Breaking: Poland completely abandoning HIMARS for K239

https://frontierindia.com/poland-cuts-us-himars-orders-for-south-korean-k239-chunmoo-rocket-launchers/
>The Polish Ministry of Defense (MON) recently revealed an ambitious proposal to acquire 500 M142 HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) rocket launchers from the United States. However, plans have altered. Poland will acquire “just” 200 HIMARS missile launchers but 300 K239 Chunmoo rocket launchers from South Korea.

>The stated justification for the acquisition of South Korean rocket launchers is the inability of American industry to provide 500 HIMARS timely. Other plausible explanations include the Koreans’ desire to share expertise and knowledge, the relocation of manufacturing to Poland, and the Koreans’ willingness to use Polish technologies and components. In any event, Americans lack such adaptability and responsiveness.

>Try comparing the first acquisition of Polish HIMARS missile launchers. Already in 2018, Poland spent $414 million to acquire one detachment of HIMARS rocket launchers (36 rocket launchers) and two training rocket launchers. These three batteries will be supplied on the American FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles) chassis and equipped with the American fire control system (SP) AFATDS (Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System). The first portion will be delivered by the end of 2023. The purchase is nonetheless portrayed as a Polish homage to the United States.

>According to Polish Armaments Agency spokesperson Krzysztof Platek, Poland will get K239 Chunmoo superstructures placed on Polish Jelcz 88 trucks and the Polish Topaz SP (combat). Seoul will offer cruise missiles with ranges between 70 and 290 kilometres and a technology transfer. In Poland, the first rocket launchers will arrive in 2023! Thus, simultaneously with the American HIMARS ordered five years ago.

Stay strong, himarsisters...

      People in this thread fail to realise a critical point. If at any point in the future, Russia manages to defeat Ukraine, or open up new fronts with another country (lol), Poland will be where the action takes place. The majority of conventional war would very likely take place in or around Poland, so it makes sense that NATO and everyone else is desperate to give Poles the gud shit. Which is why they are getting the gud shit. Does it matter if it's 200 or 500 HIMARS? no, what matters is having a frickton of GMLRS launchers. Even 100 of those, korean or otherwise, would annihilate any Russian invasion within weeks

      >At the end of May, Poland issued the United States a Letter of Request (LoR) for the acquisition of 486 HIMARS rocket launchers. This time, the Poles requested a substantial degree of Polonization and the transfer of technology and know-how. There is currently a discussion of purchasing “just” 200 HIMARS. It is unclear what stage the discussions are at and whether or not the United States is prepared to trade technology. In any event, Koreans are unparalleled in their adaptability.

      Those 200 only exist in a form of paper which doesn't have any obligation to proceed with. It's very likely that the Polish MOD will soon withdraw from the negotiation except for the first 20 that have been already paid for and completed. It was never going to make it since the US wouldn't allow it to integrate it onto its own chassis or produced locally.

    The US is pretty reluctant to do a transfer of technology, but the Koreans will do it as part of the deal for both the launching systems and munitions Poland is interested in.

              Zeman was at most always very pragmatic politician - he never took any strong "moral" stances and always looked up more to trade benefits. Which is why he was originally for trading relationships with the west, but also Russia and China. This of course meant he is "pro-russian" for both EUcrats and Russhits - both of which have no issues with lying.

              After monke sperged out, he publicly apologized and said he was mistaken about disregarding those who adviced him not to.

      It's in the second "§" US increased prodiction of HIMARS to 100 annually. So it would take ~5years to deliver last one.

    Honestly K239 is better for Poland. HIMARS is only better when you need airlift capabilities. Two launchers per truck make more sense in every other scenario. And when you have decent roads wheels make more sense than tracks.

          As long as it can be supported by the developer it might be a better deal. It is @$500k less than HIMARS per unit, so buy 6 get a 7th free.
          IS SK going to be able to deliver masses of them on time with high reliability?

      I can speculate that its safer to order from partner that doesnt have as much political leverage as US or contradictory local interests as Germans/French might. Less chance that something might get remotely switched off or be denied spare parts, etc in case of emergency, since Kims are more neutral in Europan affairs. Korean gear is also modern and competitively priced.
