Assault rifles

HS Produkt VHS2 is a domestically produced assault rifle that has become a mainstay of the Croatian Army, having replaced the Zastava M70 in its entirety. Currently some 25000 VHS-2 rifles are in service with the armed forces, and 7800 older VHS rifles have been relegated to reserve and training units. The army also has a number of various NATO manufactured assault rifles including the FN F2000, Heckler & Koch G36, Heckler & Koch HK416, Colt M4 to name few.

At least 20 000 donated to Ukraine in 2022.[16]

Machine guns

The Croatian Army inherited a vast quantity of Yugoslav era weapons, including a massive quantity of small arms. Among these, some 1400 M84 Yugoslav made 7.62 machine guns and 6000 M77 light machine guns which were in use up to late 2022. Replacement of M84 machine gun was planned since Croatia joined NATO but due to cost of replacing large quantity of these machineguns, it was postponed till recently. The Croatian Army recently held an international competition for a light machine gun replacement and the FN M249 was chosen as the best option with the army as platoon support weapon in 7.62mm calibre and FN Minimi 5.56mm calibre was chosen as main squad support weapon. The army has purchased an undisclosed number of Heckler & Koch MG5 and MG4s, believed to be around 20-30 samples of these weapons.[17]

Tanks

Croatian Army currently operates 75 M84A4 tanks, these tanks received some significant upgrades over the years, however M84 tanks have no perspective beyond 2027 and will be replaced by modern NATO tank in form of Leopard 2A8 German made main battle tank. [43] [44] [45] Croatia will replace its entire fleet of M84A4 tanks with Leopard 2A8 tanks and initially half of M84 tanks are expected to be donated to Ukraine as early as late 2025. In turn Germany will deliver initial batch of 15 Leopard 2A8 tanks sometimes in late 2025 or early in 2026, when final batch of M84A4 tanks are expected to be delivered to Ukraine. In all Croatia is expected to replace M84A4 tanks on one to one basis with number of support tanks also being ordered. In all Croatia intends to purchase 75 Leopard 2A8, 5 BPz3 Büffel ARV, 5Kodiak AEV and 5 Leguan AVLB. Total purchase cost is expected to be in the region of €1.75 billion with Croatian Army receiving some discounts as this purchase is negotiated with several other EU/NATO member states. [46]

ModelImageTypeOriginNumberDetails

75 All M-84A tanks brought to this standard by 2008. The fleet is currently undergoing overhauls and light upgrades, mainly to the communication systems, with roughly 50 tanks having already gone through the process by 2023. A more thorough upgrade is still being considered seen as most of the tanks are only halfway through their life span. The last batch of 5 tanks was delivered as late as 2003.
Leopard 2 A8 30+ Initial order for 30+ tanks, total requirement for 75 Tanks + 15 Support tanks based on Leopard 2 platform. [47] Once Leopard tanks are delivered Croatia will retire M84 tanks with most tanks very likely being donated to Ukraine.

Tracked vehicles

During the Croatian Homeland War for independence from what was Yugoslavia, The Croatian Army captured large stock of heavy ex-Yugoslav military equipment this also included 128 M80A Infantry Fighting Vehicles developed in late 70s. In 2000s, of 128 serviceable M80A vehicles, 95 vehicles were deployed in to two mechanised infantry battalions, with 44 vehicles per battalion; further seven vehicles were used for driver and familiarization training. With Croatian accession in to NATO in 2009, M80A vehicles were deemed incompatible for the modern integrated battlefield, and further upgrades were deemed unfeasible due to lack of spares and poor performance of M80A vehicle. In 2022, Croatia agreed purchase of 89 M2a2 ODS Bradley vehicles. 62 Bradley M2 Vehicles will be deployed with a single mechanised battalion and further 22 Bradley vehicles will act as spares for operational Bradley vehicles. It is not clear if Croatia will order further Bradley vehicles or Army will try to secure entirely new infantry fighting vehicles in form or latest CV-90. As things stand, Army will have 2 Mechanised infantry battalions armed with M80A and a single battalion armed with Bradley M2A2 ODS. It is not clear if M2A2 ODS will be upgraded to improved version such as M2A4, if Army continues to rely on current version, M2A2 ODS, that indicates that Army plans to use Bradley as a stop gap measure and there are plans to purchase entirely new Infantry Fighting vehicle in form of CV-90 or something similar.

