Simultaneously, the Polish Ministry of Defence released the first photos of the K239 Chunmoo rocket launcher integrated with the chassis of Jelcz P882.57, produced by the Polish defence industry (by Jelcz company, a subsidiary of the Polish Armaments Group).
The occasion to present this weapon system was the visit of the Polish Minister of Defense to the Republic of Korea. It was also the official roll-out of the first light combat aircraft FA-50GF intended for the Polish Air Force.
