The Czech armored vehicle manufacturer SVOS Prelouc officially protested against the Defence Ministry's report that SVOS's vehicle Perun, developed for special forces, did not pass military testing, the company told CTK today.
The company said the ministry's tests were non-standard.
The Defence Ministry has withdrawn from the purchase contract with SVOS Prelouc on August 9, the ministry's spokesman Jan Pejsek said later today.
The Perun vehicles failed to meet 85 percent of the assessed criteria, including key parameters that influence the reliability of the vehicles, Pejsek told CTK.
SVOS said it has provided all relevant materials, including a list of contract breaches, to an attorney's office and expects to defend itself by requesting the completion of the military tests in accordance with the original purchase agreement.
