Work will include major repair works of 31 vehicles and maintenance overhauls of nine other BWP-1 IFVs under the guaranteed contract. The agreement also includes an option of two overhauls and three maintenance overhauls.

The deal will be executed between 2022 and 2024, with the first deliveries scheduled next year.

PGZ management board president Sebastian Chwałek said: “Infantry fighting vehicles are invariably the basis of the equipment of the land forces, which is why it is so important to ensure their proper efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle of this equipment.

“I am glad that, in parallel to the work on Borsuk, we can secure the renovation area and use the competences of the Poznań WZM, the more so that the signed contract allows for an increase in the number of BWP renovated in the coming years.”
