Speaking of Jelcz and rocket artillery, one cannot fail to mention Langust and Langust II. In the first decade of the 21st century, the Polish Army decided to carry out a low-budget modernization of Soviet BM-21 rocket launchers. This is how, after transferring some elements from the BM-21, the...

If you fell in love with Jelcz, ;) here is an interview with the president of the Jelcz company. Unfortunately, the film is only in Polish, but it contains a lot of photos and videos of Jelcz.

Thank you very much for this very interesting information. I will refer to them later and ask some questions. For now, I will return the favor briefly. I think that even many Poles reading this forum may be surprised, because this information, although public, was not widely disseminated. You...

These versions of Jelcz also have their own history. Well, during the Wisła I Program, the Polish side decided that we wanted to gain experience in the certification process required for a given product to be supplied to the US Armed Forces. Thus, as part of the negotiations, it was agreed that...

American containers, from what I read, are 158 inches long, or ~401 cm. It seems to me that it would be unreasonable to change this length in Korean systems, so I assume that 158 inches also works on K239. However, I am wondering about the height of the containers. An American container can...

Does anyone of you know the length and height of the longer containers of the K239 systems, shown at Jelcz, or do you know the length and caliber of the missiles that are to be installed in these containers?

If this information is confirmed, a 239mm missile factory will be built in Poland in the joint venture formula. This factory would produce over 10,000 239mm missiles, which in the case of the size of the Polish order for launchers may mean contracting the purchase of missiles for 3 salvos. This...

Homar-A & Homar-K on the MSPO fairs. Homar-A has already been placed on the new version of Jelcz. It is likely that Homar-K will eventually also get this type of new chassis, only with 8x8 and not 6x6.

No, it's a fragment of a 300mm missile.

The MSPO defense industry fair in Poland, the most important fair of this type in this part of Europe, starts tomorrow. For today, we only see leaks. The Polish institute WITU subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense, together with two companies belonging to the largest state-owned...

This thread is about the Homar-K program, but it's really just a slice of the pie. In Poland, nowadays everything is connected to everything. ;) There are two artillery programs, Homar and Langusta II. The Homar program is divided into two suppliers, because according to the words of the...

As part of the offset for the Wisła II program, i.e. the second part of the program for the purchase of Patriot batteries by Poland, it is planned to acquire, among others, competencies for the production of large missile engines. Quote 1: "As part of the second phase of the Wisła program, 8...

Okay, then I'm sorry too. Maybe I overreacted to your post.

Not on my part. For me, it's EoT. The facts are what they are. Poland is not in an ideal negotiating position, but none of the countries with which it negotiates technology transfers has such a position either. So you can either accept the facts or inflate your ego against the facts. I only paid...
