TELEGRAPH"
Yugo-Slavia's Weaknes SPECIAL TO THE LONDON Apr. 6 (UP): British military authorities stated to-day that the Yugo Slavian army, when fully mobi- lised on a war footing, would consist of 30 infantry divisions, one guards division and three cavalry or mobile divisions. However, the army seriously lacks modern equipment.
The Infantry equipment is good, but there is a lack of modern anti- tank and close support weapons, There is also a shortage of modern artillery because many of the guns are howitzers dating from the last world
war. The greatest weakness lies in the lack of
armoured fighting vehicles, both tanks and armoured
cars,
