All members of the Serbian Armed Forces are incessantly trained and they work every day on advancement of their capabilities and skills – said Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin who had an opportunity today, accompanied by Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces Major General Petar Cvetković, to be assured of the fire power of new armoured-reconnaissance vehicles BRDM-2MS, for the use of which members of reconnaissance companies of the Army brigades are undergoing the third phase of training in the area of the Military complex “Pasuljanske Livade”.
— Fighting armoured infantry vehicle, which we have received under military-technical agreement reached between President Putin and President Vučić, proves its supreme quality and all our members can use it and they are ready to execute every order — Minister Vulin stated, stressing that every investment in the Serbian Armed Forces strengthened the Serbian Armed Forces and that strong and trained armed forces meant strong Serbia, safer and lasting peace.
— All members of the Serbian Armed Forces are maximally motivated to give their best to repay their society and their country everything that was invested in them and everything that was invested in the Serbian Armed Forces. This year we also had two increases in salaries, increase in daily allowances, and we carried out significant work on raising the standard of all members of the Serbian Armed Forces which is always well returned — Minister Vulin stressed.
According to Deputy Commander of the Armoured-Reconnaissance Army Battalion Major Miloš Milošević, after completion of theoretic and practical training on Pasuljanske Livade, preparatory and training firing is going to be conducted from the new assets BRDM-2MS, which are considerably advanced in comparison to the old ones.
— We are extremely satisfied with the results achieved by our members. The differences of this assets, in relation to the old ones, enables that the firing marks are one or even two grades higher, while modernisation primarily refers to new sighting and reconnaissance devices, new engines and suspension systems — Major Milošević explained.
Gunner of BRDM-2MS vehicle, Corporal Miljan Timotijević reminds that firing training for the new assets was preceded by surveillance exercise in day and night conditions.
— As for the new vehicle BRDM-2MS, the vehicle is highly reliable. It is much easier to conduct surveillance and sighting by day and night, because we have more sighting devices. It is much easier to take firing elements, or measure distance to the target, make adjustments, and precision of target acquisition is much better too — Corporal Timotijević emphasised.
