Military of Yugoslavia (Wasteland Europe)

The Peoples Yugoslavian Army (Split up into the Ground Force, Navy and Air Force) is one of the largest in the world and is the only army in Europe that can challange the USSR's mighty Army of Europe.

Origins
The origins of the JNA can be found in the Yugoslav Partisan units of World War II. As part of the antifascist People's Liberation War of Yugoslavia, the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia (NOVJ), a predecessor of the JNA, was formed in the town of Rudo in Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 22, 1941. After the liberation of the country from the Axis Powers, that date was officially celebrated as the Day of the Army in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFR Yugoslavia).

In March 1945, the NOVJ was renamed the Yugoslav Army (Jugoslovenska Armija) and finally on its 10th anniversary on December 22, 1951, received the adjective "People's" (Narodna).

Technology
The early 21st century marked the first period in Yugoslavias history where Yugoslavia developed its own equipment and its own apliances instead of buying equipment from the USA or USSR. Because of this it has been viewed as the Golden Age of slavic injenuity and Yugoslavia is now producing massive amounts of indiginous equipment and armaments. In this time period Yugoslavic scientists and intelectuals produced the following equipment;

M-84
The M-84 main battle tank is a Yugoslavian version of the Soviet T-72. Some improvements over the T-72 include a domestic fire-control system, improved composite armor, and a 1000-hp engine. The M-84 entered service with the Yugoslav People's Army in 1984. The improved M-84A version entered service a few years later.

M-90
The M-90 tank is roughly equivilant to the Soviet T-90 but it features improved protection and an increased rate of fire. It was built with a mix of Soviet and US equipment but is considered to be a Yugoslavian tank.
