PRAGUE (Sputnik) – According to the defense ministry spokesperson, the Czech Republic is striving first of all to replace outdated Russian military equipment.
"First of all we want to eliminate the major shortfalls in the armaments of the ground forces before 2020," Miroslav Hlavac stressed on Friday.
