For a Strong Czech Armed Forces
On September 2, 2023, a joint memorandum on long-term cooperation was signed by all state-owned enterprises under the Czech Ministry of Defense. This marks the first initiative of its kind in the history of the independent Czech Republic.
State-owned enterprises have long advocated for the Czech Armed Forces to be regarded worldwide as a dynamically developing and technologically advanced military force. This joint initiative is a response to the current security situation in Europe. Now is the most opportune time to unite more firmly and work together to achieve strategic goals related to effectively strengthening our country’s defense capabilities. A stable, strong, and adequately equipped Czech Army is the cornerstone of this effort. The strength of the Czech Army does not lie solely in the number of professional soldiers and their colleagues in the active reserve. The stability and reliability of its technical infrastructure are equally important for its operation.
