Ukraine, Poland to team up to develop two self-propelled artillery systems

The state-run Ukroboronprom Corporation uniting weapons manufacturers and a Polish company will cooperate to develop two self-propelled artillery systems mounted on Ukraine-made vehicles, Ukrinform reports Dec. 28.

Ukraine’s Morozov design bureau and Poland’s Huta Stalowa Wola are to develop a 120-mm APC-mounted mortar and a 155-mm howitzer mounted on the Oplot tank chassis.

In 2016, Ukroboronprom has plans to launch production of ammunition and engines for tanks and APCs.

Ukroboronprom also plans to modernize the Kharkiv Morozov design bureau and Malyshev tank plant for serial production of Oplot tanks and spares for APC-4s and Dozors.
