The HT-15 Jazvec (English: Badger), is a main battle tank designed by Malík Komárek A.S. in Holynia. The initial development began in 2006, with the first prototype unveiled in 2015. The Jazvec will replace the HT-75 and older models of the HT-85. It is envisioned to become the sole Holyn main battle tank by 2040. The HT-15 entered service with the Holyn Ground Force in 2019 after a 300 unit order was placed in 2016.
