Hyundai Rotem has unveiled the Polish version of the K2 tank (K2PL), equipped with local defense industry equipment. The company aims to showcase localization achievements by integrating Polish mission equipment and expanding collaboration for local production.
Starting on September 8, Hyundai Rotem will present its lineup of Polish tanks at the 34th International Defense Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce, Poland, for four days.
The booth will feature the modified Polish K2 tank, along with related vehicles such as the bridge layer, mine-clearing tank, and recovery vehicle, all tailored to meet Polish requirements. The K2PL will incorporate advanced technologies, including an active protection system (APS) capable of countering anti-tank guided missiles and drone threats, as well as a drone jammer and remote firing control system.
Among the highlights is the debut of the MCS camouflage system from the local defense company Miranda, designed for use during tank operations while in motion or combat.
Additionally, the Polish bridge layer tank, developed in collaboration with the local defense firm Obrum, will be showcased for the first time, featuring bridge mission equipment optimized for the local battlefield environment.
Hyundai Rotem will also present a model of the multipurpose unmanned vehicle HR-Sherpa, equipped with a remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS) from the local defense company ZMT. A 30-ton wheeled armored vehicle featuring a counter-drone multi-layered protection system (C-UAS) will also be on display, highlighting the company's advanced defense technology.
A Hyundai Rotem official stated, "The Polish K2 tank is a symbolic result of the combined technological capabilities of our countries and will play a significant role in the development of the defense ecosystem in both nations. As a security partner of Poland, we will ensure smooth local production to contribute to Poland's peacekeeping efforts."
