As opposition leader, Andrej Babiš (ANO) called on Fial's government to purchase American Patriot anti-missile systems to protect the Czech Republic from ballistic missiles. Now, as prime minister, he calls air defense a priority, but he does not plan to purchase Patriots. Moreover, according to the approved concept of army construction, the Czech Republic will not have its own defense against ballistic missiles even in 2040.
