As suggested by Defence24, it might be about Vulcano ammunition. The Polish military plans to integrate the Krab with these missiles, which allow shooting at such a long distance.

Representatives from the Leonardo company, the manufacturer of Vulcano, confirm ongoing discussions regarding trial tests.

Reports from Ukraine suggest that their soldiers might have already tested Vulcano missiles in combat conditions. The Krab, thanks to this ammunition, achieves twice the range compared to standard rounds. Vulcano, with its design, allows precise hits with an error margin of 2-3 metres.

The Vulcano missiles are sub-caliber ammunition, smaller than the classic 155 mm shells. Thanks to the GPS-guided system supported by INS, they ensure high precision.
