These small arms were transferred to Ukraine by Poland as part of military assistance after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion. According to open sources, Ukrainian troops could receive 10,000 units of such assault rifles. Polish GROT C16 assault rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge was under development since 2007.
