Most Czech missiles past their sell-by date

The technical lifespan of almost all of the missiles being used by the Czech military has expired, the Supreme Audit Office said on Thursday. In some cases, a missile’s expiry date had been exceeded over three times. The president of the Audit Office, František Dohnal, said that this posed a serious security risk and that the reliable use of these missiles could no longer be guaranteed. The military has just bought 16 new Swedish RBS missiles, though it still has some missile systems in place dating from the Cold War era.
