The army consists of the General Staff, the Land Forces, the Air Force and support units. Czech Army's main historical legacy and inspiration stems from the 15th century Hussite militia, which is credited with numerous warfare advancements, including introduction of firearms to field battles as well as the wagon fort strategy, called vozová hradba in Czech. Modern history precedes the 1918 Czechoslovak declaration of independence with formal establishment of the Czechoslovak Legion fighting on the side of the Entente powers during the WW1. Following the Munich Agreement, the country was occupied by Nazi Germany and the Army was reconstituted in exile, fighting on the side of Allies of World War II in the European as well as Mediterranean and Middle East theatre. After the 1948 Communist Coup, the Czechoslovak People's Army with over 200,000 active personnel and some 4,500 tanks formed one of the pillars of the Warsaw Pact military alliance. Following the Velvet Revolution and dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999. The conscription was abolished in 2004, leading to transformation into a modern professional army inspired mostly by the British Armed Forces and USMC example. Today, the Czech Army has 28.000 professional personnel and 4.200 members of active reserves. Additionally, any citizen can voluntarily join a five week basic training without becoming a soldier or join advanced shooting training with their privately owned firearms and become civilian reservist. A law adopted in June 2023 stipulates that the military expenditures shall not be lower than 2% of country's GDP, starting from 2024. _______________________________ ► More Military videos on:    / quasarentertainment   TWITEER:   / quasarenter   _______________________________ 00:00 CZECH ARMED FORCES 00:07 CZECH LAND FORCE 00:15 - Main battle tanks 00:47 - Infantry fighting vehicles 01:35 - Armoured vehicles 02:31 - Light off-road vehicle 03:03 - Trucks 04:07 - Military engineering 05:19 - Self-propelled howitzer 05:35 - Self-propelled mortar 05:51 - Surface-to-air missile systems 06:07 - Man-portable air-defense system 06:23 - Radars 07:19 - Electronic warfare 07:35 - Watercraft 08:15 CZECH AIR FORCE 08:23 - Combat aircraft 08:47 - Transport aircraft 09:19 - Helicopters 10:15 - Trainer aircraft and helicopters 11:03 - UAVs 11:51 FUTURE EQUIPMENTS #Czecharmy #Czecharmedforces #Czechairforce #full #review #equipment #CzechRepublic #army #forces
