EDePro

Additional Details

EDePro's role in supporting the Israeli military lies in being a primary and direct supplier of rocket components and ammunition shipped to meet Israeli military needs, particularly during periods of intense combat and ongoing warfare. According to international investigative reports, customs data, and flight tracking records (such as reports by the BIRN network and Haaretz newspaper), this role specifically consists of the following points: 1. Supplying Israeli Defense Companies with Ammunition Direct Sales to Israeli Weapons Manufacturers: EDePro (alongside other Serbian companies) exported ammunition shipments and military components directly to IMI Systems (formerly Israel Military Industries), a subsidiary fully owned by the Elbit Systems group (the largest weapons manufacturer for the Israeli military). Feeding the Ground and Air Forces: The materials produced by EDePro are used in Elbit’s supply chains, which provide the Israeli military with approximately 85% of its land equipment and drones, thereby indirectly contributing to replenishing military stockpiles. 2. Providing Rocket Propellant and Jet Engine Technology EDePro is globally distinguished for its production of solid rocket propellant and small turbojet engines. Its role here focuses on: * Shipping propulsion components and systems specifically designed for artillery rockets and guided missiles. * Providing spare parts and energetic materials used in the development and manufacturing of missiles produced by Israeli companies. 3. Contributing to the "Secret Airlift" to Nevatim AirbaseEDePro's name has been linked to intensive military cargo flights; flight tracking platforms monitored the movement of Israeli military and civilian cargo planes (such as Boeing 747s belonging to Challenge Airlines, formerly CAL) loading pallets and ammunition from Belgrade airport and heading directly to Nevatim Airbase, which belongs to the Israeli military. The timing of these shipments aligned precisely with the signing of the company's export contracts. 4. Breaking Embargoes and International Restrictions a Lifeline for Israel's Defense Industry: At a time when several European countries (such as Spain and Canada) imposed arms export bans on Israel or suspended joint production licenses, Serbian exports—with EDePro participating as one of the top five prominent private companies—offered a vital and ongoing alternative to secure the Israeli military's needs for conventional and artillery ammunition. These supplies continued to flow under a cover of "strict secrecy" and were classified as protected intelligence data, even after official political announcements from the Serbian government regarding the review or suspension of exports.
