South Korean Defense Ministry will buy 100 new K-2 tanks

The South Korean Defense Procurement Agency (DAPA) announced the delivery to the army until 2017 about a hundred tanks K-2 "Black Panther", reports Military Parity with reference to Army Recognition. The decision was made at a meeting of the Committee on Defense Projects chaired by Defense Minister Han Ming.

"The K-2 battle tank will allow the military to have the latest combat vehicles with improved mobility and firepower suitable for future conditions, Said DAPA spokesman Kim Si-Chol. - We expect that K-2 will also be in demand on the foreign market. ”

Mass production of the new main tank to replace the aging K-1 and М48 was planned to be deployed in 2009. However, problems with the engine and transmission prevented.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff had to reduce the requirements for accelerating rearmament.

According to the Military Parity, the “Black Panther tank” is being developed in Korea from 2006, it is armed with an 120-mm cannon, it can reach speeds up to 70 km / h, overcome water obstacles to a depth of 4,1 m ”. The machine will be equipped with an engine and transmission of domestic production. The basis for the creation of the power plant served as the German MTU-890 engine with power 1500 l. with.

K-2 began to enter the army from July 2014.

I don’t know the possibilities of the USA, but Israel is definitely not able to produce Merkava massively . In the years when the country faced a real threat of a conventional war, MAS produced up to 150 vehicles a year. Today, up to 100 vehicles are produced annually and only half of them are tanks. The rest of the machine is based on Merkava: TBTR, engineering, BREM, command and medical. So past the checkout counter. Israel in order to supply 100 tanks must begin to order spare parts in a couple of years.

The average book price of the tank in the M1A2 modification for 1999 was about $ 6,2 million.
At the same time, the purchase price of the tank is much lower: for example, the newly built M1A1 SA, delivered to the Iraqi Armed Forces, were paid to the manufacturer at the rate of $ 1,4 million per car [89]; for Australia, the M1A1 AIM with more sophisticated equipment, but received from US Army reserves, cost $ 1,18 million for each tank

(I deliberately took the win in quotation marks because the duel between the tanks is a bit different since there are other factors and where the hit does not mean breaking through the armor, although a team battle with firing of paintballs / markers like paintball might be interesting!)))

Here's what they wrote about it a year ago at VO.
"In addition, the designers planned to install an experimental 2-mm smoothbore gun developed by the German company Rheinmetall as the main armament of the OT K140 tank, but this also had to be abandoned. One of the reasons was the requirement to use only its own technologies as much as possible, and the other was the refusal of the German company. from the further development of this gun.As the gunsmiths of the company considered, a modern smooth-bore 120-mm cannon with a barrel length of 55 calibers will be more than enough to ensure the solution of all tasks to combat armored targets in the foreseeable future. 2mm Rheinmetall L120 cannon, which was later reconfigured to use more powerful ammunition.The 55 / L120 cannon for the Black Panther was developed and produced by World Industries Ace, and the ammunition for it was developed and manufactured by Poongsan.

Quote: Aleks tv

That’s the whole ficus picus, that the active suspension significantly increases the speed at which the regular operation of the stabilizer is possible, which means shooting. Which gives great tactical advantages.

Plus, as far as I know, the tank has an optical system, an "advanced" ASC, which provides a shot not when the gunner pressed the button, but when it should be, at the moment when the oscillating barrel looks where it should be.

And if you also take into account that the UKs in the development of electrothermochemical tools have already moved from just electric ignition to electric controlled ...
A very promising technology, which now allows optimizing the process of ignition of the charge, that is, increasing the initial speed.

And when, finally, they get to electric evaporation, the charges of tank shots will be inert. That is, under normal conditions, they are completely safe, it will be possible to safely direct a gas burner to them without consequences.

Plus, having these deviations early. speed with the previous shot, you can measure the deviation for a new batch of shells (charges) And also enter a constant correction

I strongly agree with you! Any news here slides down to a banal ukrasrach and frenzied urapatriotizma. And the TANK is really just excellent to be recognized! Koreans are now generally trending from cars to tanks. we have a lot to learn from them. Recently I returned from Korea and I will tell you that the people there are just wonderful and very friendly.

Just do not tell anyone this.

In particular, because of this (and also due to the lack of experience), the Czech-2 dismantled the antenna for collecting atmospheric data on the T-72BA.

