Czech MoD poised to secure Nexter 6x6, Iveco 4x4 procurement

[Zarvan]

The Czech Ministry of Defence (MoD) received approval from the cabinet of ministers on 24 July to procure 62 Nexter Titus 6x6 mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles and 80 Iveco 4x4 armoured modular vehicles (AMVs) for the Army of the Czech Republic (ACR) in 2020-24 worth a total of CZK9.5 billion (USD425 million).

The MoD expects to award a CZK4.8 billion contract in early 2018 to Tatra Export, a subsidiary of Czechoslovak Group, to supply the 62 Nexter Titus 6x6 MRAP vehicles to the ACR in 2020-24 for use as command-and-control platforms to better co-ordinate land forces, including more effectively directing artillery.

The Nexter Titus is probably more expensive cause its French.

Still though, a couple million per piece is an insane number for an APC.

They're probably not the same quality.

For that price the system better have the latest and most modern armor and gadgets on board of it because charging a couple million USD for a single APC is insane. You can buy modern MBT's with that price.
