Miscellaneous Info:	The Pandur 2 8x8 CZ (Czechia) Wheeled Armored Vehicle Series is a major production variant of the original Pandur 2 Series. It differs in some ways from the original, but the changes are mostly sundry to Czech use.  For instance, almost all Pandur 2's in service with the Czech Republic are amphibious, whereas that capability is not standard.  The "main" variant of the series is the Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), which is known to the Czechs as the KBVP= "Wheeled IFV".  The other in-service variants are as follows: Upgraded IFV (KBVP M1 RVS), IFV Company Command Post (KBV-VR), Ambulance (KOT-Zdr), Command Vehicle (KOV-VŠ), Communications (Radio) Vehicle (KOV-S), Engineer Vehicle (KOT-Ž), Reconnaissance Vehicle -With Battlefield Surveillance Radar (KBV-PZLOK) and Reconnaissance Vehicle -Without Radar (KBV-Pz).  The Pandur CZ vehicles are currently in service, but there is already planning for its successor, a distinct possibility being the Pandur EVO Series, which is already being produced.
