The change in the army's leadership comes at a time when Slovakia is working intensively to increase its defense readiness. In line with this nomination, the announced Table Top Exercise has also begun, which tests the Slovak Republic's ability to respond to military threats. Members of Parliament are also taking part, underscoring the seriousness of the situation regarding the country's security. SITA ↗
The Slovak Armed Forces have also recently tested their ability to cooperate with allies. During the international exercise Federated Cloud 2025 in Czechia, Slovak airmen verified whether F-16 aircraft can operate in real conditions alongside their allies. The test showed that communication between the Slovak Air Force and its allies functions correctly and that the army will hold its own in defense. pravda.sk ↗
The appointment of the new army leadership thus follows a period of strengthening Slovakia's defense capability in connection with the security situation in the region. The new chief, Lorinc, will thus take over the army at a time when its high functionality and readiness are needed. interez.sk ↗
