Polish defense firms secure artillery and missile deals with NATO allies and domestic forces

Polish defense firms secured major contracts for artillery systems and Piorun missiles on Friday, advancing domestic and allied military capabilities.
Grupa WB signed a letter of intent with European defense company KNDS to jointly offer Poland’s armed forces a comprehensive, digital artillery solution fully integrated with the Polish Topaz fire control system. The agreement, signed in Kielce, also paves the way for a strategic partnership on integration and support for selected military equipment, according to a Grupa WB press release.
Separately, Grupa WB finalized a contract to supply Croatia’s armed forces with a command and communication system for a new missile division. The deal will equip Croatia with the Fonet digital communication platform and Topaz battle management system, both used by Poland and other NATO allies for over two decades. “We are pleased that Fonet and Topaz will become part of Croatia’s military capabilities,” said Adam Bartosiewicz, Grupa WB vice president .
Poland’s Mesko, a subsidiary of state-owned PGZ, also signed its first executive contract under a framework agreement for Piorun man-portable air defense systems. The 3 billion zloty deal covers several thousand Piorun missiles, hundreds of launchers, and training and logistics packages, with deliveries to the Polish military beginning this year and continuing through 2030. The contract is funded under the EU’s low-interest SAFE mechanism for defense and security purchases .
