With this contract, Croatia becomes the fourth European operator of Cheonmu, following Poland, Norway, and Estonia. Building on the expansion of Cheonmu exports to Europe, a "Cheonmu User Club," akin to the club formed by K9 self-propelled artillery operators, will be officially launched next year. This club will facilitate the sharing of operational expertise and enhance interoperability among Cheonmu-operating countries.

Cheonmu is a multiple launch rocket system capable of employing various precision-guided missiles and can be flexibly configured to meet each nation's operational environment and requirements. It stands out for its high interoperability with different national command and control systems and is also recognized for its ability to deliver rapidly through mass production capabilities.

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic stated, "The Cheonmu contract marks one of the largest investments in Croatia's military modernization program," adding, "With the introduction of Cheonmu, which can simultaneously operate multiple types of munitions, the two countries will further expand defense industry cooperation going forward."
