Czech T-72s look to get on track for NATO
Article Abstract:
The Czech Republic has launched a program to modernize a part of its fleet of main battle tanks in line with its efforts to become a member of NATO. The program will upgrade the Czech military's fleet of T-72 tanks to NATO technical standards, allowing the tanks to operate alongside the equipment of other NATO members. Already, an Israeli consortium led by NIMDA has been awarded the mobility contract while other aspects of the upgrade are still up for grabs.

AIP appeals particularly to Third World navies becuase it is perceived as economically, politically and technologically feasible. Pakistan, for instance, has placed an order for three Agosta-90 B class submarines with France, making Pakistan the first Third World nation to operate an AIP boat.
