We will not fulfill allied commitments. The President shattered the new military concept for the government.

President Petr Pavel criticized the proposed military development concept for 2040, stating it fails to meet NATO obligations and readiness for high-intensity conflicts. He emphasized that the Czech army is not fulfilling 70% of capability goals required by allies, with significant delays in resource-intensive areas. The updated concept aims for a fully capable army but is limited by planned funding. Pavel noted that the government must prioritize national security alongside other issues. The cabinet is set to approve the document, which outlines key military priorities, including the completion of a heavy brigade and modernization efforts.
