Speaking about the vehicles only specialized transporters in version 6 Command and military staff and 14 communications. The estimated value of the contract, which has also consist of a package of training and logistics will amount to 1.274 billion kronor (200 million PLN), and delivery is scheduled for the years 2018-2020. This topic and the issue of purchasing additional five chassis Tatra T-815-7-D (8x8) under the technical security cars (along with specialist superstructure value of 163 million kroner) has been the subject of government meeting of 20 August. The cars are hit to 4. Rapid Reaction Brigade consisting of two mechanized battalions (41 and 42), amphibious assault battalion (43) and motorized (44).
The Czech military underline the attention to public finances. Comparing the number of purchased transporters to wynegocjonowanych in 2006 prices, bring the current contract is 316 million kroner savings. Probably will be close to a binding agreement in 2009. Command vehicle version would cost in the words of the minister of defense of the 20 million kronor (3.14 million PLN) less communication about the 14 million kronor (2.2 million PLN).
Transporters Pandur II 8x8 will provide the company Excalibur Army, a former army contractor offering cars together with General Dynamics. Signing of the agreement is expected later this year. Interestingly, the Czechs do not make weapons in the battle for the Slovak market. They offer installation and tracked transporters Pandur ascod Slovakia. From the Warsaw government of Prime Minister Fico has signed so far only a letter of intent, and the procedure of choice for the indication and not in the form of an open tender, raises considerable doubt on the spot.
