Grot program: Poland awaiting grenade launchers

47

One of the potential participants of the Grot program for the supply of light anti-tank grenade launchers for the needs of the Polish Army has been announced. Recall that not just delivery is expected weapons, and the establishment of the process of its production in Poland.

The Bulgarian company Vazovsky Engineering Plant announced its desire to participate in the program. This is one of the oldest enterprises in Bulgaria, specializing in the production of artillery ammunition. At one time, the plant produced weapons for the needs of the Third Reich, and today it works for the needs of NATO.



As you know, Bulgaria has long been specializing in the production of hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers, which are modifications of the famous RPG-7 and RPG-22. The production process of grenade launchers and other light weapons was established when Bulgaria was a member of the Warsaw Pact Organization. The socialist bloc collapsed, and the production of weapons in Bulgaria remained.

Only now, "little brothers" began to serve completely different customers - from the security forces of Afghanistan and Iraq, which were created under the strict patronage of the United States, to the Syrian radical groups. At least, much is written about this in open sources. Now Bulgaria can act as a supplier of grenade launchers for the Polish Army. Compared with the jihadists of Syria, the Polish military is probably not the worst option.


Modification of the RPG-22 BULSPIKE proposed under the Grot program has undergone a number of changes. It has become more ergonomic, combined with modern sighting devices. The weight of the grenade launcher is only 3,4 kg, together with the 72,5 mm PG-22 shell. The weight of the projectile is 1,5 kg. It takes off at an initial speed of 133 meters per second. At the same time, you can shoot at 350 meters, but you can use weapons inside the building. For 8-10 seconds, the grenade launcher can be put on alert. It is reusable, but the reboot does not need to be done in the military unit, but in an enterprise that has the appropriate license.

Grot program: Poland awaiting grenade launchers

The upgraded version should be put into mass production in 2020. It is planned to equip a grenade launcher with an anti-tank warhead, increase the firing range to 500 meters, but the weight of the launcher itself will also increase. Although the line of 4 kg grenade launcher does not pass, which is very good.


The Bulgarian company signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Polish company Telesystem-Mesko, located in Lubichev, near the Polish capital of Warsaw. This company is known for its developments in the field of aiming and guidance systems. Thus, it is planned to completely “polonize” the production of Bulgarian grenade launchers for their subsequent delivery to the Polish Army.

Polish engineers plan to integrate Polish aiming systems with a Bulgarian grenade launcher, creating such a peculiar Polish-Bulgarian hybrid of weapons. The situation is greatly facilitated by the fact that Bulgaria and Poland are members of both NATO and the EU, that is, there are at least obstacles and restrictions between them for the development of defense cooperation.

In addition to the anti-tank grenade launcher, Bulgaria is ready to offer Polish enterprises cooperation in the field of creating laser-guided munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles, which is why the Grot program can be considered a kind of pilot project, the success of which will further depend on the cooperation of the Bulgarian and Polish military industries for the needs of the Polish Army.

    Alas...
    Brothers, they are ... brothers ...
    You can say as much as you like that the PEOPLE of Bulgaria treats Russia well.
    But, in fact, the GOVERNMENT spoils Russia as and wherever it can.
    Only Poland and Tribaltica are more eager to spoil.

      What a nonsense what (highlighted in the text of the quote) ... RPG, in fact, although "reloadable", in battle is disposable(I'm not sure that in the confusion someone will collect and store the spent tubes), and it also has a "modern sighting device", which takes time to remove ...

      Or will each tube be included with such a scope, and must be sent to "reboot" along with it?

      Is it expensive and hemorrhagic?

            What are the "confrontations"? Bulgaria refused to accept the American missile defense system on its territory, refused to participate in the formed Black Sea flotilla of NATO countries, Georgia and Ukraine, said that it did not plan to allow the construction of American bases on its territory, allowed the transportation of the Russian S-400 to the exercises in Serbia and much more, list it will turn out to be interesting ... For its persistence on important issues, some call Bulgaria "Russia's Trojan horse" in NATO. The Bulgarian policy in NATO towards Russia can be defined as a "reasonable opposition" to the anti-Russian actions of the union. By the way, according to the analysis of Western agencies, the population of Bulgaria is in the lead in sympathy for Russia in the EU. hi

                On March 3 this year, the country was under quarantine, and the weather on Shipki was bad, but events were held anyway, the president was also present.

