Is Czech military industry really developed in a small European country?

The Czech Republic is a traditional military power in Europe.

As early as before World War II, the Czech Republic was the main military manufacturing base of Austria-Hungary.

Most of Austria-Hungary's weapons were made in the Czech Republic.

After World War I, France supported Czechoslovakia's independence and inherited the previous military tradition.

By the time Germany annexed Czechoslovakia in World War II, Czechoslovakia could already produce all kinds of arms and weapons, from tanks and cannons to high-quality light weapons.

There have been many excellent works in the Czech Republic, such as Czech light machine guns, 38T tanks, Skoda artillery, etc., all of which are the best weapons in the world.

During the Cold War, the Czech Republic has always been a famous arms power in Europe and even the world.

NATO experts once visited the Czech tank production line and found that the water bottles were very high and even used industrial robots.

In addition to tanks, Czech light weapons are famous all over the world. It can also produce high-quality artillery and famous trainers.

At that time, the Czech Republic was the fifth largest arms producer in Europe, second only to the four traditional powers.
