http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomo...olska_bron_w_sluzbie_gruzinskiej _armii.htmlThe 'Grom' has been used by Polish Land Forces since 1995.[3] It is also exported to other countries, including Georgia which bought 30 launchers and 100 missiles in 2007.[3] According to press releases during the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia Polish-made GROM rockets targeted Russian planes and helicopters 20 times, 12 rockets were fired out of which 9 hit their targets
Not exactly, AH-64 is just one of competing assault helicopters designs. We need to replace obsolete Mi-24D and Mi-24W, thus we started program codenamed "Kruk" or "Raven" in English to seek replacement for Mi-24's.apache
Again not exactly, we are actually searching a replacement for Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters, but we seek not a single design but several different designs, for a lighter class of helicopters we manufacture our own designs the SW-4 "Puszczyk" and W-3 "Sokół". However we also need a larger machines, so one of the contenders is manufactured in Poland Sikorsky S-70i Blackhawk, other is also manufactured in Poland AugustaWestland AW149, and we also need a heavy transport helicopter, here are trully only two competitors, or CH-47F Chinook or CH-53K King Stallion when it will be ready, and probably will be as such programs need time to spin forward.chinook
Yes, there are rumors that our MoD is considering purchase of a 5th generation fighter jet, well currently only avaiable option is F-35 so in near future it is possible to purchase around 48. We would most likepy purchase F-35A. So we would have 48 F-16C/D Block 52+ Advanced and 48 F-35A's, but this is still not certain as there is no official program yet.
Not only tanks. We actually have the whole armored fighting vehicles program.and more tanks as well.
