PZR Grom
ThePZR Grom (PZR standsfor Przeciwlotniczy Zestaw Rakietowy, Anti-Aircraft Rocket-propelled Set while Grom means thunder in Polish), is a surface-to-air missile developed in Poland. During the 1980s, Poland planned to replace their old SA-7 Grail with a more modern system, but political turmoils and the fact that Poland left the Soviet Bloc in 1990, left Poland without modern MANPADS. The Soviet Union decided to not lend the licences for their SA-18, but in the turmoil of the Soviet Union dissolution, the Polish intelligence was able to acquire the original design plans of the SA-18 Grouse.
A new and improved version called Piorun (Lighting Strike in Polish) was developed in the 2010s.
