Srbija je,u principu,bila u ocajnom stanju te 1914 godine....finansijski,vojno,politicki....u bilo kom smislu......uopste nije bila spremna za rat tako velikih obima,narocito ne za sukob sa najvecim evropskim silama tog doba...

Verovatno se ne moze doci do najtacnijih podataka,ali otprlilike srbija je 1914 je teoretski mogla da mobilise nekih 400.000 ljudi od 21 do 50 godina....ali stvarno je bilo regrutovano oko 250.000 ljudi,a veliki problem je sto ni tih 250.000 ljudi nije moglo da bude adekvatno naoruzano i opremljeno...
Because of the poor financial state of the Serbian economy and losses in the recently fought Balkan Wars, the Serbian army lacked much of the modern weaponry and equipment necessary to engage in combat with their larger and wealthier adversaries. There were only 180,000 modern rifles available for the operational army, which meant that the Serbian Army lacked between one-quarter to one-third of the rifles necessary to fully equip even their front line units, let alone reserve forces.[17] Although Serbia tried to remedy this deficit by ordering 120,000 rifles from Russia in 1914, the weapons did not begin to arrive until the second half of August. Only 1st ban troops had complete uniforms, 2nd ban troops only had greatcoats and caps, while 3rd ban had no uniforms at all and were reduced to wearing their civilian clothes; troops didn’t have service issued boots at all, and a vast majority of troops wore their everyday footwear made of pig skin called opanak.
Ammunition reserves were also insufficient for sustained field operations as most of it had been spent in the 1912–13 Balkan wars. Artillery ammunition was sparse and only amounted to several hundred shells per unit. Because Serbia lacked a significant domestic military-industrial complex, its army was completely dependent on imports of ammunition and arms from France and Russia, which themselves were chronically short of supplies. The inevitable shortages of ammunition, which later would include a complete lack of artillery ammunition, reached their peak during decisive moments of Austro-Hungarian invasion.
Jednostvano,Srbija se previse istrosila u balkanskim ratovima i trebao joj je neki predah,i nikako nije bila spremna za tako veliki sukob vec 1914 godine.....navedeni su svi problemi,nedostatak modernih (za to doba) pusaka,nedostatak municije,srbija nije tada imala sopstvenu vojnu industriju pa da moze proizvoditi potrebne vojne resurse nego je skoro u potpunosti zavisila od uvoza vojne opreme.....i tako sve u svemu,ja ne znam kojoj budali je i palo na pamet da Srbija u takvom stanju udje u rat
