US missile defence experts have finished examining the location of a planned US radar site in the Brdy military zone southwest of Prague. According to the Czech Defence Ministry, the 38-member team focused mainly on the hydrological and geological conditions in the area and the local transport infrastructure. The chief-of-staff of the Czech armed forces, Vlastimil Picek, said the exact location of the planned radar installation is still unknown but he said it will be built at a minimum distance of five kilometres from the nearest house.
