According to the SIPRI Arms Trade Database, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Poland has already delivered to Ukrainian armed forces 24 Dozor-B, 18 second-hand Krab 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzers, 14 second-hand Leopard 2A4 MBTs (Main Battle Tanks), 1,000 Piorun MANPADS portable air defense missile systems, 20 second-hand PT-91 Twardy MBTs, 290 T-72M1 MBTs, and 150 Warmate loitering munition.

The primary armament of the Rosomak IFV is a 30mm automatic cannon, which provides effective firepower against a variety of targets, such as enemy infantry, light armored vehicles, and fortified positions. This autocannon is capable of firing a range of ammunition types, including armor-piercing, high-explosive, and tracer rounds.

In addition to the main gun, the turret often accommodates a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun for close-range engagements and suppression of enemy infantry. The Rosomak IFV can also be fitted with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) to enhance its capability to engage and defeat more heavily armored targets.
