Tank Day 2010

[DRG]

I'm trying to sort out exactly what's going on regarding the Pandur and the Czech republic

It's on, it's off, It's on but there are corruptions issues so maybe it's off and AMV gets the contract but then it's seems to be going ahead

I'm running out of answers I can trust from English sources so perhaps someone in the Czech Republic can enlighten me as to what's going on with this order as of today ??

It also looks like , from all the photos I've seen that the Czech version has the 30mm RWS. What gun is it ?

On the RCWS-30 system.

Did a search for STEYR-DAIMLER-PUCH which was broken up in the 90's. General Dynamics owns the STEYR group that makes the PANDUR. All they had on the site was a couple press releases concerning they got the contract dated on JAN. 2006.
