Rheinmetall has confirmed a contract to deliver 14 additional Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks (MBTs) to the Czech Republic, following an agreement signed by Björn Bernhard, CEO of Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH, and Lubor Koudelka, Director General of the Armaments and Acquisition Division at the Czech Ministry of Defence. Valued at EUR 161 million, the contract covers the supply of fully refurbished tanks—sourced primarily from former Swiss inventories—along with associated ammunition and comprehensive logistics support. The MBTs will be upgraded to meet Czech-specific requirements, with deliveries slated for completion by the end of 2026.
