The first parts of the new Spyder anti-aircraft defence system, acquired by the Czech army from Israel, have arrived in Czechia, Czech Radio’s news site iROZHLAS.cz wrote on Saturday. They are now being assembled at the Military Technical Institute in Prague.
The contract for the delivery of four batteries of the Israeli Spyder system was signed by the defence ministry in 2021. It is to replace the Soviet-made 2K12 KUB equipment, which is more than 40 years old. Each unit contains a radar, four launchers, a charging vehicle and fire command and control system.
