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!

There’s actually quite a few vehicles that appears in Vulovic’s music video albums. Not just Narod je Htito/Mlada Srpska Garda. The Panteri album in particular you can find some interesting vehicles in there.
The vehicle in question is this one in the link below, just with a different armament loadout

According to this magazine four lend-leased M7 Priests in the Yugoslav army were equipped with a 15 mm ZB vz. 60. Heavy machine gun.

That’s cool and useful in game. 15mm can nuke aircraft and keep light vehicles away when your on a reload

Just wanted to ask a couple of dumb questions:
Was the CCKW 553 armed with a captured gun and is there any images of when it still had the browning?
How did Yugoslavia obtain the m38/50 mount for it’s pionir trucks? I know these were naval mounts but were these obtained pre or post war?
Was the T-55a with the SO-76 turret made with captured parts?
Was the German weaponry used on Stuart’s and the S.35 that was later modified with the 6 pounder captured during active combat or were they abandoned/surrendered?
- Unsure
- Captured during the War
- Define captured parts (captured from the JNA/ Obtained from defecting JNA)
- Captured and then taken away to be modified in workshops before heading back to the frontline where it then saw active conflict. There are many photos especially during the Race to Trst in 1945 of these being utilised by the JA

Thanks for the response!
My 3rd question was ment when the tank itself was constructed, did it use parts captured from other factions or were all the parts obtained via inheritence/defection.
So any progress on updating the post and/or when can we expect some news regarding that?

I thought only one Sd.Kfz.250 PaK 38 got captured but there were 5 of them

You mean Sd.Kfz.251/22, because these are definitely not 250s judging by the running gear and body shape, and the gun is also visibly longer than the PaK 38 while having the same muzzle brake as PaK 40.
Interestingly though, one of the vehicles in the lineup has an engine grille, something that was previously only seen on one of the modified 250 PaK 38s, and may be a rare Yugoslavian modification.
