Zuzana brings NATO standard firepower to Slovak Army
Article Abstract:
The army of Slovakia placed in May 1998 an order for 38+2 155-millimeter Zuzana self-propelled artillery systems, which will establish Slovakia as the first ex-Warsaw-Pact country to adopt an artillery system that satisfies the standards set by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. The Zuzana self-propelled gun-howitzer will serve as the foundation of the Slovak Army's new artillery brigade, which will be made up of mortar batteries with eight 98-millimeter mortars each and Zuzana self-propelled artillery batteries with eight vehicles each.

Uganda pays over the odds for tanks that will not work
Article Abstract:
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has ordered an investigation into an apparently anomalous purchase of T-55 tanks from Eastern Europe. The 90-tank deal was estimated to cost $35 million even as only five of the tanks arrived in working condition. One official said that a tank in the deal cost $450,000, although the top price of a T-55, with spares, is typically about $50,000 in Eastern Europe.
