So Slovakia is restarting production of the BMP-1 the very first IFV for a secret customer.

Restarting a near 40 year old production line to build 60s era Soviet museum pieces for a secret client is an interesting and odd decision.
The speculation that the customer is Ukraine seems likely and explains the secrecy. The proxy war in Ukraine is rather polarizing in Slovakia and openly building them for Ukraine could be an issue for the government.
