Eight 155-millimetre cannonohabic Krab along with accompanying carts went to the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment. The maker – Huta Stalowa Wola – thus resumed deliveries to the Polish army after a break, which was due to the implementation of the contract for Ukraine. Another Kraby Polish army will choice up again this year.
"We increase combat capabilities and fire potential" – so representatives of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment commented on deliveries on social media. The crabs reached Boleslavec this week. There are 8 of them. They are accompanied by: a command-car, 3 command vehicles and 2 ammunition trucks.
– Crabs are very modern equipment. The artillerymen of the 23rd Regiment first encountered him a fewer years ago. Since then, they have dealt with him both in the unit and in the field. However, the experience gained should be multiplied. And fresh deliveries will surely aid with this," said Major Artur Pinkowski, spokesperson for the 11th Lubuskie Division of Armored Cavalry.
Crab is 1 of the business cards of the Polish armory. The 155-millimeter cannon-haubica produced by the Steel Wola Huta can drive a fire at a velocity of six shots per minute and harm targets over a distance of 40 km. The effectiveness of the fire is ensured by the digital fire control strategy Topaz. It consolidates the data from the reconnaissance, helps track the mark and coordinates the actions of another cannonohaubic which are part of the combat module. And the Crab is very mobile. Thanks to a 1,000 horsepower engine, the 48-ton vehicle develops a velocity of 60 km/h on the road and 30 km/h in an adjacent area. After the task, he is able to rapidly jump distant at a considerable distance and thus make it hard for enemy sub-units to track his position. The safety of a five-man crew besides strengthens solid armor, which protects against shrapnel and smaller caliber missiles.
In 2016, the Polish army concluded an agreement to deliver 96 cannonobic. In the following years, 80 vehicles were sent to the units. However, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, deliveries were halted. The maker focused on the implementation urgent contract for Ukrainian armed forces. It was yet realised at the end of last year, and Huta Stalowa Wola resumed production for Polish troops. The first Krabys have just joined the Bolesławec regiment. More deliveries are expected shortly – besides under subsequent contracts that the Ministry of Defence has concluded in fresh years. These include the transfer of vehicles in a newer configuration. full By 2029, Polish artillerymen should receive Over 200 Crabs. They will let to replace equipment produced inactive in russian times, and will besides fill the gap created after the transfer of respective twelve haubic Ukraine.
