The GROM (meaning "thunder" in Polish) is a 72 mm anti-aircraft missile set with a flight speed of 650 m/s developed in Poland. This is not to be confused with two other missiles of the same name (Grom-A and Grom-B) developed by Yugoslavia/Serbia. The 'Grom' has been used in Polish Army Forces since 1995.
