Stockpile management - Challenges Low pace of surplus ammunition disposal in the country (existing capacity is not used at full) AF BiH ammunition storage sites are overloaded (any attempt to decrease the number of non-perspective storage sites only worsens situation) None of AF BiH ammunition storage sites meets international standards of safety and security (significant investments are requested) Lack of trained personnel in the AF BiH 11 10
Capability Gaps in BiH Surplus Ammunition Inspection and Destruction (Demilitarization and OBOD) Capacities Type of Ammunition Quantity BiH Capacity Free Flight Rockets Luna (NATO FROG-7) 10 Only OBOD. No trained personnel available in AF BiH BL 755 cluster bombs 321 No trained personnel available in AF BiH Ground launched weapons RFAB 275/4 24 No trained personnel available in AF BiH Fuel air bombs FAB 275 34 No trained personnel available in AF BiH White phosphorous ammunition >20,000 Only OB (but environmental pollution) Hollow-charge ammunition TBC No equipment and trained personnel in AF BiH Surface to air missiles Kub (NATO SAM-6) Air to Surface missiles (different type) General 89 Only OBOD.
