This includes launching a joint procurement with the neighboring Czech Republic, as well as using the license for South Korea\u2019s K9 chassis, which was acquired by Polish manufacturer Huta Stalowa Wola for its ASM Krab 155mm self-propelled howitzer.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> The BWP-1 and BWP-2 are locally built variants of the Soviet BMP-1 and BMP-2 vehicles. Currently, the Polish land forces operate more than 1,000 units of the two IFVs.<br\/> \u00a0<br\/> Poland has intensified efforts to replace its predominantly Soviet-designed military gear following Moscow\u2019s intervention in neighboring Ukraine and Russia\u2019s takeover of the Crimean peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0<a
