  • Development and production of the M-84 Main Battle Tank (MBT) by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia perfectly symbolized their national slogan, Brotherhood and Unity, just a decade before the country fell apart. It combined the economies and production capacities of six Yugoslav multi-ethnic republics to produce what will become their national pride. Considered one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by the Yugoslavian industry, it proved how complex and demanding tank production can be even for medium-sized countries.

    Two of my highschool teachers were engineers in this project. One was at one point the head of the team responsible for turret rotation electromotors. He said it was really fucking complicated, since the accuracy suffered due to gears being too big (meaning, the rotation wasn't as smooth as they liked). Other one was responsible for the engine power drive system. Always loved hearing their stories about it. One of them even went to Kuwait, when they were selling the M84 and BOV to them. Must have been good times.

    Talking to some of the vets here you would think this thing had the same mythical status as the WW2 tiger. One notable encounter with one of the few mostly completed models (due to most of them being in refits at the start of the balkan wars) had the infrantry ambush spend 12 rounds of various AT (mostly RPG-7 and domestic "zolja"). The first half a dozen didn't do much to phase it until they finally got around it, managed to disable its gun with a lucky hit, then one of its tracks and finally one of the hits knocked smth out at the engine as that finally cut out. The crew was still alive and unhurt and after a tense standoff the two sides negotiated and allowed the serbian crew to fall back.

      No such plans exist. The numbers will remain, and the M-84D upgrade pack was abandoned in favor of a slight overhaul ("revision", they call it). The MoD has announced it's intention to modernize the tank following the completion of the revision program in 2021, though no information on what that upgrade standard is going to be has been released to the public, and neither has any contract been signed. It seems likely that a diminished form of the "D" upgrade pack will be done, if any kind of modernization even goes through - and seeing the state of Croatia's defence budget, it's not at all a done deal.

    Stumbled across your channel and am really enjoying it overall but with one thing which makes it very difficult for me; it would be really helpful (and perhaps for others but I'm only speaking for myself) if you would work on a more casual or conversational enunciation and cadence when reading your script. With nearly every sentence you speak, you enunciate in a very stilted manner with too much emphasis on the words at the end of the sentence. Frankly it's so annoying I cannot watch more than one video in a row without a break. Other than that, I again do appreciate all of the hard work and information you provide! (And I will continue watching)

      @@aramisone7198 That's exactly what the plan is from what I've read. The tank would only start the production of an actual prototype, and the more importantly, the machinery and purchase of technology needed to create the tank, if a foreign investor, most likely a rich Middle Eastern nation that already had and still has contracts with the nation of Serbia & Yugoimport (United Arab Emirates & Iraq are the two most likely candidates), would pre-order the tank, which would allow procurement of everything needed to get a working model made, and eventual production.
      The issue these days, compared to a year ago when my post was made, is the war in Ukraine, which has isolated Serbia completely from its main military technology & armament supplier, Russia. Serbia is an island surrounded by an ocean of NATO nations, which make it impossible for Russia to even provide weapon systems already paid for, such as the Pantsir-SM1the A-220 57mm turrets for the Lazanski Heavy IFV (HIFV) project, and about 250 more Kornet ATGM's (40-50 delivered before the war/sanctions) for infantry use and possibly to be used to study how to incorporate and develop the necessary systems for the Kornet ATGM to be retrofitted onto vehicles that are still armed with domestically modernized versions of the Malyutka ATGM which have been developed into tandem-charge ATGMs but still have the slow speed of the original Malyutka. This has caused Serbia's military to either wait for sanctions to lift, buy Chinese weapons instead, or to have a bordering NATO nation like Hungary, who has remained the closest relationship with Russia, only behind Turkey, to allow Russian planes to pass thru their air space, but due to them being landlocked as well, would mean a deal with Romania Bulgaria, or Greece, would still have to be made. The longer the sanctions go on, and the more pain Europe feels from the sanctions, due to the lack of affordable natural gas, the more likely a deal to allow Russian planes to once again pass thru NATO & EU airspace will happen. The final option which has been floated around is to pay China to have its military fly a cargo plane into Russia, pick up the Serbian purchased systems, fly them back to China, where the plane would then fly from Chinese airspace to Serbia. China has already delivered it's FK-3 (export version of HQ-22 long range air defense system... FK-3 = 100km range / HQ-22 = 170km range) using its heavy lift cargo aircraft, the Xi'an Y-20, which proved Serbia had a runway capable of handling such a massive transport plane, meaning it wouldn't take too many trips to get everything that was ordered, with the Pantsir-SM1 being the largest.

Then it has been sanctions, then the bombing campaign. Nowadays, it is the EU and NATO who actively intervene at any sign of unity. There are now surreptitiously funded neo-Nazi groups in Croatia and Slovenia, betraying the memory of the sacrifices the Yugoslav people made to win back every metre of ground from Nazism, paid for in blood.
      Yugoslavia always looked westward for its cultural influences. Well, NATO country spies are influencing people now, and it's not in a way to honour those years after World War 2 when Yugoslavia stood astride East and West, and sought to build a non-aligned movement that found brotherhood in sovereignty of nations.
