The Czech Army is set to undergo a major
transformation that will eventually see the replacement of most
remaining Cold War-era equipment in favour of modern Western types.
Planned to include military hardware such as 73 Leopard 2A8 MBTs, 246 CV90
MkIVs, 62 Caesar 8x8 SPGs, 4 SPYDER SAM batteries, 10 AH-1Z attack
helicopters and up to 24 F-35 stealth fighter aircraft, the Czech
Republic as a result will be in possession of a highly capable and
well-equipped military. The desired end state will be achieved in two steps, as part of Milestone 2025 and Milestone 2030. [1]
