The KTO ''Rosomak'' (''KTO'' for ''Kołowy Transporter Opancerzony'' – pol. ''Wheeled Armored Vehicle''; ''Rosomak'' is Polish for ''Wolverine'') is 8×8 multi-role military vehicle produced by (WZM S.A. ) (Wojskowe Zakłady Mechaniczne Spółka Akcyjna w Siemianowicach Śląskich – lit. Military Mechanical Works Joint Stock Company in Siemianowice Śląskie). The vehicle is a licensed variant of Patria's Armored Modular Vehicle. == History == In December 2002, the Polish Ministry of National Defense signed a contract to buy 690 Patria AMV vehicles, to be manufactured in Poland. The main competitors of the AMV were the MOWAG Piranha and Steyr Pandur. The Polish version features major changes from the original Patria AMV, such as the ability to be transported by C-130 Hercules or to swim through water obstacles. As part of the initial order of 690 vehicles were to be delivered in two basic variants: 313 combat IFV and 377 transport/special base vehicles. In October 2013 order increased to 997 for delivery between 2014 and 2019,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Poland Orders 300 Armored Modular Vehicles )〕 vehicles will be delivered in following versions: * 359 combat vehicles armed with a 30 mm gun turret, some also armed with Spike ATGM; * 122 combat vehicles armed with an unmanned 30 mm gun turret and Spike ATGM;〔(Kolejne Rosomaki dla WP. ) 〕 * 516 base line vehicles used as a base for other variants. The name ''Rosomak'' (Polish for ''Wolverine'') was chosen following a contest organized by the Nowa Technika Wojskowa magazine. The Rosomak will replace obsolete OT-64 SKOT APCs and partially the BWP-1 IFV currently in service with Polish Land Forces.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KTO Rosomak )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KTO Rosomak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
