Poland has all the essential competences to make specified a system: we have engines, heads, electronics and sensors. All elements of this puzzle are available in the Polish manufacture – emphasises Remigius Wilk, manager of Communication of the WB Group,.

Lanca is primarily a ground-to-earth missile, with the anticipation of utilizing water-to-earth in configuration. – It provides large fire capability at hundreds of kilometres. This allows not only to increase security, but besides to remove our forces from the immediate threat," says Remigius Wilk. What precisely are the distances? At this phase of work, the WB Group does not disclose specified data. “However, we are talking about operating range,” the typical of the company reserves. This word applies to missiles with a scope of 300 to 500 km.
