Warrior chads...
Our response?
BAE produces that IFV, the "B" stands for "british".
interesting cope
it will do
And Hägglunds is just the nickname of Sir Humphrey Hägglundsingtonworth, inventor of the CV90 back in 1901.
Another W for Ol’ Blighty.

oh, what gun are they getting? I couldn't find anything in my (brief) search
Mk4 doesn’t come with 40mm option
MK IV has two 40mm options. Super 40 (30/40) and The Bushmaster MK IV
It can still fit the old Bofors 40mm but I doubt anyone will buy it. Korea uses a gun similar to the Bofors 40mm on their K21 but even they are looking to replace it with a 40mm CTA gun.
>It can still fit the old Bofors 40mm but I doubt anyone will buy it.
We'll see what the Bofors 40mm version will do in Ukraine.
It will likely prove the end of the use of that gun. Finally. No need to use WW2 guns in modern wars.
>Finally. No need to use WW2 guns in modern wars.
It's outdated shit. Make better guns.
What's wrong with it?
Same as the Bofors 40. It's old.
We should have improved on it by now.
Letting old weapons stand ties us to the past.
>It's old.
That's not actual criticism. You do realize these guns are newly made and have gone through several revisions?
>Letting old weapons stand ties us to the past
Based.
Name the improvements. Some machines are so highly refined there is no low-hanging fruit left to pick.
Different anon, and I love the bofors, but the loading system really is a fault at this point in autocannon development. Luckily fixed by the incredibly based Bushmaster MK IV which fires the same 40x365mm round.
Koreans have a design that's based on the Bofors 40mm but it has an autoloader. Love these weird fucking things. They're like a combination of a CV90 and BMP3.
>Letting old weapons stand ties us to the past.
What a fucking gay and retarded opinion. You should shove an onion up your asshole.
It can use the Bushmaster II 30mm with the 40mm conversion, aka the "super 40" the Bushmaster III 35mm also available with a "super 50" 50mm conversion, and it can use the Bushmaster IV that fires the same 40x365 as the bofors. The Bushmaster II-IV are all basically just scaled up M242s so reliability are going to be superb. Tbh any of the 5 options are good.
it's either 30mm or 35mm. everyone is looking at 35mm to upgrade existing stock, so they could have gone straight to 35mm
They did. It will be 35mm. It is logical from a logistical pov.
Another L for german MIC.
Czechs also plan to get 70 Leos 2A8
Based Checkoslovakians
No Czechoslovaks, just Czechs. Slovaks have currently highest approval rate of Russia in the EU (besides Hungary of course).
t. Czech
why are they such simps?
Two terms of that kokot Fico "helped" a lot in regards to widespread pro-Russian propaganda. His successor Matovič being a populist debil didn't helped either. At least his Minister of Defence Naď was decent.
Do czechs consider slovakia "lost territory" so to speak or did you guys just want to get rid of them and never looked back?
Slovaks are our retarded younger brothers who speak funny. Welcome to visit and send their fertile women, but otherwise it's a good thing they live far to the east.
Do they sound texan, canadian, australian, cockney or what?
I don't think there is any comparison with English accents. Slovak is very soft, even softer than Czech which is already extremely soft sounding language. It sounds very hot with women and very gay with men.
It was never part of historical realm of Bohemian kingdom, unlike some parts of Poland and Germany (Silesia rightfull clay) and we only helped them to get rid of their longtime Hungarian overlords after WW1. It was mostly utilitarian decision tough and so it didn't last.
Pretty much what the other anon said here
no. while during the split, lots of people were against it especially since to the PMs just decided it themselves and there wasn't even a referendum, i'm confident vast majority of czechs (slovaks probably too since if nothing else they can leave to czechia) are happier this way. especially since we have enough retarded politicians and we don't need more of them, slovaks to that. (we already have babis in high politics)
Babis is just Czech Trump, Fico is more of Slovak Yanukovych.
Not in the slightest. Slovaks are bros and I wish them all the best.
There were genuine issues with representation and even a bit of resentment for some shitty czechification practices. So good on them for having their own country.
Slovaks are a primitive Hunngolian tribe and I am happy we got rid of them. Not like it helped though, there is like half a million of these monkeys living here.

We're bros. But we grew up and parted ways, for the better and for the worse
Personally, I wish we still had some form of united dual state, but eh, it would probably not work

He's a batshit kokotleba drone, just ignore him.
And I'm goddamn proud of it
It was about a fucking time for our army to replace the BMP trash. Hopefully we can get Leos 2A7 as soon as possible and transfer upgraded T72M4 to the reservists. There is still plenty of things in the army to modernized and I hope we will produce more homemade stuff. Imo we should concentrate on developing our own small arms and ATGMs. All wishful thinking since our next government of ANOcucks and SPDfags will nuke the shit out of military budget for gibs.
>our next government of ANOcucks and SPDfags will nuke the shit out of military budget for gibs
Sad true. ANO has one policy and one policy only. Gibs.
I don't think they'll straight up form coalition with SPD tough. More likely it'll be quiet support same as they did before with fucking Commies.
Ass is in the ass but at least we still have some time left.
Idk. It's in their blood I guess.
Based. So glad it wasn’t the 40mm variant.
>swedish weapons will be at the gates of prague again...
Noooooo!
Pretty dumb decision to buy that many of them, especially, when the country is going to hit the debt ceiling in less than 2 years.
Czechs have 400 BMP 2s
Sweden or Czechia?
Anything been said yet on the potential of them buying F-35s?
We don't even know if they manage to sign the contract at all. Otherwise the next government will just cancel the procurement, and then pay even more for JAS-39E, and we will be lucky if they would at least insist on new airframes.
>JAS-39E, and we will be lucky if they would at least insist on new airframes.
All gripen erik are new airframes because its like 0.7m longer than the ceasar version.
They do look almost identical though
Burgerclap seething, you love to see it.
Hello newgay. Did you forget half your post? The more important part, with the source.
Source is the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic. BAE was the only company to meet Czech requirements.
Puma didn’t meet price requirement but was the favorite from the same source
wow that camo is amazing, i couldnt see what it was in the thumbnail.
