As Albin Kurt continues his dangerous policies, the United States of America has handed over 66 armoured vehicles to the Serbian Army ( HMWV High Mobile Multipurpose Womened Vehicle, purchased through a trade contract with American company “AM General”, reported “BBM”

According to this medium, this is the first shipment of 118 vehicles ordered.

As announced by the American Embassy in Serbia through a post in Instagram, vehicles are located in the barracks in Pancevo and will be used among other things for the purposes of participation in international peacekeeping missions.

These are not just American vehicles, this is NATO standard. When you see who the Serbian Army is sitting with on peacekeeping missions, where partners in Lebanon are Spain and Italy, and at Sinai is the United States, what we have in common is the standard of NATO. The possession of such vehicles allows Serbia to be part of any peacekeeping mission, to be re-organised quickly with its partners worldwide”, said the embassy's announcement.

It further becomes known that this acquisition will enable Serbia not only to be effective in preserving world peace, but also that it is the first step in achieving interaction with the American military.

As reported, the new Humvee's first shipments began in late June through Belgrade's airport.

In 2012, and 2017, the U.S. has donated a total of 40 vehicles of its kind to the Serbian Army, and since then the army has been using them mainly in the then Special Brigade (bathalon in Pancevo) and at the 31st Exeria Battalion from Zajecar, part of the Third Brigade of the Earth Army.

According to information, Serbia plans to buy a total of 118 humvees from the US, which will be armed with materials from internal military factories. New models are planned to be equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun or an automatic grenade launcher.

Humvee is a multifunctional, armoured combat tool used by many armies in the world and almost all formations in Serbia. Due to relatively weak armoured defense, Humvee is used mainly in special or military-cope units, as well as for participation in peacekeeping operations.

Such vehicles were used for the first time in Serbia under the now-defunct (JSO) Special Operations Unit of the State Security Department, which purchased them in the last century's '90s.
