4 weapons

PPT Namenska grew out of the Prva Petoletka industrial complex in Trstenik, where Yugoslav postwar plans first assigned an aircraft and defense-industrial role. Its own history describes a special-products factory formed inside Prva Petoletka in 1972, a dedicated factory site put into operation in 1983-1984, and final separation from the Prva Petoletka system in 2008.

The builder's current public defense role centers on research, design, production, testing, maintenance, and overhaul of military and civil hydraulic, pneumatic, process-technology, and control systems. For this catalog, the direct connection is its mortar line: catalog entries list PPT Namenska as a manufacturer for 60 mm, 82 mm, and 120 mm Yugoslav/Serbian mortar systems.
