The Slovenian Armed Forces sent a request for 14 [[Pandur II|Pandur EVO]] armoured vehicles in late 2019. As the SAF already operate 85 [[Pandur I]] ([[Valuk]]), which is from the same family of vehicles and is the main vehicle of the army and were bought from the same company as the new ones which was [[Steyr]] (Austrian) in the past and today [[General Dynamics Land Systems]] (American), the company is offering the vehicles to the army as they know it will have all requirements for the SAF that the old ones lacked which is troop space, protection, modern electronics and RCWS. Unlike the Austrian Pandur EVO, which is only armed with 12.7mm [[M2 Browning]] HMG, some Slovenian Pandur EVO will be equipped with 40mm [[Heckler & Koch GMG]]. The Austrian government is offering a government to government contract with the Slovenian government to make the purchase cheaper. The director of GDELS confirmed there will be no corruption or problems with the purchase as they have done purchases in the past with no problem, as the SAF is an important customer to them. The 14 vehicles will fulfil 1 company of troops and the cost is estimated around 40 million Euros. The purchase is currently on standby as they are waiting for the decision of the new government for the purchase. Delivery to take place between 2020 and 2021.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

Since the new defence minister wanted and still wants to finish the purchase of [[Boxer (armoured fighting vehicle)]] and the new general also being interested in it, if they solve the pricing problems it is possible that they will buy 56 Boxer vehicles instead of 14 Pandur EVO.{{citation needed|date=December 2022}}

Alongside the 14 Pandur EVO armoured vehicles, they will be joined by 38 [[Joint Light Tactical Vehicle]] which the delivery date was said to be in 2021-2023 but has changed as productions etc. is going better than expected and therefor already being 12 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles in the army in 2020 which are intended to replace the [[Humvee]]. The cost for the purchase was 46,5 million Euros. They will be armed with 12.7mm [[M2 Browning]] HMG and some with 40mm [[Heckler & Koch GMG]], 1 company being an anti-tank company equipped with [[Spike (ATGM)]] LR/MR missiles.

The ministry of defence of RS said in 2020 that the artillery will be equipped with self propelled howitzers which will increase its firepower, speed and efficiency. The German [[Panzerhaubitze 2000]] is a high contender in this purchase which will be done after the purchase of the Pandur EVO armoured vehicles in 2022–2023.

As Slovenian ground force already has 11 [[Roland (missile)]] II short range air defences, the ministry of defence of RS said that they will make a purchase of a short to medium range air defence system with integrated radar which reduce the need for trucks to tow a radar for the air defence system. Purchase will be done in around 2024.

In May 2022, Slovenia signed a contract for the delivery of 45 [[Boxer (armoured fighting vehicle)]] in four different variants,with the contract being worth €281.5 Million and delivery of the vehicles expected to begin from 2024 until 2026.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.joint-forces.com/defence-equipment-news/54021-slovenia-procures-45-boxer-vehicles | title=Slovenia Procures 45 BOXER Vehicles | date=17 May 2022 }}</ref>

The Ministry of Defence stated that it will retire some aircraft to lower maintenance costs, while purchasing large transport aircraft. The purchase was completed in 2007 between the Italian [[Alenia C-27J Spartan]] and Spanish [[EADS CASA C-295]]. Both were tested in [[Cerklje ob Krki Airport]] military airport by the Slovenian pilots and the decision was made to buy the Spanish C-295, but one crashed and the purchase was cancelled.

Slovenian airspace is secured by NATO with [https://www.aviohub.it/2020/10/nato-air-policing-in-slovenian-air-space-and-slovenian-air-capabilities/ NATO AIR POLICING]. For NATO nations that do not have the necessary air capabilities (Albania, Estonia, Iceland, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Latvia, Lithuania, and Slovenia), agreements exist to ensure airspace security within SACEUR's area of responsibility. NATO Air Policing is a peacetime collective defence mission, which is at the very heart of NATO's founding treaty. It ensures the integrity of Allies' airspace and protects Alliance nations by maintaining continuous a 24/7 Air Policing within Supreme Allied Commander Europe's (SACEUR's) area of responsibility.
