Rocketeers for pride



On the occasion of the successful execution of live firing on air targets at Shabla firing range in Bulgaria, Defence Minister Aleksandar Vulin congratulated the members of the 250th AD Missile Brigade of the Serbian Armed Forces.
 
- We are proud of your success, which confirmed the excellent training level and conviction that the sky above Serbia is safe. The success is even greater because you shot down all the targets in extremely complex meteorological conditions. By doing this, you showed that you are worthy followers of famous warriors who defended Serbia and its free sky, but also modernly trained soldiers who know how best to use the technique they have, says Minister Vulin's congratulatory message, reminding of the efforts of members of the 250th Missile Brigade who, defending Serbia in the NATO aggression in 1999, defeated the most modern "stealth" aircraft F-117.
 
- The fourth successful firing at the Shabla firing range shows the continuity of quality training in the 250th AD Missile Brigade. It is up to us to strive to provide you with even more modern weapons in order to strengthen the Serbian Armed Forces and the peace of all our citizens - Minister Vulin said, congratulating the members of the brigade on another successful verification of operational capabilities and a high level of interoperability with their Bulgarian counterparts.
