By: Jaroslaw Adamowski WARSAW, Poland — Serbia's acting assistant defense minister has announced the ministry is negotiating with a number of Chinese drone manufacturers to acquire UAVs for the Serbian military. Nenad Miloradovic said Serbia aims to buy Chinese drones for its armed forces as well as the technology that will allow the country's defense industry to produce UAVs in the long term. "This package deal, under which we plan to purchase, but also produce reconnaissance drones for the Serbian military, should be implemented shortly," Miloradovic said, as reported by local daily Blic. The official said that Serbia is positioning itself as a military-neutral country, and its government aims to procure weapons and military gear for the country's armed forces from various suppliers. "We don't have ideological prejudices in what concerns buying weapons," Miloradovic said. In a sign of strengthened military cooperation with Russia, Serbia's government earlier this year approved the purchase of six Mil Mi-17 helicopters, complementing acquisitions of other aircraft and weapons from Moscow. In contrast, Serbia signed a deal in 2016 to buy nine H145M helicopters from Dutch-French company Airbus. The value of the planned UAV deal was not disclosed by the Serbian official. https://www.defensenews.com/unmanned/2018/09/20/serbia-looks-to-acquire-chinese-drones-and-the-technological-know-how

A l'occasion d'une journée dédiée à la coopération franco-allemande ce jeudi 17 septembre, la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, et son homologue allemande Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, devraient se concerter sur le lancement du projet d'« Eurodrone », le drone européen de moyenne altitude et de longue distance. Ce programme engagé depuis 2017 par Airbus, le maître d'oeuvre du projet avec Dassault Aviation et Leonardo en co-traitants, est proche d'une contractualisation avec l'Organisation conjointe de coopération en matière d'armement (OCCAR), le bureau intergouvernemental qui gère les grands programmes d'armement européens. Il s'agit d'une commande estimée à 7 milliards d'euros pour 21 systèmes de 3 avions non pilotés et de 2 stations sol, dont 7 systèmes sont destinés à l'armée allemande, 5 à l'Italie, 5 à l'Espagne et 4 à la France. Les appareils doivent être livrés entre 2027 et 2030. Les Echos du 17 septembre 2020
