PPZR Grom, Man-portable air-defense system, Air Defense2008 Russo-Georgian War, 2014 Russia-Ukraine WarPPZR GromMan-portable air-defense systemBuilt by: MESKO S.A.PPZR Grom is a Polish shoulder-fired infrared surface-to-air missile system built by MESKO for very-short-range defense against visually acquired aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, and other infrared-emitting targets. Open reporting ties the system to Georgian use in the 2008 2008 Russo-Georgian War and to a Grom launcher tube reportedly seized from pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014.
PPZR Piorun, Man-portable air-defense system, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine WarPPZR PiorunMan-portable air-defense systemBuilt by: MESKO S.A.PPZR Piorun is a Polish shoulder-fired infrared air-defense missile system produced by MESKO as the modernized Grom-family successor. Poland approved Piorun deliveries to Ukraine in February 2022, and Ukrainian National Guard units later reported using the system against Russian aircraft around Bakhmut, making it one of the catalog's directly documented short-range air-defense transfers in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
MARS-L, Mobile combined PSR/SSR L-band air-surveillance radar, Air DefenseMARS-LMobile combined PSR/SSR L-band air-surveillance radarBuilt by: Altimus-TechMARS-L is Altimus-Tech's mobile L-band radar that combines primary-surveillance and secondary-surveillance channels on a one-vehicle system. The manufacturer markets it for aircraft detection, interrogation, track generation, radar-data distribution, and air-defense support, including use as a low-altitude surveillance radar, radar-field gap filler, and target-acquisition sensor for upgraded Soviet-legacy surface-to-air missile packages.
AMBER-1800, Mobile VHF-band air surveillance radar, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine WarAMBER-1800Mobile VHF-band air surveillance radarBuilt by: Altimus-TechAMBER-1800 is a mobile VHF-band air surveillance radar associated with the LiTak-Tak and Altimus-Tech industrial lineage. The two-vehicle system uses a deployable antenna and solid-state transmitter/receiver equipment to detect and track air targets, then distribute radar data to air-defense users. RUSI identifies Ukraine's related Burshtyn-1800 radar in service during the 2022 full-scale phase, while Lithuania committed funding for six AMBER-1800-family mobile air-surveillance radars for Ukraine under Germany's Immediate Action on Air Defence initiative in 2024.
ZU-23-2, Towed twin 23 mm anti-aircraft autocannon, Air Defense2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict +3 moreZU-23-2Towed twin 23 mm anti-aircraft autocannonBuilt by: KBP Instrument Design Bureau / Various manufacturersThe ZU-23-2 is a Soviet twin 23 mm towed anti-aircraft autocannon built around two 2A14 guns on a light carriage. Its manual sighting, rapid emplacement, and high volume of fire make it a close-range air-defense weapon against low-flying aircraft, helicopters, and drones, while many operators also use it for direct fire against light vehicles and infantry positions. Ukrainian forces have used ZU-23-2 guns in mobile and positional air-defense teams during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, Armenian-side losses in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh fighting included towed and vehicle-mounted ZU-23 guns, and conflict monitors documented ZU-23 or ZU-23-2-pattern use in Yemen, Tigray, and northern Mali.

Iraqi Dzik-3 vehicles, locally known as Ain Jaria-1, entered Iraqi security-force service during the 2003 Iraq War and were later documented among Islamic State-captured or destroyed Iraqi equipment in the 2013 War in Iraq. Polish Dzik-2 vehicles were supplied to Ukraine during the 2022 full-scale phase of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, where open-source loss trackers later documented destroyed and captured examples.
KTO Rosomak, 8x8 wheeled armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle family, Armored Vehicles2001 War in Afghanistan, 2014 Russia-Ukraine WarKTO Rosomak8x8 wheeled armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle familyBuilt by: Rosomak S.A.The KTO Rosomak is Poland's licensed Patria AMV-based 8x8 armored vehicle family, built by Rosomak S.A. in Siemianowice Slaskie for infantry transport, fire support, medical evacuation, command, and specialist support roles. Patria traces the program to a 2003 technology-transfer start, Polish combat use in Afghanistan, and a fleet that grew toward 900 vehicles; Ukraine's Ministry of Defence later described Rosomak APCs, Hitfist-30P combat variants, and Rak mortar carriers in Ukrainian service.

