The Polish group of companies WB Group signed a memorandum with the Korean company Hanwha Aerospace to build a new missile production plant in Poland.

Defence24 reported on this.

The plant plans to produce surface-to-surface missiles, probably for K239 Chunmoo launchers called Homar-K in the Polish version.

The new plant will likely produce artillery shells in the future.

Implementing the signed memorandum will give Poland autonomy in supplying a significant part of missile and artillery ammunition.

It is also unknown whether the plant will be designed to meet the needs of the Polish Armed Forces or will also be export-oriented.

Poland is an active user of Hanwha products, purchasing self-propelled artillery systems, tanks, and other weapons.

In addition, the issue of purchasing KSS-III submarines is being discussed.

In addition to Poland, another neighboring country, Romania, is actively interested in the company’s products.

On August 23, the South Korean defense giant Hanwha held an opening ceremony for its first Hanwha Armored Vehicle Centre of Excellence in Australia.

The Hanwha Armored Vehicle Centre of Excellence (H-ACE) was opened in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, making it Hanwha’s first overseas base.

The center will primarily produce K9 tracked self-propelled howitzers and K10 ammunition resupply vehicles.
