TheCroatian Army relies heavily on the stock of old trucks and supply vehicles. It inherited a vast stock of trucks, various transport and utility vehicles during theCroatian War of Independence and theBattle of the Barracks; at least 250FAP trucks, 650TAM trucks and a number ofSoviet trucks such asZiL,Ural orMaz were captured and put into military service. Many of these vehicles are still in service with theCroatian Army, even though some are over 50 years old.Torpedo 4x4 trucks, light 2.5T trucks were built in large quantities. Some 80 samples entered service with theArmy in early 1990s. However, withCroatia joiningNATO theCroatian Army started looking into acquiring western types of trucks includingMAN TG Mill,Iveco 5T Transport Truck andMercedes trucks among others. However, due to the shortage of funds logistics formations within theCroatian Army are the last to get modern vehicles. In the past decade theCroatian Army started to renew its logistic and tactical truck fleet sporadically with purchases or donations of smaller quantities of new trucks. In the long-term theCroatian Army plans to reduce the number of vehicle types in service down to only three manufactures:MAN,Mercedes andIveco. Currently over a dozen of different manufactures of vehicle types are in service creating costly maintenance issues.

Croatian Army plans to purchase of short and medium range surface to air missile batteries with Mistral 3 missiles already added to the Army's inventory. Army plans to purchase up to 5 batteries of medium range surface to air batteries.
