Poland Buys 1,200+ Legwan Tactical Vehicles
Poland’s Ministry of National Defence has signed a major framework agreement for the delivery of more than 1,200 Legwan multi-purpose tactical vehicles to the Polish Armed Forces, part of a broader effort to expand the country’s military mobility.
The deal, signed on September 25, 2025, at Rosomak S.A. in Siemianowice Śląskie, was announced by Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The agreement covers the delivery of 1,266 vehicles on a KIA-based chassis by 2035. The contract was concluded between the Armaments Agency, representing the State Treasury of the Republic of Poland, and a consortium led by Rosomak S.A. in partnership with Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ).
“These will be Legwan vehicles in various configurations,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said at the signing ceremony. “This shows that the cooperation proposed by President Leszkiewicz between Rosomak, Jelcz, and Autosan is absolutely the right direction. It is something we should continue to develop. The defense industry must be the driving force of the Polish economy.”
The new vehicles will be supplied in several variants, including light reconnaissance vehicles, high-mobility personnel and cargo carriers, 4×4 tactical vehicles for tank battalions equipped with K2PL tanks, mobile technical workshops, and vehicles based on the Kia LTV platform. Each will come with dedicated logistics and training packages.
Kosiniak-Kamysz stressed that the project will have far-reaching economic and strategic benefits. “Rosomak, but also Legwan, can become an export product. I count on you and on the entire team. I know that you are top-class specialists and that you have both experience and youthful energy,” he said. “The implementation of experience from Ukraine shows that contracts must be flexible, because systems that were relevant yesterday change quickly. We must be ready to implement new solutions fast. We live in very dangerous times. People are concerned about their future. Contracts like this, jobs, reliance on Polish suppliers, and independence of supply chains are guarantees of security.”
The agreement builds on Poland’s growing cooperation with foreign partners, including South Korea. On August 1, Warsaw confirmed production of a localized version of the K2 main battle tank, with 180 tanks ordered for the Polish Army. “Silesia can and should, in my view, become the center of the defense industry in Poland,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
The Legwan family is intended to improve the operational mobility, logistical support, and reconnaissance capabilities of the Polish Armed Forces in both peacetime and combat operations. Light reconnaissance vehicles will carry soldiers and specialized equipment for patrol and intelligence missions in any weather conditions, while high-mobility trucks will transport personnel and materiel. The 4×4 support vehicles will directly support armored battalions, and the mobile workshops will provide battlefield repair and technical reconnaissance capabilities.
