The Polish Defense Industry has introduced the HOMAR-K MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System), a fusion of South Korean technology and Polish engineering. This new system is an adaptation of the K239 Chunmoo MLRS from South Korea, integrated into the chassis of the Polish-manufactured Jelcz 8×8 truck, type 882.57.
Last September, a landmark agreement was inked between the Polish army and South Korean firm, Hanwha Aerospace. The deal, valued at a staggering $3.55 billion, encompasses the supply of 290 K239 Chunmoo MLRS and a diverse range of ammunition. The delivery timeline is set to conclude by 2027.
By the close of 2023, Poland anticipates the arrival of the initial 18 Korean-manufactured launchers, seamlessly integrated with the Jelcz chassis. These will be commissioned into the 18th Artillery Regiment, based in New Duba, in proximity to one of the HSW SA factories. Notably, this factory is a key producer of ammunition that Poland exports to Ukraine.
