Yesterday, we informed you about the visit of the Swedish Ambassador,
Annika Ben David, and the British Ambassador, Bilal Zahid, to several companies
involved in the production of the CV90, including our company KOVAL SYSTEMS, a.
s. Today, we bring you more: authentic statements, specific facts, and a look behind the scenes of production through a just-released video report.
Swedish Ambassador Annika Ben David speaks about the first concrete results of the memorandum between the governments of Slovakia and Sweden. According to her, the CV90 project is proof that cooperation brings real results, not just political statements.
British
Ambassador Bilal Zahid considers the CV90 program an example of how
international partnerships can positively translate into a functioning defense
industry and the strengthening of European security.
Michal Baláž, CEO of MSM Land Systems, also talks about the practical
side of the project, describing assembly, testing and technical
support of vehicles. The technological dimension of the cooperation is further highlighted by
Richard Varga, Chairman of the Board of Virtual Reality Media. He presents
their contribution to the CV90 project in the form of authentic cabin and
systems simulators. These enable safe, repeatable, and tactical crew training.
The current progress of work on the CV90 MkIV vehicles in
our company is commented by the Sales Director and Chairman of the Board - Ján
Michálek. He explains that currently in KOVAL SYSTEMS, a. s.:
