NATO missile was Boban's toy: The deadly projectile was standing in his yard, when he approached it he understood what he wanted in life
Part of the bombs and rockets that came down on Serbia during the 78 days of bombing, didn't explode. The expects mostly destroyed they, or disarmed them, so parts of those missiles could be used for peaceful purposes considering that they are very expensive.
Boban Bogicevic was nine years old when NATO bombed Serbia. While his peers grew up in the countries who bombed Serbia, without a care in the world, an armed rocket arrived at his backyard in those war days.
- There is nothing dangerous really. It is mechanics, like you have in a car, or on any other machine. We have received the part with the steering, the whole automatics, wings, engines, actuators, sensors, and rocket burner, which is actually the engine of the rocket - said Boban Bogicevic, the master engineer for remote control.
Only the hull remained from the lethal projectile, and they haven't found a single use for it.
They did for everything else, with expert recycling.
- It is made from a lot of quality materials, so we used the burner for example. It is made from synthesized materials, which can endure high temperatures, which we later used in some of our experiments. Prochrome was also very good quality, so we made markers and a lot of other things. In order to disassemble it, first we had to build tools since the bolts have a specific shape and they were tightened really hard - explains Bogicevic.
War toys in childhood days, like disassembling a rocket, and various other locators, have predetermined Boban for his future calling. He got the love for electrics from his father and he learned from his grandpa, who is a car mechanic, everything about the engines and the way they can be used. So he will find some good use for the hull of the rocket.
