The Polish Army is currently looking for a new system to replace its old RPG-7 (rocket-propelled grenade) with a more modern weapon. According to the Polish Army's requirements, the new system has to be lightweight and have anti-tank capacity. And The M72 could be the ideal successor of the Polish Army RPG-7.

Per Einar Berger, Nammo’s Director Polish Programs for shoulder fired systems, told Army Recognition that several demonstrations of the M72 LAW have been organized with the Polish Army and they seemed enthusiastic about the performance and the efficiency of the Nammo's system.

The cost effectiveness of the M72 and the fact that a soldier can carry several systems on a mission as opposed to some competitor's solutions are additional assets in favor of the Norwegian weapon.
