Review for defence and security industry 3/2025

Dear Readers,

The third issue of this year is dedicated primarily to our presentation at NATO Days in Ostrava, as well as a look back at the IDET, ISET, and PYROS 2025 exhibitions in Brno, and of course the General Assembly of the AOBP, which marked a record intake of new member companies.

Although this edition was prepared during the so-called “summer lull,” we succeeded in bringing together a number of highly interesting articles and interviews, particularly with key representatives of the Czech security forces and the defence and security industry.

As always, Review offers a broad selection of company presentations and insights from across the Czech defence and security industry—fulfilling its main mission of supporting stronger communication between the state and industry within the defence and security community.

When mentioning this year’s most significant events in the Czech Republic, I cannot overlook the very successful traditional event CIHELNA 2025 in Králíky, which celebrated more than a quarter of a century of its existence.

MS Line Publishing House and the editorial team of Review greatly appreciate that a large share of Czech defence and security companies continue to choose this magazine to present their activities. In recent editions, we have focused especially on showcasing medium and smaller enterprises—and we intend to continue in this direction. The membership base of the AOBP, which has grown by a record number of more than 100 new members and now brings over 220 companies, confirmed its strength and determination at the 29th General Assembly in May.

I would also like to extend my thanks to our distinguished Editorial Board, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of the Interior and their executive bodies—the Armed Forces, the Police, and the Fire Rescue Service—as well as the Czech Customs Administration, the Prison Service, and the Administration of State Material Reserves. Their support of our work and active involvement in creating this magazine form a unique community—one that is original and unparalleled not only in the Czech Republic.

By way of introduction, these words will suffice, as I trust every reader will find many new and useful insights in the following pages.

Sincerely,
Ing. Miloš Soukup
Editor-in-Chief