                Unfortunately, I rarely see Russian tourists on Shipki. Sunbathing on our beaches, hundreds of thousands, for some reason, do not bother to go to Shipka, put flowers in the memory of their ancestors! Distances in Bulgaria are small, from the sea to Shipka only an hour and a half - two by car!

I talked with the Bulgarians, whom I saw - they say the same thing as you .... but, aphid It is not clear how it turns out that Bulgaria is a member of NATO, how it turns out. that in the two biggest wars of the 20th century, Bulgaria - sided with our enemies?
                  I love and respect the Bulgarians ... among those with whom I talked, I did not find a single Russophobe ... even here, on this site there were only a couple of pieces .... but it’s really annoying not even that you got into NATO - annoying - that you got into NATO, got into the European Union - yell about that. it’s not comfortable there .... and .... your leadership adheres to a completely Russophobic policy .... and they choose it ...
                  the population of Bulgaria chooses, well, there is no one else to choose ....
                  in free elections ....
                  so mean what? The population of Bulgaria is completely Russophobic, and only rare guys like you and those you showed in the photographs feel at least some gratitude to us?
                  And yes - we need her for your gratitude. however, like no one else - we would like not to be spoiled by us, like, for example, the Poles, not to blame Konev like the Czechs ... sort of and we demand a little ... what do you think?
                  Come on, I will not continue the topic, and you will think about what I said ... and then .... if you want, answer.

                    Hello Vladimir! hi
                    Here you ask a few questions that I constantly meet on ru-forums and in personal communication with Russians! The seeming paradoxes in relations between Russia and Bulgaria, whose people are close, kindred, friendly, actually have a completely logical explanation! You just need to know the facts, chronology, cause-effect relationships of events, and 99% of Russians do not know them! The propaganda in rus-media is largely to blame, which totally distorts reality. There is propaganda in Bulgaria, but here the situation is completely different, the peculiarities of the national mentality protect the Bulgarians from its influence to a much greater degree. Even the Bulgarian Russophiles state the fact of massed Bulgarian propaganda in Russia! In Bulgaria since the 90s the most massive NGO is the Bulgarian National Movement "Russophiles". In no other country there is nothing comparable in scale, in Serbia such an organization appeared quite recently. Here is one example, by the way there are a lot of them! Letter of appeal to the President of the Russian Federation - V.V. Putin:

                    I love and respect the Bulgarians ... among those with whom I talked, I did not find a single Russophobe ... even here, on this site there were only a couple of pieces ...

                    We have real russophobes, probably not more than a hundred square meters in the whole country. Well, there are some among the Bulgarian Turks. There is not one on VO. Our people react to verbal aggression and provocations, which are in bulk here. So, in Bulgaria there are people with right-wing convictions, they do not like communism and Stalin, but they also like Russians. There are those who did not like the reactionary nature of the Russian empire, they are anti-monarchists, people with leftist convictions, they also love Russians! In Russia, for some reason, all of them are called "Russophobes"! According to this "logic" it is necessary to declare the majority of Russians as Russophobes! Yes?

                    how it turns out. that in the two biggest wars of the 20th century, Bulgaria - sided with our enemies?

                    Here is an honest answer on a period to 1VM given to Konstantin Gaivoronsky:

                    According to 2MB, it seems that the situation with Bulgaria in modern Russia is, in general, the apotheosis of propaganda! Many times I have given lengthy comments on VO with facts! I will write max. short!
                    In WW2, Bulgaria has been resolving issues since 1878, which could not be resolved during the 1-2 Balkan and WWII wars! Free the territories with the compact Bulgarian population, occupied by Serbia, Greece and Romania! Moreover, she did everything possible so as not to take part in the war against the USSR! Incredible, but it succeeded! Bulgaria and the USSR supported the norms. diplomatic relations for the whole war! And since 1, the Bulgarian army actively fought against the Wehrmacht! It was the second largest foreign military group allied with the Red Army to the east. front!

                    that you got into NATO, got into the European Union - yell about that. it’s not comfortable there ....

