Addressing citizens, Vucic invited all residents of Kragujevac to come to the stadium in Sumarice on the national holiday - Vidovdan (St. Vitus Day, June 28) - where the largest tactical and technical gathering will be held.

"We will show our most modern helicopters, including the Mi-35s, and in addition to all our weapons, visitors will be able to see the Serbian Pantsirs that we bought from the Russian Federation," said Vucic.

He added that, as the supreme commander of the Serbian Army, he will ask that citizens be allowed to also see what locating and shooting at objects in the air looks like, noting that there is the possibility that he will get a negative response (from the military).

"But, come, it will be a beautiful day - Vidovdovan, you will be able to see drones as well. We have also ordered new drones that can carry up to 500 kilograms," said Vucic.
