A Polish-made remote-controlled weapon station has delivered disappointing results in military trials, failing to meet even basic firing accuracy requirements. According to Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita, the domestically developed A3B combat module performed far below the standards set by the country’s armed forces.

The module had initially been considered as an armament option for combat vehicles Poland is purchasing from South Korea. However, the results of live-fire testing raised serious doubts about whether the system could meet the army’s operational requirements.

During the trials, the weapon station was tested against both stationary and moving targets. At a distance of just 500 meters, its hit rate reached only 26%, compared with the required 90%.

Performance deteriorated even further as the distance increased.

At 1,000 meters, the system achieved an accuracy rate of only 10%, according to Rzeczpospolita. The newspaper noted that military standards require a minimum performance level of 70% at that distance.

The most severe failure occurred during firing tests at 1,500 meters. Military documents revealed that the A3B failed to hit any targets, recording a success rate of 0%.

The problems were not limited to daytime engagements against conventional targets. The documents also described unsuccessful night-firing trials and poor results during tests involving unmanned aerial vehicles.

The findings have raised questions about the suitability of the Polish-developed combat module for the military vehicles it was originally intended to equip.
