Czech Air Force UH-1Y Venom helicopters from 22nd Helicopter Air Force Base at Tiger Meet 2026.

With the arrival of C-390, 24th Air Transportation Base will have 4 types of fixed wing transport aircraft in its inventory C-390 C-295M/MW L-410 (3 types) A-319CJ In total 16 aircrafts.

@Marebu3 @NAFOfrumzl Rear part and parts of wings as well. Here in Czechia.

@NAFOfrumzl the middle part of the plane is actually produced in Europe

Listen, I am all in for 🇪🇺 manufacturers. Yet, that plane... damn, design goes hard !

First Czech Embraer C-390 in its brand new camouflage scheme of the Czech Air Force. It will soon land at 24th Air Transportation Base Praha-Kbely.

@diesirae_10 Co přesně?

@Danny_elMayor Logistika 1980s, tohle mělo být v kontejneru...

It also should be noted that more of 3rd generation will follow relatively soon. Service&repair vehicles for CV90 and artillery, artillery munition supply vehicles and 8x8 flatbeds.

@TyfaTomas No, not for those it seems.

@Danny_elMayor No multispectral camouflage?

Tatra PRAM/M. This is a first example of the newest Tatra FORCE of 3rd generation in service of the Czech Armed Forces. It utilizes new Tatra Defence armored cabin. PRAM/M 8x8 are for support of Titus 6x6 KOVVŠ (staff-command vehicles).

@MBlochBerlin These have Tatra engines and transmissions. Most of the subcomponents for engines are Czech-made as well

@Danny_elMayor Does Tatra uses self developed engines or which supllier do they use? Cummins?

🇨🇿#Czechia: Aero Vodochody (@AERO_Vodochody), a Czech aircraft manufacturer and a subsidiary of Omnipol (@Omnipol1934), announced that it has delivered 14 new L-39 Skyfox training aircraft to customers in 2025. At the same time, contracts for the delivery of L-39 Skyfox aircraft to Africa and North America are expected to be finalized soon. Last year, revenue totaled CZK 6.5 billion (~$310 million), and profit rose by 402% to CZK 512 million (~$24.4 million).

@praisethesteph @BillCipher_Here Přesněji 4 osoby osádky v případě Caesaru. Jinak 👍

Každá houfnice má pro a proti. Mně osobně se na houfnicích Dita a Morana líbí, že oproti TMG houfnicím potřebuješ pro plnohodnotný provoz méně lidí - přesněji řečeno 2-3 vs. 5 u Caesaru (byť výrobce uvádí, že nouzově stačí 3). Další výhoda je, že posádka pracuje z bezpečí pancéřové kabiny a nemusí běhat kolem houfnice v nepříznivém počasí, kde jsou taky více zranitelní. Osobně bych byl pro Moranu, pokud by byla ready, čistě z důvodu podpory domácího výrobce, ale v současnosti je nejvhodnější pro potřeby AČR Caesar a zrušení tohoto kontraktu by mělo za důsledek zpoždění obměny výzbroje 13.dp a kluci by dál museli hoblovat staré Dany, které měly to nejlepší za sebou už před dlouhou dobou a v současnosti je v provozu drží jen zbožné přání.

@ronkainen7k15 @praisethesteph Yes but important part here is "inherently multirole", APS/VPS being put together for RPS-600 while "the latter being more oriented towards C-UAV systems" "support variety of missions simultaneously"

@Danny_elMayor @praisethesteph RADA currently offers the RPS-620/aCHR, rather than the RPS-600 used on AFVs, for Iron Fist C-UAS. As with any design, there are trade-offs. The RPS-620 is optimized for low, slow, small UAS targets, at the expense of some performance against traditional high-speed threats.

🇩🇪#Germany: At the Eurosatory 2026, taking place from June 15 to 19 in Paris, Rheinmetall will present an upgraded version of the Lance 2 turret featuring counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAS) capabilities. Thanks to its 30x173 mm MK30-2 auto-cannon, which is capable of firing programmable ammunition, and its advanced targeting sensors, the Lance 2 turret is designed to destroy various categories of drones at longer ranges.

@ronkainen7k15 @praisethesteph of the CV90 detection suite (DAS) and it has its use also in aerial threats detection, and while there are the SW defined specifics.

@ronkainen7k15 @praisethesteph of the COAPS, there is also this usage of the IF. And since there is the target solution and sit. awareness sharing between the vehicles, lets say half of the platoon can be "switched" to primary C-UAS, while the other half to the general config. Point is, aCHR is part

@praisethesteph About RADA Achr, they can since Iron Fist is C-UAS capable. RCWS can be mounted instead of commander sight.

@praisethesteph Both EO and active radar in case of D30. Acoustic sensor is fine for many applications, but its more of an situational awareness solution, than one providing exact target solution. Also in first line combat application, where it gets loud, acoustic detection will be limited.

@ronkainen7k15 @praisethesteph This argument would have worked if Iron Fist was not C-UAS capable, which is not the case anymore. So yes, CV90 and its EO and radar suite is C-UAS enabled. Not to speak about UTAAS that is able to engage aerial targets from start. Now this option was just taken step further

@Danny_elMayor @praisethesteph aCHR offers RPS-620 for CUAS, but its waveform, update rate, tracking priorities differ greatly. C-UAS is optimized for small and slow, while APS counters high-speed at very short range. Despite being software-defined, rapidly switching between roles in combat is impractical.
