History
Developed in the early 2000s to replace Poland's obsolete Soviet-era OT-64 SKOT fleet, the vehicle was selected after a competitive tender to modernize the nation's mechanized infantry. It officially entered service in 2004, with local production established at the Siemianowice Śląskie plant. The Rosomak saw extensive combat deployment with Polish forces during the war in Afghanistan and peacekeeping missions in Chad, earning a formidable reputation for crew survivability against rocket-propelled grenades and roadside bombs. Today, it remains the backbone of the Polish Land Forces, undergoing continuous modernization with advanced domestic unmanned turrets and seeing recent export and donation to Ukraine.
