The Defence Ministry is moving military equipment from all over Slovakia for the nationwide celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising (SNP), the ministry posted on a social network on Saturday, adding that first transfers for the military parade have already been completed.

The Defence Ministry pointed out that the transport of the equipment with the final station at Sliac (Banska Bystrica region) was carried out mainly by rail in order to minimise the burden on the road network and to protect the environment.

"A wide range of military equipment has been transported, including infantry fighting vehicles, Zuzana 2 howitzers, light amphibious vehicles and tanks, which will be part of the parade during the celebrations," added the ministry.
