The Serbian government signed a giant contract with the Israeli company Elbit Systems for the purchase of $1.63 billion in weapons and combat systems.
Under the agreement, Elbit Systems will supply the Serbian military with a wide range of weapons and systems to improve its capabilities as part of a continuous modernization process.
Last week, Elbit reported on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange that it had signed a major deal worth $1.63 billion, without disclosing which European country was buying its equipment.
The package includes Elb's largest drone, the Hermes 900, along with long-range precision missiles, electronic warfare systems, and command and control platforms designed to improve battle operations.

The company said its refusal to disclose the client was in response to a confidentiality request from the client.
A security source told Calcalist that the Serbian Ministry of Defense aims to significantly improve its operational capabilities through this procurement, especially in light of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which is now in its fourth year. Elbit Systems declined to comment further on the report.
