MSPO 2015: Poland on the Rak
Modern fire support for the Polish Army is getting closer in the form of the RAK 120mm self-propelled mortar (SPM) system.
The company has built two new vehicles that are in the final phases of qualification testing, a spokesperson for HSW told Shephard at the MSPO exhibition in Kielce, Poland.
The first is the wheeled SPM solution called M120W that uses a Rosomak 8x8 chassis to mount the RAK 120mm mortar system. The second is the tracked solution called M120T with a chassis built by HSW that hosts the RAK 120mm mortar. Both vehicles are due to finish qualification testing
