Press Release, Belgrade, 02 January 2025: [auto-translated] Members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, thanks to the equipment with modern weapons and military equipment in the previous period, as well as the achieved level of training, can stand shoulder to shoulder with members of Special Forces of the strongest armies.
Armoured combat vehicles Miloš, remotely controlled combat platforms Mali Miloš, anti-tank systems Kornet, state-of-the-art small arms weapons, new uniforms, optoelectronic devices and modern protective ballistic equipment are only part of the acquired assets that greatly contribute to the successful implementation of the unit’s training and tasks. Each segment of training, one of which is combat in rural and urban environments, is implemented with the use of newly introduced weapons and equipment. In this way, according to members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade, the training process has been greatly facilitated, which has also been raised to a higher level, enabling faster and more efficient implementation of the assigned tasks.
“The training of our members is a continuous process, which is intensified in certain periods of the year in accordance with the plan and needs of the unit. Through the implementation of the training content so far, members of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade were able to verify the reliability, safety and quality of the new weapons and equipment,” emphasised a member of the 72nd Brigade.
Intensive training and equipping of the unit results in the readiness of its members to respond to the most complex tasks in all weather and terrain conditions. “The most modern means with which we have equipped ourselves in the past two years allow us to carry out tasks on land, on water, under water and in the air. The ability and readiness of our unit is evidenced by the fact that we have won gold at the Military Police Unit Competition for three years in a row, that we have achieved notable results at the Elite Counter-Terrorism Unit Competition in Kuwait, and that we have won first and second place in the United States at the ‘Best Warrior’ competition,” a member of the 72nd Special Operations Brigade proudly points out.
