Serbia Inducts Locally-made 'Nora' Howitzers, Armored Vehicles

Serbian Armed Forces recently inducted new Nora self-propelled howitzers as well as two different types of armored vehicles- Lazars and Miloš.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Nebojša Stefanović, PhD, visited the “Complex Combat Systems” factory in Velika Plana on March 23. He said the military would induct six Nora howitzers as well as six Lazar and few more Milos armored vehicles in that week.

The NORA-B52 155mm self-propelled gun-howitzer is designed to replace older artillery systems in service with the Serbian Army. First 12 NORA B-52's were delivered to the Serbian Army in 2007 and more systems of this type were ordered. The weapon is modular, which provides for the delivery of a number of different options. It is mounted on KAMAZ 6560 and MAN TGS chassis. It can also be mounted on some other truck chassis depending on the user’s choice.
