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 are still in use to this day. Replacement by modern western counterparts in part was resisted by the army due to the cost and Croatia's large stockpile of 7.62mm calibre ammunition for the M84 machine gun. Replacing the M84 would have been an unnecessary cost when the country's army is undergoing a modernization effort and vital funds are needed elsewhere. However, the army has purchased a large number of western machine guns, including Ultimax 100, FN MAG and others. 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 looking to order between 500 and 1000 M249s and is talking to local manufacture HS Product in establishing long term production under licence from Belgian producer for Croatian and export needs. The army has purchased an undisclosed number of Heckler & Koch MG5 and MG4s, believed to be around 40-50 samples, with future requirements for at least 500 of these weapons.[24]

Vehicles

Tanks

Currently the Croatian Army operates 75 M84A4 tanks, the tanks are deployed in to 5 armoured companies with each company having 14 tanks in total two armoured battalions. Further two tanks are used for training. Croatian Army was looking at modernizing M84A4 tanks to the A5 standard at one point, which would see installation of improved fire control, new battlefield management system, 3rd generation thermal sight, advanced ERA armour package consisting of reactive and passive armour tiles covering 180 degrees of the front face of the tank and much of the roof of the tank, increasing armoured protection of the tank from current 590mm to some 750mm of frontal protection. Modernization also included an improved engine unit and rubber inserts for tank tracks alongside new communications and GPS navigation equipment. However the cost of upgrade exceeded the modernization budget so only a limited general overhaul was agreed which includes only rubber track insets for tank tracks and complete overhaul of M84 tank at allocated cost of around $450,000 per tank. The upgrade of the tanks to the M84A5 standard would have costed around 23 million kuna per tank or just over 1.65 billion kuna for the entire fleet or roughly $252 million.

In recent statement Defence Minister announced plans for modernization of armed forces including replacing M84 Tanks with western made tank in near future.[29] Croatian Army plans to replace M84A4 tanks with a Western made tank, either the Leopard 2A8, Korean K2 Black Panther tank or the French Leclerc Tank, and have already started to talk to French and German counterparts in acquiring Leopard 2A7+ or latest Leclerc MBT. It is estimated if Croatian Army replaces M84A4 tanks on a one for one basis, the new tanks would cost the Army some €720 million. The Army stated requirement are for roughly 100 tanks or two armoured battalions + several driver training tanks.[30]

The fleet is undergoing limited overhaul with 4 tanks to be refurbished by the year's end at the cost of US$440,000 per vehicle.[31] The plan is to replace tanks with a NATO tank such as the Leopard 2 at some point but due to the shortage of funds this is not a top priority.

Tracked vehicles

The Croatian Army relies heavily on Yugoslav era armoured vehicles in its inventory precisely the M80A which was developed in late 1970s to meet Yugoslav Army requirements. The Croatian Army inherited some 134 vehicles from Yugoslav Army through capture of said vehicles in early 1990s, some 128 were put into service with the Croatian Army. Currently the vehicles are deployed in 2 mechanized infantry battalions with one additional M80A company attached to the 2nd Armoured Battalion of Armoured Mechanized Brigade in Vinkovci. For the past 10 years the Croatian Army was trying to secure funding for the replacement of M80A which are seen as inadequate by modern NATO standards offering poor protection, poor overall performance and high maintenance cost. The Croatian Army has secured a partial replacement of the M80A with M2A2 ODS Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles which are being delivered to Croatian Army. There is a probability based on current requirements that the Croatian Army will order additional vehicles so it can completely retire the obsolete M80A vehicles from service by 2030. It is estimated that the Croatian Army needs 180 vehicles in total to fulfil that requirement. Croatia intends to upgrade M2A2 ODS Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles to similar standard to US M4 variants, BAE Systems will be engaged with the local manufacturer Duro Djakovic to modernize all vehicles to latest standard, it is not clear if upgraded vehicles will retain 25mm bushmaster cannon or 30mm cannon and entirely new turret will be designed for the vehicle.[32] It is also not clear if Croatia will order additional Bradley vehicles, or these vehicles are interim solution before latest IFV such as CV 90Mk4 or Puma IFV are purchased sometimes later in the decade. Bradley vehicles were purchased rather fast to fulfil Croatia's NATO obligation but also to replace some of the M80A infantry fighting vehicles which are seen as inadequate.

