MSPO 2025 in Poland showcased next-generation systems including the Rosomak-L armored vehicle, Ukraine’s Bohdana howitzer, Poland’s Bluszcz mine-laying vehicle, Hyundai WIA’s 105 mm self-propelled gun, and the Stormrider naval drone, highlighting the shift toward autonomy, precision, and rapid-reaction firepower (Picture source: Army Recognition Group).

One of the strongest highlights of the exhibition was the debut of the new Rosomak-L armored vehicle. Developed by Rosomak S.A. under the Polish Armaments Group PGZ, this extended-hull version of the proven 8x8 platform integrates the Turra 30 SA remote turret. Armed with a 30 mm cannon, a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun, and SPIKE LR/LR2 anti-tank guided missiles, the vehicle delivers a multi-role punch while keeping its crew fully protected inside the hull. The system also introduces advanced detection technology, including multi-mission radar, anti-sniper sensors, and acoustic tracking. Together, these features extend engagement capabilities beyond 4 km and elevate the Rosomak-L into a next-generation battlefield asset.

From Ukraine came the 2S22 Bohdana, a self-propelled howitzer already tested in combat and now displayed for the first time at MSPO. Built on an 8x8 wheeled chassis, it carries a 155 mm NATO-standard 52-caliber gun with a maximum firing range of 41 km using extended-range ammunition. Capable of employing the full NATO ammunition spectrum, the Bohdana symbolizes Ukraine’s integration with Western standards while demonstrating its value as a proven long-range precision system.

Poland also presented the Bluszcz unmanned mine-laying vehicle, marking a significant advance in autonomous mine warfare. This compact 4x4 platform can be operated remotely or follow pre-programmed routes, deploying up to 100 MN-123 anti-tank mines during a mission. Its programmable patterns, adjustable spacing, and speed-controlled deployment offer commanders precise control over obstacle placement. By combining autonomy with efficient payload delivery, the Bluszcz positions itself as a critical force multiplier for defensive operations.

In the artillery segment, South Korea’s Hyundai WIA unveiled its 105 mm self-propelled howitzer designed for rapid reaction units. The lightweight, 7-ton system is transportable by tactical airlift and requires only a two-man crew. Featuring fully automated gun laying, GPS/INS guidance, and shoot-and-scoot capability, it can deliver 18 km of range with rocket-assisted ammunition. This mobile gun platform highlights South Korea’s emphasis on agility and adaptability for expeditionary and fast-moving formations.

The maritime component of MSPO 2025 was underscored by the Stormrider unmanned combat boat developed by WB Group. Designed and prototyped in just nine months, the vessel has already undergone Baltic Sea trials and is optimized for reconnaissance, patrol, and strike operations. Drawing direct lessons from the naval warfare experience in Ukraine, Stormrider represents Poland’s rapid innovation in countering asymmetric maritime threats while reinforcing national coastal defense strategies.

MSPO 2025 provided a snapshot of the battlefield’s future, where land, sea, and artillery systems are evolving around autonomy, protection, mobility, and precision. Poland and its allies are clearly investing in solutions that not only respond to present-day challenges but also set the foundation for the future operating environment. From extended-range howitzers to unmanned naval combat systems, the exhibition underlined the strategic determination of NATO partners to maintain an edge in the face of rapidly changing threats.
