Hanwha Aerospace Poland Chunmoo Deal 2025: A Massive $4 Billion Contract Signed
Hanwha Aerospace signed a $4 billion contract with Poland for Chunmoo MLRS and CGR-080 missiles. The deal includes local production in Poland starting 2030.
A 5.6 trillion-won ($4 billion) defense jackpot's been clinched. Hanwha Aerospace capped off 2025 by signing a major contract with Poland's arms procurement agency. This isn't just another sale; it's a strategic move that brings missile production directly to European soil.
Hanwha Aerospace Poland Chunmoo Deal: Breaking Down the $4 Billion Pact
According to Hanwha Aerospace, the third-stage agreement was finalized in Warsaw on December 29, 2025. The deal focuses on supplying the CGR-080, an 80-kilometer-range guided missile. These missiles will serve as the primary ammunition for Poland's Homar-K system, a localized variant of the South Korean Chunmoo multiple launch rocket system (MLRS).
Strategic Sovereignty through Local Production
The contract's a game-changer because it involves heavy technology transfer. Hanwha-WB, a joint venture with Poland's WB Group, will operate a dedicated manufacturing plant in Poland. Deliveries are scheduled to kick off in 2030. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that the agreement fulfills a long-held ambition for production independence within the Homar-K program.
| Contract Phase | Year | Value (KRW) |
|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | 2022 | 5.03 Trillion |
| Stage 2 | 2024 | 2.2 Trillion |
| Stage 3 | 2025 | 5.6 Trillion |
South Korea's Global Defense Ambitions
South Korea's rise as an arms exporter is accelerating. Presidential Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik noted that Poland has signed over $10 billion in defense deals with Korea since June 2025. In 2025 alone, the country exported $15.2 billion worth of weapons, moving closer to its goal of becoming one of the world's top four arms exporters. The reliability of Korean tech is now opening doors in Europe and Latin America.
