Ukraine no longer has to send its Rosomak APCs abroad for repairs. The 146th Separate Repair-Restoration Regiment has announced that its troops have completed specialized training in Poland to service and repair Rosomak armored personnel carriers.
That shortens repair time and keeps damaged APCs closer to the units that need them, at a moment when Ukraine is pushing to do more of its own military maintenance rather than depend on foreign workshops.
Ukrainian troops completed course at modern Polish military base
The training was conducted at a modern Polish base by local instructors who work with the Rosomak and covered the vehicle's structure, its main systems, diagnostics, servicing, and fault correction.
The troops gave particular attention to modern diagnostic equipment, finding hidden defects, and repairing the running gear and weapons systems. All of them passed final exams and received certificates confirming their qualification.
Domestic repair keeps vehicles in fight
Sending an armored vehicle abroad for repair means losing it for weeks or months due to transport delays, queues, and the return trip. For a wartime army, that is the time a vehicle spends off the battlefield rather than on it.
The regiment said the new knowledge will significantly improve the quality and speed of repair work and provide effective technical support for the Rosomak directly in Ukrainian units.
In 2023, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that the Ukrainian Army purchased 100 Polish KTO Rosomak armored vehicles. He revealed the Ukrainian order would be financed through EU and US funds.
Domestic maintenance is wider Ukrainian push
The Rosomak training fits a broader Ukrainian drive toward self-sufficiency in keeping Western equipment operational. Ukraine has worked to localize repair and production for donated systems across the board, reducing the downtime and dependence that come with shipping damaged equipment back to the countries that supplied it.
The same logic runs through Ukraine's defense-industrial scaling. Ukraine built 90% of its newly authorized weapons itself in the first half of 2026, up from 70% a year earlier.
