At the Krušik plant in the Serbian city of Valjevo, “during scheduled work” at an industrial enterprise producing artillery ammunition, which is supplied mainly to the Ukrainian army, was rocked by a powerful explosion.

The official statement claims that the explosion occurred in the morning at about 7:40 local time (8:40 Moscow time) during routine work to press pentaerythritol tetranitrate (an explosive used to fill ammunition and primers for them). As a result of the explosion, seven workers at the plant were injured and were hospitalized with minor injuries.

The day before, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia reported that, according to the agency's data, ammunition produced at this plant is supplied to the Ukrainian army. In addition, according to the SVR, Serbian defense enterprises supply their products to Ukraine using fake end-user certificates and intermediary countries as a cover. In total, since the start of the SVR, Serbia has managed to supply Ukraine with more than one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition for howitzers and MLRS, as well as more than a million rounds of ammunition for small arms. weapons.

          Exactly. A powerful explosion is when a workshop is destroyed. Either they have full automation, or it was a small explosion. Still, TEN is one of the most powerful explosives, significantly superior to TNT. To injure several people within a radius of 3-5 m, 30-50 grams would be enough.

            You've probably never seen such production facilities. Only one person could have died. Lead azide or mercury fulminate "bang" louder, but at the capsule plant, built back in 1848, practically no more than 1-2 people died during explosions.

        Vucic responded promptly to the statement of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service yesterday evening
        BELGRADE, May 29 — RIA Novosti. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will order that arms supply agreements not be fulfilled if there are doubts about the final recipient of these products, he said on Radio Television of Serbia.
        "I will give an order and a warning that if there is a suspicion and doubt that the so-called end user is being abused and sent to a conflict zone, and we find out about it, such agreements should not be implemented," the head of state said.

      Unfortunately, not only "Krushik" is involved in these deliveries -
      specific participants in the supply of ammunition to Ukraine: “the largest companies of the national military-industrial complex, including Yugoimport SDPR, Zenitprom, Krusik, Sofag, Reyer DTI, Sloboda, Prvi Partizan and others, are participating in the “conveyor belt of death” organized in Russia-friendly Serbia.

      It seems that the entire military-industrial complex of Serbia would not mind warming its hands and raking in more than 33 pieces of silver in our war, so retribution should not be selective, but complete. sad

    The photo is illustrative for horror, it's not an explosion, it's a bang. An explosion is when a factory goes to hell brick by brick into low geostationary orbit (for fear, I don't know how many kilometers that is). This is a warning to Vucic, don't anger the Orthodox God. He will punish and forgive.

      To put a plant into orbit, you need several thousand megatons. They say that the US, when testing a nuclear bomb into orbit, launched a cast-iron hatch weighing 600 kg, which covered the shaft through which the bomb was lowered for testing. Of the 2000 frames taken in a second, there are only 1.5 that show this hatch rushing into space.

        I think it's a fairy tale. The hatch would most likely melt or evaporate, but flying into orbit is against the laws of physics. A body cannot instantly reach the first cosmic velocity. An acceleration section is required.

    Serbia is not producing anything for Ukraine
    What buyers do with goods later is their own responsibility. So if Serbia is exporting it to EU, US, or some African countries, it is not up to Serbia to decide what those countries can do with ammo and weapons...

    On the other side, Russia was selling weapons and ammo to the enemies of Serbia, many times through history. And? Nothing, business is business...

They said that if the Ottoman Empire did not sit down at the negotiating table and make a peace agreement with Serbia and Montenegro, two hundred thousand Russian soldiers would pass through the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans would be forced to sit down at the negotiating table after being beaten. Should we continue?

        Why do you say evil Russians? Here in Serbia we never say that. Or do you think that we are not happy that our goals were aligned with Russian goals many many times in history? If you look more closely, Russia and their goals were always more close to Bulgaria then Serbia. And that is quite normal considering that Bulgaria is closer then Serbia, Bulgaria has more strategic importance to Russia then Serbia. And so? It is just logic

        Or should I point to the fact that Russia were supplying weapons to Croats, between 1993 and 1997 (helicopters, migs, ammo, fagots and so on), which helped them to kill and expel Serbian people out of croatia ? But that was a hard time for Russia, right ? Well consider that, this is a very hard time for Serbia, and west/Nato is handling Serbian politics in most parts - we are surrounded.

    Only yesterday, Serbian President Vucic announced his intention to investigate the supply of ammunition to the Ukrainian Armed Forces together with the Russian Federation. And today, an explosion has already occurred at the plant. And this is not the first time that Ukraine has tried to solve its problems in Europe by terrorist methods. Unfortunately, Russia has already gotten used to the rampant terrorism of the Kyiv junta. They catch the perpetrators and that's it. Now Europe will have to get used to it too.

    I, personally can only condemn that our products are ending on the front line. Our country should stay out of this conflict as far as possible, we are just to fragile and small to be involved in this
    But lets not pretend, that one tiny Serbia can control where their weapons and ammo will end. Do you really think big players like, US, EU, Nato would respect some kind of paper/certificate/contract in this case ? Don't be naive. What would happen? Serbia is going to sue NATO?

    If our government really made this deal, to sell ammo and weapons that will kill Russians, then they are more stupid then we ever imagined (people in Serbia does not have very high opinion on Vučić in general)
