The HT-15 Jazvec (English: Badger), is a main battle tank designed by Malík Komárek A.S. 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.
