Poland Extends Rosomak Armored Vehicle Production License Until 2034

Poland has extended the production licence for the Rosomak wheeled armoured personnel carrier (KTO), securing continued domestic manufacturing until 2034. The agreement was signed between Rosomak S.A. and Finnish defense company Patria at the headquarters of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ).

The licence extension ensures that Rosomak vehicles will remain a core component of the Polish Armed Forces for the next decade, while preserving national production capacity, upgrade potential, and export opportunities. Rosomak S.A. will continue manufacturing, modernising, and supporting the platform in Poland.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz dismissed speculation about the vehicle’s future, stating that the Rosomak remains the primary wheeled armoured platform of the Polish Armed Forces and will continue to fulfil this role.

PGZ President Adam Leszkiewicz described the license extension as confirmation of the maturity and technical competence of Poland’s defense industry, highlighting the long-term contribution of Polish engineers and industrial infrastructure to the program.

Based on Patria’s AMV platform, the Rosomak has been in service with Polish mechanised units for more than 20 years. During this period, it has undergone multiple upgrades and variants, adapting to evolving operational requirements and remaining one of the key pillars of Poland’s land forces.

The agreement reinforces Poland’s strategy of maintaining sovereign defense manufacturing capabilities while sustaining long-term cooperation with trusted international partners.
