National Guard's Shift Towards Wheeled Vehicles
April 1, 2026
The National Guard is revising its operational plan, focusing on wheeled vehicles instead of tracked ones. The aim is to enhance the speed and rapid response of mechanized units. There is a plan to acquire American armored vehicles, which are expected to significantly improve operational capabilities. This shift is linked to the terrain of Cyprus and the need for survivability. It is emphasized that cooperation with the U.S. includes acquiring systems at low costs.
