History

Developed in the early 2000s to replace aging Soviet-era SKOT APCs, the vehicle was selected by the Polish military in 2002 and officially entered service in 2004. Manufactured locally by Rosomak S.A., it saw extensive combat deployment with Polish forces during the War in Afghanistan and EUFOR missions in Chad, earning a reputation for excellent crew protection. The platform has since been adapted into numerous specialized configurations, including mortar carriers and medical evacuation vehicles. It remains the cornerstone of Poland's mechanized infantry, with recent modernization efforts focusing on new unmanned turrets and deliveries to Ukraine.
