Kryl prototype (2017)

The AHS Kryl is a 155 mm NATO-compatible self-propelled wheeled howitzer (or more precisely a gun-howitzer) designed in Poland by Centrum Produkcji Wojskowej Huta Stalowa Wola. It is a licensed copy of the Israeli ATMOS 2000 52-caliber gun mounted on a Polish Jelcz 663 armoured 6×6 chassis and integrating WB Electronics' "Topaz" artillery fire control system.

The prototype was built by June 2014.[1] A series production was planned from 2021 but never started.[1]
