MSPO 2013: Poland signs agreement for Turkish T-155 Firtina hulls for Krab SPA
Poland's Huta Stalowa Wola (HSW) and Turkey's MKEK signed a letter of intent to buy Turkish T-155 Firtina hulls for Poland's Krab self-propelled artillery (SPA) programme at MSPO 2013 on 3 September.
Early examples of the Krab had featured a hull produced by the former Bumar Labedy (now part of Polish Defence Holdings), equipped with a licence-built version of the UK AS90/52 Braveheart turret fitted with a Nexter 155 mm gun. HSW is the prime contractor on the programme.
There are currently eight Krabs, two prototypes and six additional howitzers, which were ordered in May 2008. Poland has since ordered an additional 16 Krab SPAs, which will feature a Rheinmetall main gun.