Further donations of the same vehicle are quite likely, Heavy Mechanized Brigade will need to replace 128 M80A IFVs, and the replacement with M2 Bradley is one possibility being considered. Order also includes over 1700 BGM-71 TOW missiles of all sorts with support and spare package worth $757 million.[34][35][36][37][38]

Wheeled armoured personnel vehicles

The Croatian Army's main wheeled APC is the Patria AMV, 127 vehicles are currently in service with at least 30[39] more to join the service in the upcoming year or two. Some 108 vehicles are armed with Protector (RWS) Remote Weapon Station and 9 vehicles are armed with Elbit's UT30MK2 turrets, however recent order for 30 more UT30MK2 armed Patria AMV brings the total to 36. Currently Army has 3 mechanized battalions that are equipped with Patria vehicles, considering each battalion requires 62 vehicles of which 44 are combat vehicles one can easily deduce the requirement for the Army, meaning with current order of 30 new Patria vehicles, Army will need to order at least 40 more vehicles in not too distant future, however total current requirement is for 196 vehicles, 4 driver training, 36 Infantry Fighting Vehicles armed with 30mm RWS, 6 Armoured Ambulance, 6 Armoured recovery vehicles, 108 Armoured personnel carriers armed with 12.7mm RWS, 36 APC armed with 40mm RWSGrenada Launcher. There is additional requirement for anti aircraft vehicles and mobile mortar vehicles, not yet defined by Croatian MOD, it expected to be in the region of at least additional 30 vehicles for the total army requirement of around 226 vehicles in 8 different configurations. Currently there are 126 vehicles in service with 30 brand new vehicles on order.[40] The MOD was thinking about ordering 23 more IFVs, but the deal went nowhere .[41] Through US donations the army has received a large number of mine resistant vehicles, including some 172 Oshkosh M-ATV armed with 12.7mm HMG, it is not clear if the army plans to modernize the Oshkosh M-ATV with the remote weapon station, but this is probably one of the longer term priorities. With possible armor upgrades. Q-net rpg cages were received in 2017 for RS.

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.[42][7][43]

On the 18.01.2023. a document was released in which the army plans to order an unknown number of vehicles worth 118,455,106.00 EURO [44] with 30 more spike launcher based on the patria amv

Combat engineering vehicles

The Army maintains an impressive arsenal of non-combat engineering vehicles from diggers, loaders and various heavy duty trucks. In this segment the Croatian Army is fully equipped and Army engineering units are fully engaged in various domestic and international missions from participating in various UN missions, NATO missions and domestic emergency missions such as floods, construction of roads or land clearance for participating in fighting fires. In 2017 the Army acquired 2 Kalmar RT 240 Container handlers,[51] with further two added to army's logistics in 2020 as well as number of new CASE[52][53] and JCB[54][55] diggers, loaders and so on.

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.[59] 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[60] 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.[25]

  • Although Croatia had acquired the S-300PMU-1 long-range surface-to-air missile system from Ukraine in 1994, and demonstrated some of the systems parts on the 1995 military parade held in Zagreb, it is believed that the system was never fully completed and operational although the training of crews was held as late as 1998. Some sources claim that the weapon was subsequently handed-over to the United States or Israel in 2002–2004. However, officials still claim that the system is still stored somewhere in Croatia and the exact fate of the system is to this day classified.

Anti-tank weapons

Currently the Croatian Army has a mix of anti tank systems in use, with vast majority of current inventory dating back to 1990s when during the Croatian War of Independence, the Croatian National Guard managed to capture massive stores of Yugoslav Army weapon stockpiles including large quantity of anti tank missiles of Soviet and Yugoslav origin. The Croatian Army also purchased a number of Russian anti tank systems during the War, systems which were never used by the Yugoslav Army. Many of these systems are now obsolete by modern standards and are not compatible with NATO equipment requirements. Due to the shortage of funds, the purchase of modern NATO compatible anti tank systems wasn't on the agenda until the recent purchase of Bradley M2A2 ODS IFVs and Patria AMV IFVs. The Croatian Army has secured 20 Spike launchers with at least 1794 Spike LR 2 missiles that will be mounted on 9 Patria AMV IFVs, with 2 launchers per vehicle, with further two launchers for training. With the purchase of M2A2 ODS Bradley IFVs, the Croatian Army went on ahead and ordered a large quantity of TOW 2 missiles in several configurations, both missile systems once they enter service will be vehicle mounted. Finally Croatian Army plans to introduce new anti tank missiles, USA made FGM-148 Javelin have been chosen as main infantry support weapon along with German made RGW 184 Matador RPG,[39] initially 100 Javelin Launchers will be purchased with several hundred missiles and at least 300 Metador RPG systems. However as there are 7 mechanized infantry combat battalions currently in the Army, there's a requirement for a large number of infantry portable ATGM launchers, with requirements for at least 224 launchers.32 Hellfire missile launchers with a larger number of Hellfire Romeo missiles were purchased, mainly for use on Croatian Air Force OH-58D(R) helicopters. Future purchases of additional launchers and missiles are very likely, especially if Croatia acquires combat/attack drones and attack helicopters.

