Estonia modernizes self-propelled artillery mounts K9 Thunder

Estonia has decided to modernize the K9 Thunder self-propelled artillery units in service with the Self-Defense Forces. This was reported by the press service of the Estonian Defense Ministry.

The Estonian Defense Ministry has signed a contract for the modification of the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers in service. As part of the agreement, the ACS will be modernized to meet the needs of the Estonian army. In particular, self-propelled guns will receive new communication and control systems, a fire extinguishing system, a new electrical system and other additional equipment in accordance with the requirements voiced during the operation of howitzers by the Estonian military.

At the first stage, two self-propelled guns will be modernized, which will undergo experimental military operation. Based on the results, a decision will be made to modernize the rest of the K9 Thunder ACS fleet.

Estonia and South Korea signed an agreement on the purchase of a batch of 12 units of 155-mm self-propelled howitzers K9 Thunder in 2018. The self-propelled guns should be adopted by the artillery division of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Estonian Army, which was armed with German 155-mm / 39 towed howitzers FH-70 and Soviet towed 122-mm howitzers D-30. The Estonian Defense Ministry announced the purchase of the second batch of six K9 Thunder howitzers in 2019.

Thus, Estonia ordered 18 South Korean howitzers with an option for six more howitzers, for a total of 24 units. How many ACS have already been received is not reported.

155-mm / 52 self-propelled howitzer K9 Thunder weighs 47 tons, a powerful diesel engine in 1000 hp provides speeds of up to 67 km / h. Cruising range 480 km. Armed with the KNUMX 9-mm gun with a barrel length of 155 caliber, the rate of fire reaches 52 rounds per minute. Crew 15 people.

Population of Estonia:

The next population census in Estonia will take place in 2020/21.
According to the forecast made in August 2016 by the Praxis Political Research Center, in 2116 the population of Estonia will be 600.

As far as I understand, you don't track such statistics in Russia.

[Warrior-80]

I live on the border with Estonia, many friends go there, the standard of living there is about the same as ours in a small border town. Estonia has almost nothing of its own, small grocery production according to EU quotas and the port is breathing smoothly, the main income of the EU subsidies for russobophia, what will happen to Europe, Estonia will roll back a century and rush to us with an outstretched hand

It is customary to recalculate GDP per capita ... but apparently not in Russia, who needs this very population there?

[kot423]

It is customary to recalculate GDP per capita.

Your "souls of the population" - where do they earn money? In Finland? Or further? And most importantly - with what? By mental labor, or by handles for cutting fish?

A couple of years ago, Estonia was in 1st place in EUROPE in the development of IT technologies. (I understand that you are far from this, but people with BRAINS make money anyway) And if you consider the industry to be pathetic attempts to produce picks and shovels, what can you do?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

We have already gone through this. Ireland also had its own economic miracle in the field of IT and electronics, after a couple of years all these factories were in China and the Irish economic miracle was over.

Let me tell you another secret (For you) Silicon Valley is not in EUROPE. But of course these are geographic trifles that you shouldn't think about .... is your name not Shvonder?

[Warrior-80]

Not far from me is the Estonian city of Narva, there is no work at all, people are scattering across Europe, they give apartments for nothing, we can't even buy a room for that kind of money. Well, it is understandable in our town 70 thousand, factories 5 pieces and not small

Triboltia lives in debt, the national debt for Tribolt is on average 300 € in the ward, for example, in 2016, Estonia received 673.7 million euros for food.

says that in Estonia they can "modernize" something is not even funny, the countries are dying out, they are only (for now) capable of selling sprats stuffed with mercury.
So it goes.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Their sprats, by the way, in Latvia from herring, are soft and not tasty. And ours, Russian ones, are made from sprat and are much tastier.

[Lord of the Sith]

Estonia's GDP is 31,5 billion, which is 54 times less than Russia's 1702 billion.

[Niko]

With such talent for mathematics, it shouldn't be difficult for you to calculate GDP per "capita" as is customary all over the world ... or just look at any table ... it will certainly be very disappointing to see that Russia is far behind Estonia. (Even below the world average)

[Lord of the Sith]

I understand you correctly, if next year the population of Estonia decreases by 10 people, will it increase per capita? You know perfectly well that such calculations are complete nonsense. In addition, I hope you know how many billions the European Union is giving out to Estonia without any indicators of the latter. Economists have long argued that GDP calculations are wrong and have long outlived their usefulness. What to do with Japan's external debt at 000% of GDP or US debt at 225% of GDP. And why is this% not subtracted from the annual GDP?

Estonia is modernizing self-propelled artillery installations

The first thought was, where did Estonia get the industry, then everything fell into place.

[Pechkin]

It's funny. Estonia modernizes self-propelled artillery mounts K9 Thunder

Yes, they are not going to modernize anything there, rather adaptation. The contract is for a small amount, just a stupid article does not describe anything. Here: The State Defense Investment Center (RKIK) has signed an agreement to modify 24 K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzers for the needs of the Estonian Defense Forces for 4,6 million euros.

