★Following the end of the Second World War, the newly created Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) initiated a series of experimental aircraft design programs. These were intended for testing and gaining valuable experience in new jet propulsion technologies. From this initial work, an unusual new glider project, designated Ikarus 453MW, would emerge. Little is known about the purpose of this glider and its defined role.
