Pictured T-72 M4 CZ, main battle tank of the ACR | Picture: The Czech Armed Forces need new tanks. Licensed production, 40% share of state-owned enterprises is now a common requirement in tenders. However, times have advanced and foreign weapons with the involvement of the domestic defence industry do make sense today. This piece of wisdom remains relevant even nowadays, and from the point of view of military purchases and tenders, the year 2025 is really round the corner. would rather lose a battle with his own army than win it with somebody else's, because he knows that a victory won by somebody else's weapons is not a real victory," said Niccolo Machiavelli, an Italian politician and writer 500 years ago.
Is this fiction? So far, yes, but maybe not for long if the army cuts continue. The fire control system still works in that one, so let's show it off at least at the beginning of the museum season. The T-72M4CZ version and its last functional piece were transported to Lešany. The reservists do not have anything to practice on.
Production approval came nearly a year after Poland purchased 180 K2 tanks from South Korea under a $5.7 billion deal that also included 212 K9A1 self-propelled howitzers.įollowing the deal, other countries have also reportedly shown interest in the tank, including Slovakia and Norway.The year is 2025 and soldiers from the 73rd Tank Battalion from Přáslavice dust off T-72M1 tanks, trying to keep them running for a little longer. “By acquiring additional K2 tanks through this project, (we) expect them to greatly contribute to enhancing the maneuver corps’ capabilities to carry out offensive maneuver warfare,” Yonhap News Agency quoted the country’s Defense Project Promotion Committee as stating. The Hyundai Rotem tank is intended to replace South Korea’s aging M48 Patton and K1 main battle tank.
South Korea has already ordered and received around 260 K2s during the first three production cycles. This is the fourth round of mass production of the indigenous tank, in service since 2014 and manufactured by Hyundai Rotem. The number of tanks to be built under the five-year project was not disclosed. South Korea has approved the mass production of additional K2 Black Panther main battle tanks for an estimated 1.94 trillion won ($1.46 billion).