                    1. Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004 (14 years after the collapse of the ATS), at a time when Aliance and the Russian Federation were friends, partnered, relations were excellent! Why did we end up in NATO? 82% of the population was against it, I myself went to rallies. But ... I was wrong! Why? Because, after the 90s, my country fell into a very difficult internal and foreign political situation! Since the 80s we had an ethnic time bomb! Local Turks shook, and next to 80 million Turkey and all of NATO! Yugoslavia blazed, the Russian Federation did not help her in any way! Bulgaria went bankrupt from socialism, the economy was in ruins, debts exceeded GDP 1,5-2 times! Bulgaria, which was half a century loyal to the USSR ally, turned out to be among the defeated countries in the bloodless 3MB! And we did not have a single ally! We urgently needed a respite! Joining NATO turned out to be uncontested! It was in the interest of the country!
                    As for the EU, everything is clear here! The benefits for the country are huge! EU essentially save Bulgaria! The economy has recovered, revenues have grown, the treasury is filled with money! Now the majority of the population (2/3) support the EU!
                    we would like not to be crap on us, like, for example, the Poles, not to blame Konev, like the Czechs ... sort of and we demand a little ... what do you think?

                    Your claims about Polsha, Czech Republic are well-founded. But to Bulgaria they have no basis! Your propaganda puts everyone under the same denominator, while deliberately omitting facts that indicate an obvious difference! There are hundreds of them, but in rus-media ... not a word! They trumpet that "Soviet monuments were outraged in Bulgaria", when some idiot in the dark of the night sprinkled something there !! It is not mentioned that in Bulgaria there are more than 530 monuments in honor of Russia / USSR and not a single one has been demolished! They don't say that we build new ones almost every year! Where in what other country is there such? They do not say that the Bulgarian state is spending millions of euros to support these monuments! Why do they choose only the negative, but they keep silent about the positive, which is hundreds of times more?
                    I got a very lengthy answer, I'm sorry! If you are interested, go to my account, there are more than my 4000 reasoned answers to all your potential questions!
                    I wish you and all Russians peace, good luck and most importantly - enlightenment! hi Ignorance is the mother of all sins!

      ... Bulgarian company "Vazovsky Engineering Plant" .... At one time, the plant produced weapons for the needs of the Third Reich ....

      Reading such wildly incorrect hints, I am left with the impression that anti-Bulgarian propaganda is being deliberately and purposefully conducted in VO! VSW was opened on July 12, 1940 and began production of German technology and licenses for fuses, hand grenades, 22 mm high-explosive fragmentation shells, 75 mm shells, 105 mm shells and 122 mm howitzer shells, for the Bulgarian army, which was armed with these systems! Production was insufficient in quantity even to satisfy their own needs; no export was carried out in Germany or other countries! At that time, Bulgaria was experiencing an acute shortage of munitions, in warehouses there were shells for exercises. It was not possible to produce and accumulate the required quantity until September 44, due to the lack of production fraud and materials. Therefore, when the Bulgarian army, after September 44, entered the war on the side of the anti-Hitler coalition, the Soviet Union handed over to the Bulgarians weapons with which 5 Bulgarian divisions were fully equipped.
      But, in fact, the GOVERNMENT spoils Russia as and wherever it can. Only Poland and Tribaltica are more eager to spoil.

      This is also a propaganda myth replicated in rus-media. For what purpose ... topic for another discussion ... hi
      You can say as much as you like that the PEOPLE of Bulgaria treats Russia well.

      Not only the people, but also in all the Bulgarian parties there are forces that are quite friendly towards Russia. In Parliament, even in the government! The openly pro-Russian Ataka party is still part of the ruling coalition!

        The presence of ammunition and weapons produced in Bulgaria by ISIS militants, the national battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will also be referred to as "anti-Bulgarian propaganda", or will follow balanced, devoid of emotions, reasoned answer ?

          Is the presence of ammunition and weapons produced in Bulgaria by ISIS militants, the national battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, also referred to as "anti-Bulgarian propaganda", or will there be a balanced, emotionless, reasoned answer?

          The first thing I want to say is the unproven hardenings from the media. Some of them are clearly unfounded. I have commented on VO more than once, I will not be repeated.
          Second, all Bulgarian weapon manufacturing companies are private. They do not sell weapons directly! But if we look at the well-known data on the recipient firms, there are most of them with non-Bulgarian names, including Russian ones. Again, I repeat - where the weapon beats up later, it is the responsibility of the buyer! There is not a single gram of emotion in my statements, I am not a shareholder of any such company and do not have any sympathy for them. laughing
          And tell me, pytar (Boyan Ivanov), how did you react so quickly to the appearance of an article about Bulgaria, do you have a nose for such articles?

