Czech Republic plans advanced air and missile defense by 2030.
The Czech Republic has unveiled a strategic plan to develop an advanced integrated air and missile defense system by 2030, aligning with NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence framework. This initiative aims to address diverse aerial threats, including hypersonic missiles and drones, as the Czech Army prepares detailed recommendations for a multi-layered defense architecture. The plan is bolstered by a commitment to increase defense spending to at least 3% of GDP, amidst growing security concerns in Europe. Recent acquisitions, including the Israeli SPYDER system and fifth-generation F-35 fighters, underscore the Czech Republic’s dedication to modernizing its military capabilities, enhancing both national resilience and its role as a dependable NATO ally in Central Europe.
