Overview

The armed forces of the Czechia, known as the "Czech Armed Forces," consist of several branches, each with specific responsibilities:

  • Czech Army (Armáda České republiky): The Czech Army is responsible for land-based military operations, including infantry, armored units, artillery, and support units. It plays a crucial role in national defense and international peacekeeping missions.
  • Czech Navy (Vojenská správa lodí): The Czechia is a landlocked country, so it does not have a traditional navy. However, it operates riverine vessels for tasks such as river patrols and transportation on internal waterways.
  • Czech Air Force (Vojenské letectvo): The Czech Air Force is responsible for aerial defense and operations, with fighter aircraft, transport planes, and helicopters ensuring air superiority and national defense.