The contract concluded with GoCraft provides for the installation of communication and control systems on self-propelled gun mounts, painting works, replacement of the fire extinguishing system, adaptation of the electrical system and installation of other additional equipment.

"When adapting the K9 to Estonian needs, the needs and suggestions of future users were taken into account in order to create the preconditions for the most effective use of the K9's potential in Estonian conditions, which will increase the capabilities of fire support for the Defense Forces brigades," said Defense Force artillery inspector, Lieutenant Colonel Arbo Probal ...

[antivirus]

that's why the RF Ministry of Defense such howitzers?
it's easier for us to bribe and the Koreans do not fulfill the contract.
all that is on the Baltic coast is our trophy. in case of war.
18 suitcases without a handle ..--- resell to Iran later, Venezuela?

[2021 Baku]

SPG delivered in 2018-2019.
Look not to worsen, instead of improvements. And that happened and that.

[demiurg]

K9 is one of the best self-propelled guns on the planet. What do the Chukhonts want to modernize in it?

[svp67]

In particular, self-propelled guns will receive new communication and control systems, a fire extinguishing system, a new electrical system and other additional equipment in accordance with the requirements voiced during the operation of howitzers by the Estonian military.

And not such a bad modernization, somewhere like that in half the amount of the self-propelled gun itself ... how much does one MSA cost
Where is Zin's money from?

[Mouse]

They used to say that abroad will help them ... but now?
Euro neighbors ....?

[Normann]

In terms of per unit, it turns out about 200 thousand, and its cost is in the region of a million.

[svp67]

Is this data from their government purchases?

[Normann]

And if they were given? What is the question, where can I have access to such data?

[orionvitt]

a total of 24 units

Terrible things are happening in the world. Did you have enough money? The country is very rich. As they say, if you want to ruin not a big country, give it a battleship. From Estonia, the cruiser is enough. Or at worst, self-propelled units. Let them invest, all the same the squeak of the "great Baltic tigers", no one is afraid.

[out of habit]

The self-propelled guns were empty or what?

[tralflot1832]

Guys, what is incomprehensible. The plates with the South Korean characters on the control panels will be changed to plates in Estonian. All the car is gone.

[Prisoner]

64 km / h for the Estonian mechvod the second space speed. I think so, E.

[Borisych]

24 self-propelled guns for small Estonia, that's a lot. Maintenance costs are high, active-jet ammunition is expensive. Just what is all this for? They already have all the youth fled, who will use it?

[Evil troll]

A twig with the Estonian flag was tied and immediately somehow ... it became better.

[Evil 55]

Uh, however, there will also be plates in Estonian on appliances ... so that hot guys don't get confused in tumblers and pedals ..

[Hey]

The main point of modernization is not specified - the replacement of nameplates.

[Sands Careers General]

And what are they going to modernize there? Draw the sodomite flag on the sides?))

[Wahmister 1970]

The contract is at 18m, quite fresh, probably some more modern "gadgets" will be installed.

[rocket757]

In geyrope, many began to realize that it is extremely dangerous to remain a blind tool in the hands of a hegemon who is "sick to his head" ...
It will also reach the former, not on the second, so on the third day.

[Pacquale Pestrini]

I specially registered to say that Estonia is not that much dying out .... 5 years already positive population growth, due to migration, but still. There is definitely no shortage in the army) instead of those who left, so many non-brothers arrived that sometimes it seems that in Ukraine already)

From your comment, I understand that you are writing from Estonia? How do you, there, fun from the "non-brothers" ?, which, like cockroaches, begin to scatter from inside the 404, until they are strangled by their own? (Soryan immediately, if this question is asked to the wrong address)

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Well, there are enough normal guys among them. Although it happened I also met the couch warriors, those who are at war with the Russian Federation ... only for some reason in Estonia)))

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Well, it's not brothers who quickly join the team, the Estonians are shocked. They thought that Ukrainians, everyone would speak Ukrainian, but the same southern Russians came))) for me, the more Slavs come, the better)

[Scharnhorst]

It is high time to organize the Russian Baltic Cossacks! And all the "Aboriginal Indians" to be squeezed out of the sea. Recall the historical Russian names of cities. Soon there will be nowhere to expand in Ust Luga after the transfer of exports from Batka. In Narva, according to the census of '88, the Russian population was up to 90%. Down with the Pinochet regime from the Kolyvanov region!

[Pacquale Pestrini]

Wait there, so the time is wasted. In the 90s, there was a strong movement among the Russians to stay with the Russian Federation, but only Tsar Boris gave independence to the Estonians, under a verbal promise not to persecute the Russians. Wait ... even the same young Narvites, being across the river, seeing what is happening in Ivangorod, it becomes clear that it is better at home
