Poland has signed a contract to acquire “several dozen” locally-produced Waran 4×4 armored personnel carriers to support the military’s WR-40 Langusta self-propelled rocket launchers.
Valued at 1.3 billion Polish złoty ($317.9 million), the fleet will be used for ammunition supply and personnel transport tasks accompanying operations of three configurations of the weapon system.
Warsaw will also receive repair equipment, the ZZKO TOPAZ ground artillery automated fire control system, logistics services, a training package, and associated software, computer, and communication solutions. Deliveries of the vehicles will run from 2027 to 2028.
Made by Polish mobility developer Huta Stalowa Wola, the Waran is a vehicle measuring six meters (20 feet) and weighing about 13,000 kilograms (28,660 pounds).
The system employs a mine-resistant ambush-protected capability using its level 2 NATO-standard armor and V-shaped underchassis.
