New issue of Odbrana



Read about the most important activities in the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces in September in the new issue of Odbrana Magazine.
After the In Focus section, which includes a summary of the aforementioned activities, we recommend that you read the Standpoint section dedicated to the commissioning ceremony in which 177 cadets of the Military Academy and the MMA’s Medical Faculty were commissioned as second lieutenants of the Serbian Armed Forces.

The System section opens with a richly illustrated report summarizing the capabilities display held at the military airport Colonel-Pilot Milenko Pavlović in Batajnica, which involved more than six thousand members of the Serbian Armed Forces, over 2,500 pieces of armament and military equipment and more than 50 aircraft.

The next story featured in the magazine covers the Special Forces’ tactical exercise Drina 2024, conducted in the area of Mt. Gučevo, with the highest state and military officials in attendance. This is followed by an article about the current situation in the Mixed Artillery Brigade.  

Odbrana’s central section features an overview of different types of training conducted by the members of the Serbian Armed Forces over the past month.  
The October issue of the magazine focuses its attention on the 125th anniversary of the MoD’s Stanislav Binički Artistic Ensemble, and its Arsenal section, dedicated primarily to the fans of military technology, presents a forerunner of modern FG 42 automatic rifles.  

We have also included in this issue the accounts of two conferences organized by the Military Medical Academy –  the 23rd International Congress of Ophthalmologists of Serbia and the symposium "Modern Approach to the Organization of Nurses' and Health Technicians' Work".

The History section, written by Marija T. Mraović, Ph.D., features an extremely interesting story about radio propaganda in the occupied territory of Serbia in the Second World War, as well as a piece about Šabac, a hero city of the Great War, which lost more than a half of its population due to the atrocities of the Austro-Hungarian army in that global conflict.  

There are many reasons for you to get your own copy of the new issue of Odbrana, a magazine that one reads and keeps.
