Poland to supply optics for Ukrainian Armed Forces armored vehicles
The Polish state-owned company PCO S.A. will help modernize the optoelectronic equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to a press release by Ukroboronprom, the contract states that Poland will supply modern optical and electronic equipment to Ukraine – including optical sights, periscopes and night vision devices – in order to re-equip more than 30 armored vehicles, including the BMP-1, BMP-1KSH, and BRM-1K.
The report notes that the signing of the contract was preceded by almost two years of work, including testing of Polish equipment that had been installed on armored vehicles, as well as codification and certification of the equipment.
According to Ukroboronprom, the contract has already gone into effect, and Poland has begun deliveries of the optoelectronic equipment to Ukraine.
Previously, Ukroboronprom tested a batch of updated self-propelled guns. The combat equipment was checked at the training ground in the Khmelnytskyi region before being sent to the troops.
