On June 22nd this year, a convoy of 8 self-propelled howitzers “Krab” together with accompanying vehicles (according to 2ba 1DMO agreement), has left Huta Stalowa Wola S.A., a part of Polish Armaments Group.
The equipment, constituting the main element of the “Regina” Division Fire Modules, will go to the 5th Lubuski Artillery Regiment in Sulechów.
The delivery will take place as part of the implementation of the agreement of December 14th, 2016 between Huta Stalowa Wola S.A. and the Armament Inspectorate of the Ministry of National Defense. The agreement assumes providing the Polish Army with four division fire modules REGINA.
