Poland continues to massively purchase and assemble modern combat vehicles: tanks, armored personnel carriers, BMPs and self-propelled guns

The Polish Armaments Agency announced plans to complete 50 defense contracts by the end of the year, which will significantly strengthen Poland's military potential.

Among the key items of these contracts:

  • 180 K2/K2PL main battle tanks;
  • 80 Rosomak armored vehicles- Long 8×8 with ZSSW-30 turrets;
  • 96 155-mm Krab self-propelled howitzers;
  • Bazuk infantry fighting vehicle.

An important part of this initiative is the second executive contract for K2 main battle tanks (MBT). This agreement involves the delivery of 120 K2 tanks and 60 tanks of the upgraded K2PL version.

The K2PL model launches Poland's participation in tank production, with the Polish defense industry playing a significant role in its development. The process will include the launch of local manufacturing, including the production of hydropneumatic suspension systems, automatic loaders, welding of hulls, turrets and chassis. In addition, Poland will produce spare parts, a 120 mm gun, and electrical and electronic installations for the K2PL.

By investing in domestic production, Poland aims to increase the experience of its defense industry and reduce dependence on foreign suppliers.

In addition to the K2PL tanks, the contracts will also provide for the continued supply of 96 155mm Krab self-propelled howitzers, which have proven effective in the current defense efforts of Ukraine. Rosomak-Long armored vehicles equipped with advanced ZSSW-30 turrets will strengthen Poland's mobile firepower.

The Borsuk BMP, another centerpiece of these contracts, is a modern tracked infantry fighting vehicle developed by the Polish defense industry that offers improved mobility and combat survivability.

As Poland continues to modernize its armed forces amid rising regional tensions, the execution of these contracts will play a critical role in enhancing the country's military readiness and strengthening its defense industry. The final signatures are expected by November, which will be a big step forward in Poland's long-term defense strategy.