          I have been at the HE since April 2013. During socialism, I was subscribed to many Soviet military-technical magazines. Usually, drinking a cup of coffee every morning, I read what's new here. It is clear, first of all, I am interested in topics related to my country. Fine!
          Looking at the Russian info-resources, I note that in relation to Bulgaria, from a few years, there is a clear tendentiousness, subjectivity, I’ll say frankly - a Bulgarian -ophobic campaign is underway! What is it connected with, a question for another discussion ... I have my own theory. I say with sadness how a person is vitally connected with Russia, I do not care how the relations between our countries develop! In my deep conviction, relations between Russia and Bulgaria should be close, even fraternal, since we are kindred peoples, with a common civilizational code!

          Dear Victor, hi politics is always ambiguous! She is guided by interests! It happened more than once, there were contradictions in our interests. It is a fact. Of course, there will always be people who will blame the other for "crap". For each event, there are different interpretations from both sides. You have to understand that the same situation may look completely different from different sides! Propaganda aimed at inciting phobic sentiments works on such a principle - it shows only the points of view that are convenient for it. hi

          I have no doubt that the illegal channels, weapons produced in Bulgaria, fall into the hands of terrorists. But, through such channels weapons come from all over the world. For example, the Russian RPG-32 how are they? Most likely, through Jordan, where they are produced in Russia. licenses! Russia does not test, because Jordanians pay pretty much for licenses!
          As for this video, I was expecting it to appear. Do you know the details of this story? Unlikely! Let me explain: A video report from the Bulgarian journalist Dilyana Gaitanjieva from 2015 from Aleppo. During the investigation, it becomes clear that the weapons delivered under the legal contract of Saudi Arabia. We can assume that the Saudis ego passed on to the barmaley. But here a little bit serial questions arise! Journalist demonstrates chests with the inscription of the plant VMZ-Sopot and shipping documents! Usually, with illegal deliveries, inscriptions and markings are deleted, and the documents could not have ended up in the tunnels where the bd are being kept! Moreover, it was established that neither labeling nor documents comply with Bulgarian standards! Most likely this is a setup, probably from the competitors. The main version is the unresolved dispute between the BG and the Russian Federation on licenses. In 2017, Gaitanjieva came out with material on the supply of Bulgarian weapons to Azerbaijan, which later turned out to be in Syria. We are talking about completely legitimate contracts.
          And here is one important detail - Gaitandzhieva is a journalist for the Trud newspaper, whose owners have personal and business connections with structures from the Russian Federation.
          And in order to get a real "compote", Gaitandzhieva already in 2019 makes journalistic disclosures about the supply of a huge amount of weapons to Yemeni ISIS produced in Serbia / Krusik factory /. The export contract was concluded between the state-owned company Yugoimport SDPR and the American Alliance Techsystems, on behalf of the American government. Serbia exports weapons to BV by 30-40% more than BG, but before this incident, no one in the Russian Federation raised claims against it. And then suddenly ... it turns out through a newspaper close to the Russian Federation! I can’t know the reason, but I got to the info that at that time Serbian companies supplied weapons to several Arabian countries, knocking out Russian suppliers ... I don’t know whether it was true or not.
          And a few words not in connection with the foregoing - the Russian Federation supplies UAE armored vehicles. On them, the emirates fought in Yemen against the Hussites, whom Iran supplies with their weapons!
          In short, much is vague in these topics, but there is no morality in trading with weapons! Each / including the RF / supplies weapons to everyone who can pay for it.

Regardless of the woman who came to see Putin with the yellow button, it becomes clear that the "tovarisch" Author "organized" the article by "jabbing" fragments of a "foreign language" text (maybe Bulgarian ... ) into "their" history ... even without reading it properly ...! It remains to ask: have the Bulgarians really become so poor that they are happy to collect plastic? I understand the Germans at the end of WW2 with their faust cartridges ... everything is in short supply due to wartime ... and ferrous scrap and now are collected and handed over to scrap metal collection points for money ... But the "plastic" weapon is "invented" for that. so that it was not only light, but also "junk"! ... Why did the "disposable" weapon have to be called "reusable" if it was not? Again, I see the reason for this absurdity in "automatic insertion of text fragments ..."! The author simply did not bother to choose the words in Russian for the "Bulgarian" fragment! The RPG-22 can also be "reloaded" if desired, but it is called a disposable weapon ...
