The Poprad Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Missile System (SPZR) is a very-short-range air defense (VSHORAD) system. Like the Soła short-range radar station, it is mounted on the AMZ-Kutno Żubr-P chassis. Together, they are designed to protect important facilities, equipment groupings, and troops in the lowest layer of the air and missile defense system. It is used to detect, identify, and destroy air targets at short ranges, up to 5,500 m, and low altitudes, up to 3,500 m.
Its armament consists of four Grom or Piorun very-short-range anti-aircraft missiles. The systems are equipped, among other things, with a tracking and targeting head, an automatic target-tracking system based on a video camera operating in visible light and infrared, and an identification friend-or-foe system. The system can operate autonomously or as part of an integrated air defense system. The first firing of Piorun missiles was carried out at the end of 2020, and deliveries of 79 systems to the Polish Armed Forces were completed on December 15, 2021.
The system’s users include the Air Force Training Center, the 8th Koszalin Anti-Aircraft Regiment, the 4th Zielona Góra Anti-Aircraft Regiment, the 15th Gołdap Anti-Aircraft Regiment, the 21st Podhale Rifles Brigade, the 15th Giżycko Mechanized Brigade, the 17th Greater Poland Mechanized Brigade, and the 19th Lublin Mechanized Brigade. The Poprad Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft Missile System was unsuccessfully offered to Portugal.
