Rosomak

Despite its relatively short service in our army, the Rosomak Wheeled Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) has become a symbol of its transformation, modernity, and a break from the line of Soviet designs. I'll just remind you that the basis for this transporter was the Finnish AMV XC-360P design from Patria Vehicles Oyj, which won the tender for the Polish army in 2002.

Compared to the original, the Rosomak gained amphibious capabilities, and the combat version was equipped with the Hitfist 30P turret from Italian OTO Melara, produced under license by Bumar Łabędy. The transporter itself is produced at the Military Mechanical Works in Siemianowice Śląskie under a long-term license, giving us the right to extensive modernization and sales. From 2005 to 2020, 903 units of the Rosomak in various versions were delivered to the Polish Army. Development work is still ongoing, and new versions are being created.

Liked by soldiers, modelers, and technology enthusiasts, the Rosomak had the opportunity to prove itself in combat conditions during our army's missions in Chad, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Our graphic depicts a thoroughbred predator in the version with a 30 mm cannon mounted on the Hitfist-30P turret.
