Laying the foundation stone of the first CV90 infantry fighting vehicle for the Czech Army
The first CV90 infantry fighting vehicle (BMP) designed for the Czech Armed Forces rolled off the assembly line at the BAE Systems Hägglunds plant in Ernskoldsvik, Sweden. The official presentation of the car took place in the presence of Czech Defense Minister Jana Chernokhova and Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnson.
The CV9030CZ Mk model.The IV is one of the latest modifications of the CV90 family, widely used by NATO allies. The infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with modern means of protection, firepower and high mobility, which will allow the Czech Republic to upgrade outdated Soviet equipment and significantly strengthen national defense.
The acquisition of the CV90 is in line with the Czech Republic's objectives of modernizing the army and fulfilling its obligations under the NATO alliance. It is planned to start deliveries from the batch in 2026, followed by an expansion of the fleet of vehicles until 2030, which will significantly increase combat effectiveness and interoperability with allies.
