Slovakia shortlists Tulpar and CV90120 for new tank programme, rules out Leopard 2A8 and K2PL purchase
Slovakia's Ministry of Defence has narrowed its light tank programme to two candidates, the Turkish Otokar Tulpar and BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90120, excluding Germany’s Leopard 2A8 and the Korean-Polish K2PL Black Panther.

Slovakia is shortlisting the CV90120 and passing on the K2 and Leo 2A8.
It is half the price.
Lower running costs.
Uses a Slovakian designed autoloader.
Is a stablemate to the CV9035 that is being built in Slovakia by the company that builds the CV90120 autoloader.
I think the Turkish offer has an uphill climb.
