Trials of 4x4 combat armoured and multi-role tactical vehicles for the SVK Army were completed last week by the Military Technical and Testing Institute (VTSÚ) Záhorie. The results of the trials will be analysed by experts in the coming weeks. Once processed, they will be incorporated into a document which along with the proposed 4x4 platform solution will be submitted to the Security Council and the Cabinet for approval by the end of the year.
The VTSÚ Institute trialled a total of 7 vehicles, i.e. ALIGATOR MASTER 2, COBRA 2, EAGLE, EJDER YALCIN, GERLACH, PATRIOT and SHERPA Light APC. In addition, trials of the PERUN vehicle are currently being undertaken by the Army of the Czech Republic. On agreement with the manufacturer, the SVK MOD will accept the results of the trials from the CZE MOD.
The procurement of 4x4 combat armoured/multi-role tactical vehicles is aligned to the 2030 Long-Term Defence Development Plan. Overall, the MOD wants to procure 404 vehicles for a maximum of €782.7 million, VAT included. The vehicle will come into service in stages until 2024. As with the 8x8 platform, the MOD seeks the maximum possible involvement of the SVK defence industry in the programme.
