In the April issue of “Odbrana” magazine read about the following:

 – What the Ministry of Defence and the Serbian Armed Forces did for their people and their country during a state of emergency.
 – We talked to the Head of the Chinese expert team, Dr. Zijiang, about the nature of Covid-19, the work on the vaccine, China's experiences, the measures taken in our country, and the role of the military in a state of emergency during an epidemic.

– On the occasion of the anniversary of NATO aggression - we bring a text about the work of the military medical service in 1999 entitled - HEROES IN WHITE, as well as several authentic and never published stories from a notebook of a war surgeon.

– The texts in the SYSTEM section testify that the Serbian Armed Forces have not lost a fraction of their combat readiness. We visited the Second Army Brigade, attended helicopter training for military pilots and cadets of the Military Academy, the oath-taking ceremony, armoured units’ firing practice and we visited the Technical Test Centre.

– In the GLOBAL section, we also comment on how the world has dealt with the global threat of the coronavirus, where Turkey is today in the context of "strategic depth", and we try to bring the Chinese military closer to our readers through the text about the most mysterious part of the Chinese Armed Forces – the Strategic Support Force.
