On March 15, in the morning, the crew of the M28B 1R aircraft of the Polish Military Contingent EU Sophia performed the first reconnaissance mission on the Mediterranean.

The purpose of the mission was to recognize the southern-western part of the Mediterranean and locate boats with illegal migrants, as well as commercial units suspected of smuggling oil, weapons or drugs. Data about detected objects were passed to the mission headquarters. After less than a three-hour patrol, Bryza landed at the take-off airport, at Sigonella's NATO base in Sicily.

Are these 120mm Mobile mortars?, do you have a name for them in poland? what chassis are they on? wow so many questions

 

[Conhoon]

These are self-propelled mortars on the chassis of the Polish version of the Finnish transporter Patria AMV (built in plant in Siemianowice Śląskie). The tower together with the weaponry is completely Polish construction. The name of this mortar is "Rak" (in English - "Crawdad") - artillery systems (barrel and rocket) get the names of crustaceans - Rak (Crawdad), Krab (Crab), Langusta ...

It is worth noting participation in the exercises of this vehicle:

The Radiolocation Station ZDPSR "SOŁA" is designed for airspace control, detection and tracking of routes detected in this area. The radar output contains full information about the detected object, including three position coordinates, speed, course and helicopter classification as a separate target category.

In addition to typical air objects, radar detects unmanned aerial vehicles and mortar shells. Its main application is operation in air defense systems of land forces for the protection of columns of troops, clusters and objects of special importance.

The station is built on an armored (and mine explosion protected) "Żubr" chassis

This vehicle and equipment (radar system) was developed and produced in Poland
