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. Defence Minister Robert Kalinak confirmed that both platforms remain under evaluation and offer “40%-50% cost savings compared to the main battle tanks previously considered,” according to Slovakia-based reports.
