Serbia and Elbit Systems to Launch UAV Factory Amid $1.63 Billion Defense Contract
Serbia is set to inaugurate a UAV factory with Elbit Systems between September 15 and 20, 2026. This facility, in which Elbit will hold a 51% stake, is part of a five-year, $1.63 billion contract for advanced military systems.

A UAV factory in Serbia, established in collaboration with Elbit Systems, is scheduled to open in mid-September 2026. Under a contract valued at $1.63 billion, Elbit will supply the Serbian military with a variety of advanced systems, including long-range artillery rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles for intelligence and attack missions.
The contract also encompasses ISTAR capabilities, battlefield vehicle upgrades, and military digitization solutions. This deal represents one of the highest value contracts for Israeli defense firms. The implications of increased military capabilities in Serbia may influence regional security dynamics.
