non-combat vehicles required for the operation of our logistics units ”, emphasized the Defense Minister, appreciating that together with combat vehicles, which are the first association with the army, non-military vehicles are equally important for the operation of the army in various tasks.

Stefanović recalled that the Serbian army cannot fulfill its tasks without adequate, good and precise logistics.
“Modern MAN tanks, which can be seen here, enable proper maintenance of our aircraft. They have a large capacity and can supply two aircraft at the same time, just as these motor vehicles have one of the key functions in supplying the army. “Stefanovic noted.
