Defence companies in the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic has become one of the more active defence exporters in Central Europe, partly through Czechoslovak Group (CSG), a privately held conglomerate that produces ammunition, armoured vehicles and small arms across dozens of subsidiaries. Aero Vodochody, the historic aircraft manufacturer based outside Prague, has seen renewed interest with the L-39NG trainer jet winning several international contracts. Czech defence spending crossed 2 % of GDP in 2024 and the government has committed to sustaining that level through the decade, supporting fresh hiring across Brno, Prague and the broader Bohemian industrial belt.
