Rosomak (ZSSW-30)

The Rosomak is an 8x8 multi-role armored vehicle produced in Poland, based on the Patria AMV design. The ZSSW-30 variant integrates an unmanned turret system armed with a 30mm cannon, a coaxial machine gun, and Spike-LR anti-tank guided missiles, significantly enhancing its firepower and crew protection.

Developed by a consortium of Huta Stalowa Wola and WB Electronics, the ZSSW-30 turret program was initiated to replace Poland's aging Soviet-era BWP-1 vehicles and upgrade existing manned turrets with a fully domestic, state-of-the-art unmanned system. Following successful qualification testing, the Polish Ministry of National Defence signed a mass-production contract, leading to the first official deliveries of the ZSSW-30-equipped Rosomak to the Polish Land Forces in late 2023. While earlier Rosomak variants saw extensive combat in Afghanistan and were recently supplied to Ukraine, this advanced unmanned variant is currently being integrated into frontline Polish units to bolster NATO's eastern flank. Today, the vehicle stands as a major milestone for the Polish defense industry, establishing a technological foundation that is also being utilized for the new Borsuk tracked infantry fighting vehicle.
