Slovakia has a total requirement for 223 vehicles, with
purchases divided into two phases: 152 vehicles in the first phase and 71
vehicles in the second. The country chose the CV90 MkIV in seven variants,
including an IFV variant armed with a 35 mm automatic cannon and a 120 mm Mortar
Carrier variant. Czechia requires 210 vehicles, including an IFV
variant with a 30 mm automatic cannon.
According to the agreement, talks will be held with local
industries in both countries to find ways to involve them in vehicle
production. The cooperative agreement includes common spare parts, logistics,
and maintenance programs. The two countries will coordinate technical
requirements for their vehicles to achieve high commonality. The two countries
also intend to conduct joint training for their CV90-equipped units, allowing
both armed forces to benefit from the vehicle's experience.
