According to information obtained byDefence24, the forum included an announcement regarding the potential sale of the Polish Borsuk infantry fighting vehicle to Slovakia. This was not the only news concerning possible military equipment exports. According to our sources, Poland and Slovakia are planning to jointly offer the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Vietnam the sale of Rosomak wheeled armored personnel carriers. The Rosomaks, like the aforementioned Borsuks, are to be equipped with the Slovak Turra-30 turret system.

Borsuk and Rosomak

The Borsuk is a Polish amphibious infantry fighting vehicle developed by a consortium led by Huta Stalowa Wola under a program implemented pursuant to an agreement with the National Centre for Research and Development.

The KTO Rosomak is a licensed variant of the Finnish Patria AMV wheeled armored personnel carrier. The vehicle is manufactured by Rosomak S.A. in Siemianowice Śląskie. It differs from the original Finnish design primarily in its reduced dimensions, which allow it to be transported aboard medium-sized aircraft from the C-130 Hercules family.
