The first K239 Chunmoo rocket launcher has arrived in Poland. The rest of the South Korean MLRS will arrive by the end of the year.
The first K239 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket system from South Korea arrived in Poland. About this August 21 reported Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak on Twitter.
“The first Korean K239 Chunmoo rocket launcher has just arrived in Poland. It was installed on a Polish Jelcz truck,” he wrote.
According to the minister, another South Korean MLRS will arrive by the end of the year.
It will be recalled that in October 2022, Poland signed an agreement to purchase 288 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket systems as part of an agreement with South Korea.
The K239 Chunmoo is a self-propelled multiple rocket launcher developed in 2013 to replace the aging K136 Kooryong in the South Korean army. It is capable of launching various guided and unguided artillery rockets.
As you know, Poland is conducting a large-scale rearmament of the army. In addition to American Abarms tanks and HIMARS missile systems, the rearmament program involves the production of a large number of modern weapons in cooperation with South Korea.
In December last year, Poland received the first batch of armored vehicles from South Korea – 10 K2 Black Panther tanks and 24 K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers.
