The Serbian River Flotilla (Serbian: Речна флотила, romanized: Rečna flotila) is a tactical brigade-level brown water naval branch subordinated to the Serbian Army of the Serbian Armed Forces. Patroling on the Danube, Sava, and Tisa rivers, it is tasked with environmental policing, counter-terrorism, and border security along country's international river borders.

History

The modern Serbian River Flotilla pulls it origins from Serbian Šajkaši river troops that guarded the Danube and Sava rivers, and especially, the Port of Belgrade, against Ottoman Empire river fleets from the 16th to the 19th century. Led by Hungarian or Austrian sponsors against the Ottomans, šajkaš troops were ethnic Serbs, who enjoyed special military status. Their name Šajkaš was derived from the small wooden boat known as chaika (Šajka, tschaiken), a type of galley operated by sail or oars manned by 30 and 50 men, commanded by an officer, a helmsman, an armourer, a drummer, two bowman, and up to 36 oarsmen. The modern day traditional Serbian šajkača hat is believed to be derived from the 18th-century Banat based Frontier Šajkaši Battalion uniform.[2]

The Šajkaši played a decisive role in helping Serbia become an independent constitutional monarchy and lay the ground for the creation of modern Serbia.[3] After the declaration of the war against Ottoman Empire in 1876, the Principality of Serbia River Flotilla deployed naval mines on the Danube, thought to be the first use of naval mines in Europe.[3]

The Kingdom of Serbia received its first true warship, the patrol boat "Jadar", on August 19 (O.S. August 6), 1915 and that date is commemorated as the establishment of the modern Serbian River Flotilla.[4] During the World War I flotilla protected lines of communication between Belgrade and Obrenovac, assisted in the transport of Serbian troops in Syrmia, mined waterways and performed reconnaissance.

As an allied victor in 1918, Serbia began the reconstruction and reconstitution of its armed forces, in a new state of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Within the Naval Department, the Danube Flotilla was headquartered in Novi Sad and commanded over the naval detachments on rivers and lakes. The fleet included the monitors' group, a number of auxiliary vessels, a proper naval base and a detachment of ships on Lake Ohrid in Macedonia.

During Yugoslav states it was organized in detachments of armored river boats, river assault ships, river auxiliary ships and minesweepers within the Yugoslav Navy.

The Yugoslav River Flotilla took an active part in War in Croatia in 1991, conducting patrol and combat missions on Danube, particularly during the Battle of Vukovar.

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslav People's Army became the Armed Forces of Serbia and Montenegro in 1992 and during that transition the River Flotilla remained part of Navy. During the 1990s, one new Neštin class river minesweeper was introduced in 1999, and two 601 class landing craft were transferred from sea service at Montenegro to the River Flotilla after being overhauled at "Brodotehnika Shipyard" in Belgrade. The Flotilla in its current form was formed on October 2 2008 when pontoon units were added to the Flotilla's structure. In 2017, the flagship command ship "Kozara" sailed from Novi Sad to Hungary in the first international voyage of a Serbian military ship since 1915.[5][6]

Missions

Tactical doctrine and operating procedures of the Serbian River Flotilla remain the same as those of the former Danube Flotilla of the Royal Yugoslav Navy.

The primary missions include:[7]

  • building and maintaining operational capabilities for carrying out tasks of all three missions of the Serbian Armed Forces,
  • operationalization and training of command and subordinate units for carrying out dedicated tasks,
  • control of inland waterways and provision of maneuvers to the units of the Serbian Army on and to rivers, channels and lakes
  • search and rescue on rivers, canals and lakes.
Member of the River Flotilla deployed on EU Maritime Forces in Somalia

Largest and most complex to date search and rescue operation was during the 2014 floods in Serbia, when members of the 1st Pontoon Battalion helped fight flood in Šabac and Loznica while amphibious vehicles and divers from 93rd Diving Company evacuated 2,072 people from Obrenovac.[8] Members of the River Flotilla were deployed throughout the country (Koceljeva, Šabac, Lazarevac, Lajkovac, Lučani and Loznica) to combat flooding: mainly in the evacuation of citizens and the reinforcement of bulwarks.[9]

Since 2011, personnel from the River Flotilla have been deployed to Operation Atalanta, an ongoing European Union multinational counter-piracy operation off the Horn of Africa and in the Western Indian Ocean. Deploying as the Serbian Autonomous Vessel Protection Detachment (AVPD), where River Flotilla personnel are directly stationed on World Food Programme (WFP) ships in need of protection.[10]

Structure

Commander of the River Flotilla Captain Ljubiša Marković

The River Flotilla is subordinated to the Serbian Army as the landlocked Serbian military doesn't possess naval branch. It is headquartered in Novi Sad, with additional units based in Belgrade and Šabac.

  • Command Company (Novi Sad)
  • 1st River Detachment (Novi Sad)
    • 93rd Diving Company [11]
  • 2nd River Detachment (Belgrade)
  • 1st Pontoon Battalion (Šabac)
  • 2nd Pontoon Battalion (Novi Sad)
  • Logistics Company (Novi Sad)

Equipment

The River Flotilla's surface fleet mostly date from the 1970s, but since being well maintained and subjected to periodic modest upgrades are considered to be adequate for at least another decade. Five Neštin class river minesweepers constitute the core of the fleet and although minesweepers their primary role is that of universal vessels for the control of river ways. They are expected to be in service until the end of 2020s as are Type 22 landing crafts and Type 20 patrol boats. To supplement these vessels, the flotilla has procured a number of small civilian craft, including one Premax 39 multirole fast combat boat built domestically by Yugoimport SDPR.[12]

In October 2013, a four-year general overhaul and modification of the flotilla's flagship ship, BPN-30 "Kozara”, was completed at "Apatin Shipyard" with the addition of new diesel-electric propulsion, giving the River Flotilla functional capabilities of a hospital ship as well as navigation and shipping training ship for cadets attending the Serbian Military Academy.[13] In 2017, China donated 24 RIB-720 boats equipped with 150 hp Yamaha outboard motors to the Serbian Armed Forces, of which 10 boats were allocated to the River Flotilla.[14]
