Shift in Slovak Defense Priorities
Slovakia plans to halt production of the Zuzana 2 system, a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, in favor of the lighter and more modern Eva system.
The decision is reportedly influenced by lessons from the Russo-Ukrainian war, which has reshaped global demand for artillery systems.
The war in Ukraine "killed" the Zuzana 2 system's chances on the international market.
Modern buyers now prefer lighter, more mobile, and highly automated systems that prioritize crew safety and rapid redeployment.
- Production of the Zuzana 2 system will be phased down.
- Resources will be shifted toward the development and manufacturing of the Eva artillery system.
