In some cases, the date of expiry was exceeded even three times, she added.
The only exception is the modern RBS-70 short-range anti-aircraft missile that the military obtained only recently, Burketova said.
"Another prolongation of the lifespan poses a security risk and does not guarantee a reliable use [of the missiles]," NKU president Frantisek Dohnal writes in a press release.
The military officials extended its arsenal by 16 new Swedish-made RBS-70s last November.

The NKU has also found that the Defence Ministry's documents on the military development in 2009-2014 do not solve the air defence needs.
