The vehicle also carries a UKM-2000C 7.62 mm machine gun, among other weaponry, according to data from the Polish Ministry of National Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The forthcoming procurement will enable the country\u2019s military to replace its fleet of outdated BWP-1 vehicles, a variant of the Soviet-designed BMP-1. The move comes as Poland is intensifying efforts to replace Warsaw Pact-era gear with new weapons and equipment in the aftermath of Russia\u2019s invasion of its neighbor Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the battlefield, the new IFVs are expected to closely cooperate with the South Korean K2 Black Panther tanks Warsaw ordered for the nation\u2019s armed forces last year. In total, the Polish Army is to receive some 1,000 tanks, of which 180 units will be produced by Hyundai Rotem in South Korea, and a further 820 tanks in the K2PL variant are to be jointly manufactured by the two countries\u2019 defense industries. The first batch of the ordered K2s was delivered to Poland in late 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to South Korean tanks, in the coming years, Poland also intends to base its modern tank fleet on U.S. M1A2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2023\/01\/04\/poland-signs-deal-to-buy-2nd-batch-of-us-abrams-tanks\/\">Abrams<\/a>. Huta Stalowa Wola will lead the industry efforts to develop a second IFV model, which will be heavier than the 28-ton Borsuk, that is specifically meant to cooperate with those tanks, according to B\u0142aszczak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The locally made vehicles for the Polish armed forces will join a plethora of new heavy weaponry from the United States and South
