History

Class: Light Tank (Prototype)
Developed: 2008-2010
Service: N/A
Vehicles Built: 1-2
Operators: N/A

The Anders Multi-Role Combat Platform (Wielozadaniowa Platforma Bojowa, WPB) started as an attempt to replace the aging Soviet-era arsenal with something more suitable for the modern battlefield. The platform was named after General Władysław Albert Anders, a famous commander of the Polish forces in the Second World War. The initial idea was to transform the Polish armed forces to a highly-mobile force organized into Mechanized Brigades, equipped with either light wheeled vehicles (the Rosomak platform) or with tracked vehicles (the Anders platform). The Puma family of upgraded BMPs was also considered for the role, but the program was canceled earlier on.

The actual development started in 2008. It took only 24 months to develop the platform and to build a demonstrator of the Light Tank configuration. The Light Tank configuration demonstrator was first introduced to public during the MSPO 2010 expo in Kielce. The prototype was intended for a crew of three men (driver, commander and gunner) and was made of welded steel plates. The vehicle was equipped with a low-profile manned turret with the crew sitting in the turret basket inside the hull. The turret was armed with a Swiss 120mm RUAG smoothbore gun.

The MSPO introduction of the vehicle was met with lukewarm response. The most common criticisms included the fact that the vehicle was under-developed at the time and its protection levels were considered insufficient. These issues resulted in the military’s dismissal of the project. Despite these setbacks, OBRUM continued to develop the platform, resulting in an IFV configuration demonstrator. Another Fire Support version also appeared two years later, this time with a Belgian CT-CV turret by Cockerill, armed with a 105mm gun. This variant was introduced to public during the EUROSATORY expo in Paris in 2012. The platform re-appeared in 2016 under a different name as an IFV but, once again, went nowhere, this time likely for good.
