Two new versions of prototype vehicles have sprawled up in the past two weeks partaining to the slovenian armed forces. I’ve gotten news of a few other interesting prototypes but those are still in the early stages of testing thus i will not include them in this post
First new variant: Up-Armored Patria chasis with a 25mm Mangart 25 RCWS with higher level protection than its base design. This one is being considered for service alongside Patria mangart 30 version as a faster firing cousin of the other 30mm turret.
The other one is again fitted with a standard light Mangart 25 LW version, but this time in combination with General Dynamics’ Pandur platform, or Valuk for Slovenian production. Hearsay suggests the Slovenian army would be interested in making this design standard due to a company called ARMAS already having the licence to produce the Valuk platform.

They teased the J22 Orao M1a variant as a premium pack vehicle, maybe that will be the first vehicle from our tree that is included in the game, being from Serbia… Absolutely cant wait for it to be added…

It’s a leak, although very specific. I’d be very sad if they decide to put it in the USSR or something like that if it does come actually, since I’m hoping for the tech tree or at the very least some combination to come forth.

https://youtu.be/a41_umWixpI?si=Qqg50Ey-q3ajgsbq SERBIAAA IS COMMING J 22M orao IS HEREEEEE FINALYYYY the question is where will it go and can we expect yugo tech tree in future this is a good sign finaly something added
Probably somewhere nobody wants it to go sadly.
Who knows. Hopefully
the problem is it will probably go to russia and that makes 0 sense serbia/yugoslavia was neutral and anti ussr so its like putting poland in ussr tech tree it only belongs to a yugo tech tree even serbia today is neutral my question is j22m1a varint can carry some pretty op missiles which are in development and in video it shows weapons that are in development even the modernisation is quite new and we know little but we will see sry for bad english

Welp. Another day another Slovenian rat vehicle. I’m sorry for the 50 simmillar things I post, but this country spent most of its defense budget on a railway and I don’t have much to show in terms of ground equipment. But anyways!
It was announced that most Slovenian defense companies will be going to EUROSATORY and we should be getting lots of new products. One of them is yet again from Valhalla.
This time, a new turret configuration was featured named Asgard 230. It has Northrop Grumann’s M230LF 30mm chain gun most commonly found on apache helicopters. In game this weapon is already found on the American AH-64D Apache.
So i’d imagine this thing would be a British fox like vehicle running around with a 30mm chain gun firing XM211 Proximity, M789/XM1198 HEDP, M788/XM950 TP, TP-T, HEI-T, and NATO standard 30mm x 113mm ADEN/DEFA ammunition. Due to this being a vehicle mounted weapon, it is a slightly modified variant with a longer barrel improving bullet velocity and firepower, with the trade-off being a slower fire rate at around 200 rounds per minute.
For more information about the weapon itself, you can get data here

Is ti functionally identical to Midgard 230?
1990s Croatian improvised vehicle. Here’s a better quality image:

I can imagine that thing was very very inacurate every time it shot.

It’s a bit different. While it uses the same M230LF, the Asgard 230 version has better anti-drone capabilities and modularity. It comes with an integrated radar and the ability to hold missiles. So in hindsight a bit more armored upgrade of the Midgard 230.
But I’d hold on for a bit because the information we have right now is very limited. My info only comes from their post and hearsay from people who distantly worked on this project

Cool! Is there a chance we’ll see any heavy turrets from Valhalla on Eurosatory? Like 35mm or more?

With how much domestic stuff you guys have inspired me to make a infantry discussion for Yugoslavia after reading about there domestic small arms industry. Though some of there weapons are copies or not great there all interesting. Some of Croatia’s small arms are death traps to say the least so they should be added!
