Zitat:Czech government authorises negotiations with Sweden on procurement of CV90 MkIV IFVshttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/land-...-mkiv-ifvs
The CV90 MkIV produced by BAE Systems Hägglunds will be the Czech Army's new infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The decision was announced after a Czech government meeting on 20 July. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said, “We will negotiate with Sweden to acquire new infantry fighting vehicles.”
The Czech Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced in a press release on 20 July that the Czech cabinet had decided to cancel the original procurement of the new IFV, which was suspended in November 2021, and authorised Defence Minister Jana Černochová to commence negotiations with the Swedish government on the procurement of the CV90 MkIV. Černochová said, “The CV90 is an established and combat-proven platform. It has also been selected by the Slovak Republic, and we will co-ordinate our negotiations with Slovakia.” She also expected to achieve cost savings by co-operating with Slovakia.
