Yesterday 15.10.2025, we welcomed a significant delegation from the PATRIA company to EVPÚ.
This meeting is an important step forward in our cooperation, which is focused on a key modernization project for the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic – the 8×8 Combat Armoured Vehicle (BOV 8×8).
We discussed the progress and integration of our TURRA 30 combat turret. Today, we can clearly state that our technologies for the BOV 8×8 project are fully prepared and verified for implementation!
We look forward to continuing this collaboration with our partners from PATRIA to deliver vehicles to our armed forces that meet the highest requirements for safety and performance.
Thank you to our partners for the visit and the constructive discussion.
Together, we are moving Slovak defence capability to a new level.
