A proud day as the Flyer 72-HD has officially debuted in the Czech Republic.

The first vehicles were unveiled for the Czech Army's 43rd Airborne Regiment with senior U.S. and Czech leadership celebrating the moment, including U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Merrick.

Delivered together with our partner STV GROUP a.s. through the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program, these are the first of a 46-vehicle program bringing new speed, modularity, and air mobility to one of the Czech Army's finest airborne formations.

In the words of Ambassador Merrick, the Flyer 72-HD is "a symbol of what our alliance produces when we work together." 🤝

We couldn't be prouder to see these vehicles head into service. Read more here: https://flyerdefense.com/flyer-72-heavy-duty-vehicles-debut-in-the-czech-republic/
