Spike sections are indeed transported inside Rosomak-S variant - I didn't mention this one, because it may be covered by APC variants (with 12.7mm or AGL). There is however no firm information, if Spike-carrying vehicles are armed at all...
Speaking of Elbit, you mean unmanned turrets 12.7mm?... In 2005 Rafael RCWS-127 Mini Samson wond a tender, but it was cancelled. Another tender was won in 2006 by OTO Mellera Hitrole, but it was cancelled as well. In 2007, the Polish Army decided to quit from unmanned turrets - and AFAIK this is actual state.