AHS Krab, 155 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer, Artillery2014 Russia-Ukraine WarAHS Krab155 mm tracked self-propelled howitzerBuilt by: Huta Stalowa WolaThe AHS Krab is a Polish 155 mm tracked self-propelled howitzer built by Huta Stalowa Wola around a NATO-standard 52-caliber gun, an AS-90 Braveheart turret lineage, a K9-derived tracked chassis, and the TOPAZ fire-control ecosystem. In Ukrainian service it gives artillery units a mobile Western-caliber gun able to fire standard and precision 155 mm ammunition, displace after missions, and operate in counter-battery-threatened sectors of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
K239 Chunmoo, Wheeled multiple rocket launcher system, Artillery2014 Yemen Civil WarK239 ChunmooWheeled multiple rocket launcher systemBuilt by: Hanwha AerospaceThe K239 Chunmoo is a South Korean 8x8 multiple rocket launcher system built by Hanwha Aerospace around modular launch pods for guided rockets and tactical missiles. Official Hanwha and Korea Defense Industry Association material describes CGR-080, CTM-MR, CTM-290, anti-ship ballistic missile, and training munitions for the same launcher family. Public evidence now ties the system to Saudi border-defense deployment during the Yemen war and to export configurations for Poland, Estonia, Norway, and Middle Eastern users.
ATS-59-122, Yemeni 122 mm tracked self-propelled artillery conversion, Artillery2014 Yemen Civil WarATS-59-122Yemeni 122 mm tracked self-propelled artillery conversionBuilt by: Unknown / KMZ / Kurgan / Bumar-LabedyThe ATS-59-122 is a rare Yemeni self-propelled artillery conversion that pairs an ATS-59-family tracked artillery tractor with a 122 mm D-30-type gun. Its Yemen Civil War record is source-limited: Oryx identifies the vehicle in pre-war Yemeni Army self-propelled artillery stocks, while separate sources support the Soviet/Polish chassis lineage and distinguish related North Korean Tokchon ATS-59-based guns from the Yemeni conversion.

140 mm M-14 rocket, 140 mm unguided artillery rocket, Munitions2011 Syrian Civil War140 mm M-14 rocket140 mm unguided artillery rocketBuilt by: Soviet ordnance productionThe 140 mm M-14 is a Soviet spin-stabilized artillery rocket family developed for BM-14 and RPU-14 multiple rocket launchers. Open references identify high-explosive fragmentation, smoke/incendiary, and chemical-warhead branches; conflict documentation places an M-14 rocket motor in the 2013 Western Ghouta attack during the Syrian Civil War, with attribution and payload evidence handled narrowly because public imagery and UN reporting identify the motor and attack context more clearly than a recovered intact M-14 warhead.

PT-91 Twardy, Main battle tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine WarPT-91 TwardyMain battle tankBuilt by: Bumar-LabedyThe PT-91 Twardy is a Polish T-72M1-derived main battle tank from Bumar-Labedy, combining the familiar three-crew 125 mm autoloaded layout with domestic ERAWA reactive armor, Drawa-family fire-control improvements, and Polish powerpack options. The family also includes the Malaysian PT-91M Pendekar export branch with a 1,000 hp-class powerpack and revised fire-control package, while Ukraine's wartime examples are Polish-supplied T-72-family tanks used for direct armored fire against Russian positions.
T-72M1, Main battle tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine WarT-72M1Main battle tankBuilt by: Uralvagonzavod / Bumar-Labedy / ZTS Dubnica nad VahomThe T-72M1 is a T-72A-derived export and licensed-production main battle tank built around a three-person crew, an autoloaded 125 mm gun, improved turret protection, and an added glacis armor plate compared with earlier T-72M export tanks. Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Soviet production made the model common in Warsaw Pact and export inventories, and Polish, Czech, and Bulgarian stocks became part of Ukraine's armored force during the full-scale phase of the Russia-Ukraine War.
T-54/T-55, Main battle tank / medium tank family, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2009 Boko Haram Insurgency +7 moreT-54/T-55Main battle tank / medium tank familyBuilt by: Uralvagonzavod / Kharkiv Locomotive Factory / Various manufacturersThe T-54/T-55 is a Soviet tank family built around a low-profile tracked hull, four-person crew, and 100 mm D-10-series gun. It became one of the most widely produced tank families of the Cold War, with Soviet and licensed production spreading across Warsaw Pact and partner states. Direct conflict sourcing traces the family from North Vietnamese T-54 use in the 1975 fall of Saigon and Iraqi T-55s in the Gulf War to recent secondary fire-support, capture, and loss contexts in Ukraine, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Nigeria, and Sudan.
T-34/85 Tank, Medium tank, Tanks2014 Russia-Ukraine War, 2014 Yemen Civil WarT-34/85 TankMedium tankBuilt by: Soviet state tank factories / Polish and Czechoslovak manufacturersThe T-34/85 is the 85 mm-gun version of the Soviet T-34 medium tank, built in large numbers in the Soviet Union and later in Poland and Czechoslovakia. Its modern relevance comes from isolated post-Cold War survival rather than contemporary capability: sources document reactivated Yemeni tanks used as mobile direct-fire support and exceptional 2014 Russia-Ukraine War appearances involving recovered monument vehicles.
