Kolczatka

Poland·Tank Destroyer·ATSPG sniper

In the early 1970s, Poland started developing the Kolczatka experimental tank destroyer, focusing on high mobility and low costs compared to heavier vehicles. An open fighting compartment and a crew of four simplified construction and reduced the weight. A fire-control system with a laser rangefinder and a night sight was supposed to be a key feature. The designers also planned to use a unified chassis from Zakłady Mechaniczne Łabędy with tracks with rubber shoes, enabling the vehicle to drive at high speeds and use public roads. The project was closed at the blueprint phase in the latter half of the 1970s due to financial constraints, dependence on cooperation within the Warsaw Pact, and the military's shift of interest toward ATGMs.
