Theres so much stuff in the former YU to Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia Tree, they really dont need Subtree´s, but either way, greece and so on would be a funny addition.
Also croatia getting 2A8´s and M2 plus already having rafales, i mean, thats a really crazy tree by itself.

I don’t agree with that one.
Instead, the nations of the movement of the non-aligned would be a great idea if they can’t be implemented in any other way. Thatd make for a sub tree and a half

Here an interesting vehicle. Please add this in the TT.
It is the MGS-25 Aleksandar from Serbia.
This cutting-edge artillery weapon of the Serbian defense industry is the most powerful, fully automated fire support artillery weapon in cal. 155 mm with a high level of autonomy. The weapon was made through an integration of a 155 mm weapon module on an 8x8 chassis. The weapon module is controlled from the vehicle cabin and, owing to its characteristics, can be regarded as a 155 mm RCWS. The weapon module is actually a 155 mm barrel assembly (autofretted) manufactured in two versions. The first version is JBMOU-compliant and comprises a 23-liter chamber, whereas the second one has a 25-liter chamber enabling significantly longer range and higher fire power of the weapon. The most important component of the weapon module is a fully automatic loader with 12 projectiles and propellant charges, featuring the possibility of loading at all elevations and the rate of fire up to 6 rounds per minute. Additional 12 rounds are accommodated on the platform for automatic re-loading, so the combat set comprises a total of 24 rounds without any crew engagement necessary. The system features an automatic line of sight and automated navigation. For stabilization purposes, the weapon is fitted with 4 hydraulic trails enabling fire in both directions which makes this weapon unique in the world.
The weapon is equipped with a sensor head for direct fire and with muzzle velocity measuring radar. Both systems are directly connected to the AFCS components on the weapon. The crew is comprised of 3 members accommodated in the armoured cabin of the vehicle and are protected during operation and exploitation of the weapon. Owing to the fully automatic system, the time required to shift from travelling to combat position is very short which enables a swift and efficient deployment and retreat from combat. Furthermore, the weapon features MRSI capability for 4 projectiles up to 25 km of range. The weapon can use all types of standard and special 155 mm ammunition manufactured as per NATO standard.

Dont think this was suggested yet, but there is a single version of a M-84 with fixed Zastava M55 on top its barrel that was used at targeting range for easier range finding and practicing.

I indeed intended to remove it, as at some point I stumbled upon the M-84 picture that felt… familiar. May be one of the more successful gaslights in regards to Yugoslav vehicles.
In regards to the M-84 with M-75 20mm, I intended to add it as a premium to replace the AMV MTC-30.

Partizan Tank

True History
The Yugoslav Partizans really wanted a tank to retake a village of Srb so the Serbs had somewhere to live after the war. One engineering dropout Stevo Brozović, decided after a long night of heavy drinking that a fuel tank would make the best possible defense against machinegun fire. So they stole one from the local train yard, cut it in half. Figured they had to actually give the bloody thing the ability of locomotion. Stole some wheelchairs from the local hospitals (don’t worry there were no cripples in communist countries) and popped them on easy peasy. No room for an engine so they either had to Fred Flintstone the tucker around or use a donkey to tow it around like its modern day Russian logistics.
Now before they sent it out to charge a fortified position. Stevo wanted to increase the chances of getting killed in the first minute from a “probably” to a “maybe”. So they did a test run on the armor with a machine gun and found that maybe building your APC out of something meant to hold 200 gallons of fuel wasn’t the brightest pencil in the pencil case idea.
The base armor was 6 - 8 mm thick so they added 4.5 mm plate. Shot at it. Machine gun still penetrated. Added another steel plate 4.5 mm thick. But this time it was spaced out and they added sand and whatever they could find on the ground to fill the air gap in-between the plates.
This made it the first vehicle to use composite armor. T-64 eat your heart out.
The thing didn’t have any real guns. But it did have a thin, three sided shield with decoy barrels so a Italian facing the front of this thing would never ever for any reason try to shoot below that shield even if he did notice that the apparent guns weren’t aimed at him but shots were still coming his way from the vehicle.
After the design was ready the Italians stationed at Srb got so scared by Stevo’s super weapon that they up and left. Partizans decided that it would be cruel to have the enemy get killed by a trash bin on wheels and decided to use whatever the Italians and Germans left behind.
It is said that the vehicle still resides somewhere In the Croatian History Museum’s back yard. Waiting for the next war.
Specs
Speed: Depends on the crew or donkey
Engine: Look at “Speed”. But lets say 4 km/h
Weight: No clue but I bet six guys could lift it.
Crew: Either 8 children or 4 adults
Armor: ~15 - 17 mm + 60 - 80 mm of sand and stuff. Also bottom was 4.5 mm thick and a dome above was probably 6 - 8 mm thick since it was part of the original fuel tank.
Armament: 4 x whatever gun they brought to work that day.
Secondary armament: Hand grenades.