Artillery

Mortars

The Croatian Army has a vast stockpile of mortars. It is estimated that nearly 2000 mortars of various kind and over quarter a million rounds are in possession. The vast stock of mortars and mortar rounds was captured from the Yugoslav Army when the Croatian National Guard managed to capture massive Yugoslav Army barracks in Zagreb, Varaždin, Bjelovar and other towns across Croatia during the Battle of the Barracks. Currently only a fraction of this arsenal is in use, with the rest stored and in reserve. All systems are NATO compatible so currently the Army has no known plans to replace these systems.

Towed artillery

The Croatian Army captured a vast stock of Yugoslav Army artillery and ordnance, much of it now remains stored or is awaiting disposal. Due to NATO interoperability the Croatian Army has no use of outdated Yugoslav era systems however due to the lack of funds the Army is forced to retain some of the systems such as D-30 howitzers in active service. Ideally the M777 howitzer or CAESAR self-propelled howitzer would be the most likely choice for field artillery formations but due to lack of funding this remains a distant priority.

Self-propelled howitzers

The Croatian Army captured 11 2S1 Gvozdika self propelled howitzers during the Croatian War of Independence and the Battle of Barracks but 2 systems were damaged and scrapped with one being displayed in the Army museum in Vukovar. Effectively the Croatian Army had only one battery of self propelled artillery which caused considerable issues with training and combat capabilities offered by the somewhat dated artillery system. The decision was made to purchase modern self propelled artillery system with Swedish Bofors Archer, American M109A6 Paladin and German PzH 2000 being favoured. In the end the Croatian Army purchased 16 PzH 2000 howitzers from the German Army stock and entered service with the Army in 2019. There is a plan to purchase additional PzH 2000[29] systems (although in September 2023 Croatian troops in Poland were observed training with U.S. troops on Paladin which shares components with the Bradley IFV),[84][85] Croatian Army plans to purchase at least 8 additional systems and up to 12 systems with in next few years. Croatian Army is also looking at wheeled artillery system to equip medium mechanized brigade and potential candidates are French Cesar SPH artillery system which has proven combat effectiveness.

APR–40Mobile multiple rocket launcher122mm Romania31Ordered from Romania in 1992-1993. Replacement by modern NATO system is a priority under new the defence white paper, no mention of what system would replace the current Multiple Launch Rocket Systems in service, talks were being held with US and German governments on possible purchase of M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (M270 MLRS), Croatian requirements call for initially 8 systems to form two battery teams at the Independent Artillery Regiment, with further need of 16 systems needed to equip the two active combat brigades for a total of 24 systems along simulators and training vehicles. The number of systems which the Croatian Army might purchase will solely depend on the price of the entire purchase and delivery dates, the Ministry of Defence has planned to set aside some 200 million kuna or $32 million for this program, although it is likely said systems might be donated by the US for a symbolic price for which in return the Ministry of Defence would only pay VAT for said vehicles resulting in the price tag being negligible and affordable.

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,[89][90][91][92] of which several are still operational Croatian Army has started to test domestically manufactured arial drones and UAV, .,[93][94] Army has tested noumber of domestically produced attack and surveillance drones with aim of purchasing large noumber of these.[95][96] 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.[97] Croatian Armed Forces Drone command was established at Pula airport and airbase [98] 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.[99][100]

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.[102]

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.[115] 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 to 7000 personnel [116] 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.[117]

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.

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.