Further donations of the same vehicle are likely, Heavy Mechanized Brigade will need to replace 128 M80A IFVs, and the replacement with M2 Bradley is being considered. Order also includes over 1700 BGM-71 TOW missiles of all sorts with support and spare package worth $757 million. 8 to be ready by the end of the year.[49] [50] [51] [52] [53]

Wheeled armoured personnel vehicles

Croatian Army currently relies on a number of western made armoured personnel carriers, with nearly 500 of various APCs in service with the army. Mainstay of the army is Patria AMV amroured personnel carrier, 126 of which are in service. Army plans to purchase at least 30 additional Patria AMVs all IFV configured with 30mm remote weapon station and vehicle launched anti tank guided missile launchers. It is not clear if Army will opt for Elbit Duos 30mm remote weapon station which army initially purchased for its 9 Patria vehicles due to ongoing conflict in middle east. Army still has requirement for at least 70 additional specialist APCs configured for a number of support roles.

Additional 30 vehicles in[54] IFV configuration are to be ordered and armed with the UT30MK2 turret armed with a 30mm cannon and twin Spike LR launchers. This would bring the number of IFV configured Patria AMVs to 36 and the total number of Patria AMVs in Croatian Army service to 156.[55] [56] On the 18/01/2023 a document was released in which the army plans to order an unknown number (likely 30 of which 27 to be armed with 30mm weapons stations of vehicles worth 118,455,106.00 EURO.

Anti-aircraft warfare

The Croatian Army is heavily reliant on short range air defence systems such as the Strijela - 10CROA1, which although modernized offers only limited surface to air cover inadequate to deal with modern threats of UAV attack drones and other threats. The Army short-term plan includes purchase of short and medium range surface to air missile batteries. Initially plan was to look at NASAMSIII/ER, Mica VL/NG and SPYDER as likely contenders however Mica VL/NG was chosen, most likely due to the Croatian Air Force purchase of Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. The Croatian Army plans to acquire up to 4 surface to air batteries batteries in a deal worth around €500 million.[67] The short range system also being french in this case Mistral, with Mica VL providing medium range air defence. Both systems will enter service in 2024 and 2026. Croatia has opted for purchase of the new Mica VL/NG[68] missiles, with an extended range to over 50 km, when they become available, Croatia has a requirements for at least 4 medium range surface to air batteries or 24 launchers with up to 144 missiles. Long range air defence is yet to be decided on, however with recent purchase of Mistral ER and very likely Mica VL NG, it wouldn't be unusual if Croatia opted for Aster SAMP/T NG long range air defence systems when it becomes available, however any purchase of such air defence system would happen in late 2020s.[18]

Unmanned aerial vehicles

With formation of Objavestajna Pukovnija (Signals Intelligence & Electronic Warfare) in 2019 Croatian Army has amalgamated all relevant signal and electronic communication and electronic warfare units under one umbrella of Signals Intelligence & Electronic Warfare regiment, with this SIGNAT/EW regiment inherited what limited resources Croatian army has, which includes noumber of Israeli made Skylark, Orbiter 3b and domestically produced Bojnik UAV,[86] [87] [88] [89] of which several are still operational Croatian Army has started to test domestically manufactured arial drones and UAV, .,[90] [91] Army has tested noumber of domestically produced attack and surveillance drones with aim of purchasing large noumber of these.[92] [93] There are 4-5 local manufacturers who are capable of making advanced drones, very likely they'll play important role in supplying Croatian army with a new drones and uavs. However, an order for additional 6-7 orbiter 3b UAVs has been made as an interim solution.

Currently Army operates noumber of DJI Inspire and DJI MAvic 2, deployed along battalion and Company level, units, with estimated 20-30 or so tiny drones that aren't really designed for military operations.[94] Croatian Armed Forces Drone command was established at Pula airport and airbase [95] which up to 2020 was used primarily for Tourist arrivals. Croatian Army started to test locally developed loitering munition of yet unknown Croatian producer, but Croatia has many decades of experience in manufacturing unmanned drones and locally there are at least half a dozen manufacturers with the technology and know-how.[96] [97] A noumber of AeroVironment RQ-20 Puma unmanned aerial drones were purchased from US as an interim solution. Army plans to introduce noumber of domestically produced drones which are still under development or in a testing phase.

