[Pibwl]

OOb37 Czechoslovakia / Czech Republic

074 Strela-2 Team - withdrawn from use years ago.

RBS-70 is used from around 2006-2007 instead - Swedish OOB77 weapon 192 RBS-70 Mk 2 SAM and picture 36400.

In 10/21 Czechia received new RBS-70NG. Probably it's better, but we haven't this weapon.

According to https://www.czdefence.com/article/to...ela-10-systems at the same time there were wihdrawn 070 Strela-10M.

059 2K12 Kub M+ - from 2007 Czech Kubs had modernized radars (SURN CZ), so it's worth to create another unit with better radar (possibly named Kub CZ). It was planned to use them until missiles' expiry in 2017, but apparently they are still in use


552 Mi-2 - according to Polish article, actually withdrawn in 2018 (now 110)

Between 2020-21 part of Mi-17 were modernized to special forces variant Mi-171SM, with light cab armour (possibly implemented on some earlier versions), Minigun and FLIR.

(Some English sources call it Mi-171ShM, but Roman alphabet special letters are not transcribed like Cyrilic)


In 2023 there are expected deliveries of AH-1Z and UH-1Y helicopters, but I don't known the armament https://www.key.aero/article/ah-1z-a...czech-republic
