Encryption devices of the former Yugoslav Republic
This section of the website deals with encryption devices that were
developed, built or used in the former Yugoslav Republic (Yugoslavia). 1
In the period following WWII, many American radio sets were left behind
as some form of military aid. Some of these sets were later copied or built
under licence of the original manufacturer, such as the BC-1000 radio
(known in Yugoslavia as RUP-1).
During the Cold War,
Yugoslavia was a communist state, but was never part of
the Warsaw Pact (Sovjet Union and allied states) [1]. Although the country was
sometimes considered to be behind the Iron Curtain [2],
it was always able to obtain equipment and components from both sides.
For this reason, a wide variety of international equipment can be found there,
from countries like the USSR and the rest of the
Warsaw Pact,
the US, Europe and, of course, the former Yugoslavia itself.
Over the years Yugoslavia had built up an impressive electronics industry,
with companies like the television factory Rudi Čajavec in Banja Luka
(Bosnia and Herzegovina) making a wide variety of
radio sets
and encryption devices. A series of Yugoslav Wars (1991-2001) [3]
resulted in the dissolution of the Yugoslav Republic
and eventually led to the independence of the individual republics of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Serbia.
As a result, much of the existing industry had to be restructured
or was forced to close its doors.
