The Borsuk (Badger) is Poland's indigenously developed amphibious infantry fighting vehicle designed by HSW (Huta Stalowa Wola) and OBRUM to replace the BMP-1. It features the ZSSW-30 unmanned turret armed with a 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster II cannon and Spike LR anti-tank guided missile, plus 7.62mm coaxial MG. The vehicle weighs approximately 28 tonnes, swims without preparation, and provides STANAG 4569 Level 4 ballistic protection. An MTU diesel engine (~720 hp) provides 65 km/h road speed. Development began in 2013 with trials ongoing; industrial issues and design refinements have delayed the programme. It is intended to replace approximately 1,247 BMP-1/BWP-1 vehicles.