Army Radars, Communications and Reconnaissance Equipment

Croatian Army inherited large stock of Yugoslav communication and reconnaissance equipment mostly through capture during the war of Croatian independence in early 1990s. Modernization of communication, data network and reconnaissance vehicles and equipment started only after 2010 with purchase of large noumber of communication and secure data sets from United States, the UK and France. Donations of data network by US in particular helped Croatian Army's to equip most of its combat and support units with latest NATO standard equipment but also enabled Army to integrate link 16 data sharing network with most of its assets, however this does not include older equipment that is scheduled for retirement in next few years. Army' hopes to integrate all its assets and be able to share data when needed on the battlefield with all NATO partners therefore be fully integrate into NATO's defence structure.[100]

Army currently uses mix of US, UK and French communication equipment provided by 3 major defence suppliers, Thales, Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and Harris L3Harris Technologies.

Army Medical Equipment

Croatian Army is currently equipped with an army field hospital but hospital isn't suitable for major emergency operations and lacks ability to operate in combat theatre supporting army when required. However Army has purchased large field hospital from US for $6.07 million in 2021. Role 2B military field hospital is designed to provide emergency care in combat theatre of operations.[112] Army has requirement for at least 2 Role 2B field hospitals which are designed to provide support for standard NATO Brigade size formations or between 4000 and 7000 personnel [113] in a theatre of combat operations. Currently Army plans to equip one field Role 2B hospital and expand it as per requirements. Army has already purchased number of medical vehicles and is negotiating noumber of helicopters to compliment this branch of Croatian Army.[114]

Army Logistics, Military trucks and Multi-use vehicles

The Croatian Army inherited a vast stock of trucks, four wheel drive, various transport and utility vehicles during the Croatian War of Independence and the Battle of the Barracks, at least 250 FAP trucks, 650 TAM trucks and a number of Soviet trucks such as ZiL, Ural or Maz were captured and put into military service. Many of these vehicles are still in service with the Croatian Army, even though some are over 40 years old. Torpedo 4x4 trucks, light 2.5T trucks were built in large quantities. Some 80 samples entered service with the Army in early 1990s. However, with Croatia joining NATO the Croatian Army started looking into acquiring western types of trucks including MAN TG Mill, Iveco 5T Transport Truck, Mercedes trucks among others. However, due to the shortage of funds, delivery of new logistic and tactical trucks is somewhat lacking. In the past decade the Croatian Army started to renew its logistic and tactical truck fleet sporadically with purchases or donations of smaller quantities of new trucks. The Croatian Army stated the requirement of 1250 tactical/logistic trucks as the current desired goal.

150~ A large number of these trucks in various configurations still serve in many roles within the Croatian Army, they're being replaced by modern models but, due to defence budget cutbacks, these vehicles are likely to remain in service for the foreseeable future. These vehicles are, in many cases, now over 40 years old; replacement is sought when and where possible. The number of serviceable trucks dropped due to lack of spare parts. Noumber of active TAM trucks dropped significantly due to the age and lack of spare parts.

Civilian multi-use trucks and utility vehicles

The Croatian Army relies heavily on the stock of old trucks and supply vehicles. Some were bought brand new but the majority were captured from the Yugoslav Army barracks during the Croatian War of Independence. Slowly, this old equipment is being replaced, however due to the shortage of funds logistics formations within the Croatian Army are the last to get modern vehicles. In the long-term the Croatian Army plans to the reduce number of vehicle types in service down to only 3 manufactures: MAN, Mercedes and Iveco. Currently over a dozen of different manufactures of vehicle types are in service creating costly maintenance issues.

