Let me tell you more info about this interesting system. These inflatable decoys made by czech company Inlfatech are made of synthetic silk so they are light and durable. This STARKOM (Czech Army EW system) decoy weighs just 32 kg. What is more interesting is, that they have 1/3 ImageImage
Heat emitors and radar reflectors inside. Meaning it looks like a real vehicle under thermovision or on Radar. According to the company and tests, current drones with most advanced sensors cant tell decoy from real thing on 1 500 metres. They are being fielded by Czech Army 2/3 ImageImage
Inlfatech have been sending its decoys to Ukraine since the start of the war. 3/3 ImageImage

Okay. Let me clear the air about Leopards, Leopards 2A8 to be specific, that should be ready for serial production by 2025 and Czechia wants tu buy up to 77, including support versions.

THREAD 1/X Image
So far we know, that Czechia wants 77 tanks with 48 of them to be MBTs plus around 8 command. So 56 total of combat Leo2A8 (rest of 77 will be said support).

Czech defence minister Černochová was authorized two days ago to start preparing the deal, but talks are in progress 2/x
For about half a year now. It should come as a little surprise, that Czechia wants Leopards. They were our number one new tank candidate for a long time now. Not Abrams, not K2, but Leopard. Leopard2A8 being the most modern version seems like a perfect solution. 3/x

I have to say. Avia B-35/B-135 will always stay in my heart. 🇨🇿

Beatiful aircraft. Work on it started in 1936. First flight of B-35 was on 28th september 1938. Made by Czechoslovak company Avia and designed by Czech engineer Františkem Novotným and his team. 1/5 Image
It had Avia HS 12Ydrs engine with power of 860 HP and were able to speed up to almost 500 km/h. It was to be armed with 1x 20mm canon and 2x 7,92mm MGs. 2/5 ImageImageImageImage
First verion, B-35 had fixed landing gear, but supposed serial production version for Czechoslovakia called B-135 was made with retractable one, and also it was planned to equip it with more powerfull Avia 12Y-1000 engine with 1000 HP power. 3/5 Image

Interesting camo patterns of CzAF 🇨🇿. THREAD.

Seems like you really liked Vipers in standard CzAF pattern, now lets look at some unusual camo patterns used by Czech Air Force. Both fixed wing and rotary wing. 1/x Image
Lets start with Gripens. This one (1st and 2nd pic) got this paint scheme back in 2018, as part of celebration of 100 years of CzAF. Second one is using "NATO tiger" camo scheme to present 211st tactical squadron as part of NATO Tiger Association. 2/X ImageImageImageImage
L-159 ALCA. This is really interesting one. Let me present to you L-159 ALCA "Spitfire". I believe mainly Brits (@thinkdefence @nicholadrummond ) will appreciate that. It got this paint as a memorial of Czech pilots in service of RAF during WW2. 3/x ImageImageImageImage

Logistics. It isn´t so "sexy" topic as fighter jets, or tanks, or IFVs, but its absolutely crucial for warfare.

In AČR (Czech Armed Forces), logistic units are part of "Síly bojového zabezpečení" (forces of combat security/sustainment). Lets look at them closely.

THREAD 1/x Image
To understand Czech logistics. We need to start with units and their equipment, before we can get to details.

Units: First of all. Every combat (mechanized, tank etc.) or combat support (artillery, Air defence, engineers) battalion of AČR, have its own logistic company. 2/x Image
On top of that. There is 14th logistic regiment which is made of 141st and 143rd logistic battalions and 142nd repair battalion. Next is Center of operations support and battalion of support of deployable forces, which main task is to support allied forces on territory of 🇨🇿 3/x Image
