About hundred tanks were lightly reconstructed to T-72 M1CZ and have been saving in stores till now. In the ‘90s, the new Czech Government ordered modernization of 353 pieces.

MoD assumed to purchase new tanks for the Czech Army in a range of 30 - 40 new tanks for at the most of 15 milliard CZK in the period of 2026 to 2029. As he said, the contract would be concluded till the end of this year, and modernization of the tanks is planned to be proceed in the period of 2020 to 2023. “The Fire Control Systems and radio stations are ranked among the most important systems,” said Petr Sýkora from the Press Department of the Ministry of Defence. The state enterprise VOP CZ ought to replace armoured car’s systems and components, which are obsolete or non-repairable or haven’t been already manufactured, for about 908 million CZK without VAT. In June of this year, Minister of Defence Lubomír Metnar (ANO) informed the Government on an order for modernization and technical evaluation of the T-72M4CZ tanks. The service life of the tanks of the Czech Army will expire in 2025.
