AHS Krab manufactured in Poland by the Defense Company HSW (Huta Stalowa Wola) in cooperation with BAE Systems and OBRUM. Link to "www.armyrecognition.com" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHS_Krab -- Last edit: 2019-10-19 17:13:35 |

This one looks like based on Samsung K9 chassis - first K9 chassis were imported from Korea, later ones (since 2018?) are/will be made by HSW. |

British turrets were used only in 1st two prototypes, by what I understand from pl.wikipedia. Next vehicles had it from HSW and yes - HSW has to be also the place where turret is attached to chassis. |

so we list it as Stalowa Wola producer or HSW ? their construction machines are listed as Stalowa Wola -- Last edit: 2019-10-19 19:07:02 |

It was changed and later "HSW" was used as brand also for construction vehicles. The construction vehicles business has been sold to Chinese and they use now brands "Dressta" (old brand of Stalowa Wola on some export markets) or "Stalowa Wola" again. Military vehicles division however didn't change owner and use HSW name/brand. But what with Samsung chassis in case of naming? -- Last edit: 2019-10-19 19:16:16 |

Samsung could be put as as extra info it's not uncommon for such vehicles being assembled and turret and the actual drive chassis being from completely different producer |

OK. Additionally I see now that Samsung Techwin changed its name to Hanwha Techwin, but I bet it was already after this deal. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanwha_Techwin |
