| Comments | The Supreme Audit Office verified purchases, modernisation, repairs, and maintenance of armoured equipment of the Army of the Czech Republic conducted between 2016 and 2018. During this period, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) invested CZK 2.8 billion in new equipment, and it spent a further CZK 1.3 billion on repairs, maintenance, and spare parts. Despite these expenses, most of the armoured equipment was not operable. This may pose a threat to the operational readiness of the Army. All the audited purchases and service support were commissioned by the MoD on the basis of an exception to the law or in a negotiated procedure without prior publication. Dependence on suppliers or expensive repairs and maintenance of armoured equipment is also a problem. |
