Serbia to supply 155mm wheeled howitzers to mystery customer

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić confirmed the signing of a contract worth €311 million with a mystery customer for the delivery of 48 Serbian-made 155mm/52 NORA B52 self-propelled howitzers.

He announced the deal has been inked, withholding specific details, citing that the buyer is not from an African country. “I cannot say because I am waiting for their parliament and their president to go through the procedures,” Vučić stated.

Speculation suggests that the mystery buyer might be Azerbaijan, a nation that has previously expressed interest in acquiring this artillery system.

This artillery system is designed to be mounted on adapted chassis such as the KamAZ-63501 and MAN.