Proposed purchases (future)

Due to ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War Croatia has accelerated some defence acquisition plans that were intended for medium to long-term purchases. One of the biggest procurement programs in the short term is acquisition of eight additional UH-60M helicopters valued at $273.8 million, with Croatia paying $134.5 million of the total figure;[156] eight new helicopters should join the Air force by end of 2028. There is a short-term plan to introduce four medium-range surface-to-air batteries by 2028, MICA VL NG is mentioned as preferred system due to compatibility with introduction of Rafale fighters in to service with Croatian Air Force, but several other options are being looked at as well, Norwegian NASAMS3 system and IRIS-T SLM. As neighbouring Slovenia purchased two batteries of IRIS-T SLM, Croatia could follow a similar path. Allocated budget for these is estimated at €550–570 million, delivery of medium-range surface-to-air batteries are expected sometime after 2025, but no later than 2030.

Croatian Air Force – Plan to attain a Medium to Long Range Air Defence System at some point in next 4 years. Croatian Defence Minister clarified, the procurement of long range air defence and surface to surface rocket systems are priority for incoming government as country lacks adequate air defence cover. Croatian PM also expressed opinion in this regard but also added that priorities are short to medium range systems, 3 defence manufacturers are being considered. Long range system very likely to be either EU/French based on Aster SAMP/T system utilizing Aster 30 rockets which provide long range cover of 150-175km in its latest derivative, or US based MIM-104 Patriot systems that are of similar range but more expensive system. [157]

Croatian will replace M-84A4 Main battle with in next few years, the likely candidate for M84A4 replacement is Leopard 2A8 tank. Croatia has a requirement for 75 Main battle tanks to complete 5 armoured companies. Croatia has been holding talks with German, Czech and other NATO partners to secure large order of Leopard 2A8 tanks, recently Croatian Prime minister publicly announced procurament of noumber of advanced western systems including latest purchase of latest German tanks. [158] Currently M-84A4 is equipped with modern communication system, advanced western built sensors and day night optics offering superior capability to most T-72 tanks, however tank lacks additional armoured protection. Upgrading these tanks to M84A5 standard and donating these to Ukraine is a strong possibility, however before that option can be even considered Croatia would need to secure replacement western tanks. Said tanks are expected to enter service before 2028.

Donation of large number of filed howitzers to Ukraine has left army with only several operational artillery battalions and depleted stock of 122 and 130mm ammunition.[159] [160] [161] There is a plan of replacing entire stock of Soviet artillery systems by early 2030s, which includes acquisition of at least 36 to 58 wheeled 155mm self-propelled artillery systems, French Cesar being most likely contender, additionally, further up to 12 PzH 2000 systems will be acquired to supplement existing stock of Panzerhaubitze howitzers and to complete at least single artillery battalion. Croatia needs to maintain at least three artillery battalions in active service, of which at least one battalion or 18 systems must be tracked armoured self-propelled howitzers. Croatia has joined French acquisition of Ceasar Artillery Systems. Croatia has requirement for at least 54+6 Systems, a common purchase with the French Army will lead to lower cost of the total purchase and long term logistics costs. [162]

The lighter systems that will be purchased in significant quantity are FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank system. Twenty-two launchers have already been acquired with the associate equipment with the requirement for at least 48 systems per battalion and as there are 7 battalions, Croatia needs roughly 336 systems; however, this is a long-term requirement and not entirely certain it will be entirely based on Javelin system; there might be a mix of systems in play. Croatia agreed purchase of 600 |RGW90 systems from Germany; however, the country's Ministry of Defence plans to phase out current ex-Soviet and ex-Yugoslav systems by the end of this decade, meaning a substantial order of these systems might be made in the following few years. Stated requirement is for up to 720 operational systems and significant reserves. Domestic drone production has been initiated in the wake of Russian invasion of Ukraine, a number of domestic companies are involved and number of systems have been purchased from various domestic manufacturers. Croatian Army plans to purchase large quantity of domestic drones SPV-MRM-2-Interceptor drones that are currently being tested in Ukraine by Ukrainian Army, but also, number of US made light AeroVironment RQ-20 Puma UAV drones were purchased as an interim solluition.[163]

Defence Minister of Croatia gave an interview to the local TV channel, revealing some of the important strategic procurement plans for current newly elected government, which includes purchase long range surface to air and surface to surface rocket systems, without disclosing which systems are in question it is suggested Franco/Italian Aster SMPT system might be most likely system and for surface to surface US made M142 HIMARS MLRS system.
