The HT-15 Jazvec (English: Badger), is a main battle tank designed by Kubeš Machine Building Design Bureau in Holynia. The initial development began in 2011, with the first prototype completed in 2015. The Jazvec will replace the HT-66 and most of the HT-95 fleet, complementing the HT-90 Pružný fleet of main battle tanks. In March 2015, the Holyn Ministry of Defense placed an initial order for 100 HT-15 Jazvec, with initial delivery beginning in late 2016. As of 2021, 104 are in active service with the Royal Holyn Ground Force.
