Get to know NATO (III.): excursion in Přáslavice

June 20th 2025 | Přáslavice

What is the mission of the 73rd Tank Battalion? Why are tanks still important in an era of increasing popularity of drones? Is it hard to learn to drive a tank? And how many crew members does a tank have?

Climbing into a Leopard, not everyone has experienced that. But some students from Sigmund Lutín Engineering High School have. In addition to the tank, they were also able to see other ground equipment, weapons and gear thanks to an excursion to the 73rd Tank Battalion. And they also got answers to all their curious questions.

The project “Get to know NATO” is supported by the PPF Foundation.
