KNDS has already produced the first two Caesar self-propelled artillery systems out of 62 ordered for the Czech army.
This was reported by the Czech media outlet Radiožurnál.
The self-propelled artillery systems are still at the factory in France. They are due to arrive in the Czech Republic in March 2025 after firing tests.
“This is a very important contract. It will make the Czech Republic one of the best-armed European countries in terms of artillery systems,” Gabriel Massoni, KNDS spokesman stated.
Czech order for Caesar self-propelled artillery systems
The Czech Republic ordered 52 Caesar self-propelled artillery systems in September 2021, but in December 2022 increased the order by another 10 vehicles. The total value of the contract is CZK 10.3 billion, or almost $451 million. It is planned that all the self-propelled systems will be delivered to the Czech army by the end of 2026.
