On 21DEC2022, NATO’s Czech Republic (aka Czechia) received its first rebuilt Leopard (Leo) 2A4 battle tank from NATO-Germany.
It was part of a deal in which Czech Republic agreed to buy new-build Combat Vehicle (CV)-90 ‘tanks’ from Sweden, and gave Ukraine older Soviet era military equipment: “We got the tanks for supporting Ukraine. The support of Ukraine is absolutely correct and necessary, I am proud of it.”-Major General Karel Řehka, Chief of the General Staff of the Army Czech Republic (ACR)
Officials from NATO Member Germany, and NATO Partner Austria, observed the ceremony. Czech Republic is getting 13 additional Leo 2A4 battle tanks (along with spare parts) by the end of 2023, and one Leopard recovery vehicle by the middle of 2024.
