I have heard that Ploand will be using the AS-90

My question is::

Are they going to mount the turret to a T-72 hull or build the whole vehicle

T-55A as far as I’ve read, the AS90’s turret is supposed to be added to a whole new chassis, not the T-72. The chassis is to be built in Poland by OBRUM.

Hope this helps

Polish new howitzer will use AS-90 turret on completely new chassis. The name of the new vehicle is Krab (lobster).

Just a small nit pick: the english translation for the polish word 'krab' is simply 'crab'

Cheers,
