NATO member Slovakia, which shares a border with Ukraine, said Tuesday it plans to buy 152 tracked combat vehicles from Sweden's BAE Systems Hagglunds as it steps up its military capabilities.
"The government has approved this historic project for the armed forces," Defence Minister Jaroslav Nad said on his Facebook page.
"We're going to increase Slovakia's defensive capacities and meet our obligations to create a heavy mechanised brigade," he added.
BAE Systems Hagglunds' CV90 is a tracked combat vehicle with a turret-mounted cannon that can be considered a light tank or armoured personnel carrier.
