Tatra 815-7 8x8 PRAM
POPULATION
Since it has been used with the testing Mk.III+ vehicle and its E30 turret, during Czech and Slovak military trials. And was also presented with the CV9035 Mk.IV already.
Bren 3 is a multicaliber (5.56x45/.300 AAC Blackout) short stroke piston, modular system, that comes with different barrel lengths, charging handles, handguards and 2 types of stocks.
4th rapid deployment brigade "Obrany národa" and 7th mechanized brigade "Dukelská" also need support vehicles. That is being taken care of as well.
By 2035, Bundeswehr plans to have 10 (+3 units from 🇳🇱 deeply integrated into German Forces) separate artillery battalions on corps, divisional and brigade level
2) Vehicles will be based on Tatra 815-7T3RC1 8x8.1R chassis, will have 4-door armored cabin (either KAPA or new 3rd gen) and new Tatra V12 Euro 3 Air-cooled diesel engine
Lets start where it started. Sweden. Mk.0, used to this day as Strf9040A/B/C.
TDV is a company, that started as a sidekick of Tatra Trucks Kopřivnice. While specializing in armored cabins for Tatras at first. (You can see their lvl 2 armored cabs used by Ukrainian Neptun ASM for example.) 
12x Scania R590 8x4 with Hammar 190 HB sideloaders. 434 kw engine.
First let me say one thing, in this thread, we will not go into AZ (active reservists) that are serving in separate groups/platoons/companies under proffessional units of Land Forces, Air Force, Cybernetic warfare and information operations forces and 
Only 107 were procured in 2009. Yet initially in 2006, it was agreed upon that 199 (plus 40 as an option) shall be bought...
⬇️2/x Strv122 and CV9040. 
A bit more of CV90
This means that Czech Armed Forces will have in total 100 MBTs and over 20 support tanks by 2030. Plus 30 T-72M4CZ will likely stay in deep reserves among other support tanks.
With complete modernization of 7th mechanized brigade as a heavy element, with Leopards 2A8 and CV90mk.IV. Czech High Command doesnt want 4th brigade to be left behind and so it wants to modernize and build up capabilities of this medium brigade as well
While this tank still retains multiple flaws of the T-72 design. The T-72M4CZ is actually a very decent modernization that arguably puts it very close to most modern Russian MBTs.
Even though the CV-90 was born in the 90´s, the Mk.IV (being its latest version), actually offers a decent hardware and software solutions package, that arguably still puts it in the tier one of the current IFV design. 
Lets get right into it. When talking about civil protection system of Prague. The most important and most capable is its metro. How? Well. Because Prague metro system isnt your usual metro. Apart from the basic transportation and the "standard" that passengers see everyday
Minimi Mk.3 7,62x51 (and few 5.56x45) was chosen as a next logical step for Czech Armed Forces that has been using Minimi Mk.2 (Mk.48) for 18 years. 
As usual. From people who like to talk (write) first, think later (or never really).
