Main attractions for IDET 2025 visitors
The main attraction at our stand will be the Bushmaster armoured vehicle, which VOP CZ will present in cooperation with the European company Thales. In the future, the state-owned enterprise has the ambition to become the centre of production and service of these vehicles for the region of Central and Eastern Europe.
Another attraction will be a unique 1:1 development model of the CV90 ambulant version of the armoured vehicle that the state enterprise is developing for the Czech army. This year's IDET will thus be an exceptional opportunity for the general and professional public to take a look under the hood of the CV90 development and project.
