In early 1938 the Yugoslavs ordered 12 aircraft. The first two were ferried by air via France and Italy to Yugoslavia on 15 December 1938. The aircraft had Merlin II engines and two-bladed Watts Z.38 propellers. The remaining ten aircraft were not delivered until April 1939. Most probably the first 12 Hurricanes received serials in the range BR.2301-BR.2312. All Hurricanes of the first batch had their two-bladed Watts Z.38 propellers replaced by three-bladed de Havilland Hamilton type. These changes were introduced by April 1941.

      After WW2 broke out the British sent another batch of 12 aircraft. These were the Hurricanes with all-metal wings, Merlin III engine, and three-bladed de Havilland Hamilton propellers. Deliveries started in February 1940. The aircraft reached Yugoslavia in March 1940. Most probably they received serials from BR.2313 toBR.2324.

     In early 1940 a license agreement for Hurricane production in Yugoslavia was signed. The government ordered 100 Hurricane Is. The Fabrika Aeroplana i Hidroplana at Zemun "Zmaj" was going to make 60, and the Rogozarski, a further 40 aircraft. By the time of the German invasion Zmaj completed the first batch of 24 aircraft. Most probably 18 machines were delivered to air units before 6 April 1941. These were aircraft with Merlin III engines and de Havilland Hamilton propellers. The remaining 6 aircraft would reach military units after the war with Germany started. Aircraft made by Zmaj had serials BR.2325 to BR.2348.

   The other factory to make Hurricanes was Rogozarski. In April 1941 12 machines were nearing completion (fully assembled they awaited delivery of propellers and machine guns). Another similar batch was at various stages of preparation for assembly. There is nothing to prove that any complete aircraft left that factory. The outbreak of WW2 led to shortages of Merlin engines that were not supplied by the British in required numbers. In an attempt to overcome this, Yugoslav engineers at the Ikarus "Zmaj" factory at Zemun tried to replace the British engine with the German Daimler-Benz DB601 A. This task was entrusted to two designers: Ljubomir Ilic and Kosta Sivcev. The British engine was removed from one aero plane, and replaced with the German one. Such aero plane underwent testing in March 1941. The pilot, kapeten I klase Milos Bajagic, and others, flew a total of some 100 hours in it. This aircraft was designated LVT-1 (Lovac Vazduhoplovno Tehnicki -1 - Technological Air Fighter). Use of the new power plant significantly improved the performance of the Hurricane, it was 20 km/h (12.4 mph) faster than the British original. In this connection it would enter production. This was undertaken by the Rogozarski factory, where fuselages were adapted for the new engine. The first batch of aircraft was 87 per cent complete on 6 April 1941.