There are, as it were, two points:
- who will allow the adversary to do this with the CORRECT tactics of using the tank.
- Protection of optics and all the necessary rubbish on the armor. They are working on this problem ... otherwise, a return to the past.

Koreans have a very good tank, and the previous K-1 modification is good, the news from the author surprised that the K-2 supposedly replaces the K-1, which was also shoved next to the M-48 :) do not forget that South Korea there are also our tanks and BMP.
The tank is similar in appearance to many experimental lungs American tanks, but he is not a copy of them, much less a copy of Abrams. According to decisions even with the feet from the USA, he is nevertheless closer to Leopard.
Regarding the cost, the K2 is not the most expensive tank in the world, so far the most expensive are Japanese and primarily because these tanks are figuratively piece goods because of the impossibility of exporting them. The Koreans managed to reduce the project cost of their new tank through cooperation with the Turks, whose Altai tank was nothing more than a hodgepodge of K1 and K2.
Not only K2, but K1 surpasses any of our modern tanks and their modifications in most characteristics, and simply in technology.
An interesting fact, the Korean tank also has a low silhouette and is quite lower, smaller and lighter than the same Leopard and Abrams - you say that this is realized due to the fact that Korean tankers are generally midget :))), but in fact there’s a lot of space for one crew members in Korean tanks are MORE than in our T-72s and T-90s ...

Doesn't fit. "Vicky" reports that the Korean costs $ 8,6 million, and the Type-10 $ 6,5 million, per copy. If "Viki" is not an authority, then provide links, we will consider ...

IgorM This I minusunul accidentally. All right, say it. Even the Russian military recognized this tank as one of the best. Unfortunately, there is no chance in a dueling battle between the Russian creations of the tank genius that are now in service with our army. Yes, to be honest, we do not have any worthy creations, but at the moment the T-90 has not been launched into production, although this tank is actually the 17th modification of the Soviet T-72, which was produced since 1973. In short, at the moment we have nothing to brag about.

Well, Eugene ...
as if the grandmother said for two.

The same K-2 is a super tank of the current generation of tank building.
Full respect for her (just read my comments in this thread).
But:
MY Crew on the T-72B (object 184) - will get rid of any splinter ... we just need time to "think" a couple of seconds on the hillock of the theater and ... my sensible zampotekh.

Crew, Tactics, Interaction - this is the guarantee of VICTORY.


I just want to say:
- as "iron" - K-2 is GOOD! ... Busurman radish.

... multiplied by super modern technology. Do you really think that training Korean tankers is worse than Russian? One must be objective. All these urapatriotic moods will not lead to anything good.

Конечно.
And a big request: do not confuse me with the dumplings))) in my blood there is a desire to strangle them in batches.

Simple - I really appreciate the training of YOUR crews.
We were taught that way.

And the fact that K-2 is good, I absolutely agree.
No one more than Mazuta wants a GOOD iron.
We dream about it.)))

I see that you are quite an adequate person. and this cannot but rejoice. Sadly, this resource does not really support your point of view. Most of the news is directly or indirectly connected either with Ukraine or in the blind praise of a particular sector of the Russian military industry and military-industrial complex products. Of course, I understand in some way the local administration, the spirit of the times, so to speak. Patriotism must be on the rise. It is difficult to fetch truly valuable information from this compote. Recently, I try not to read comments at all. It seems that here a branch of the VKontakte resource has opened.

To the point, Eugene.

Yes.
And again, yes.
And always - YES!
I am glad that the wave of patriotism is rising - it is GOOD, it pleases the heart.

Politics ??? ... crappy defect ... the smell of rot in the nose strikes when you breathe in the air with full breasts ...

It’s easy for a politician to ram his boot into the brain - before the FIGHT.
YES.
But:
It’s hard for a politician to cram into the fighter’s brain - after the Fight ....
After the BATTLE, the simplest Shooter becomes a politician of "his unit" - probably just wants to live ... because he realized that it is possible to survive when there is "mutual cover" ... it is difficult to describe THIS in the comment.)))
Here nuna remember about Tactics and Operational Art ... and ... then ... ahem ... remember in the "sue" GSh? )))

PS
Nefig snot smear on the clave of a computer ...
You just need to revive the NVP system.
NOT just "CWP in high school", but - "CWP System" !!!.
Lisaped has been rolling wheels for a long time, creaking ...
Probably because it was invented long ago.

That's something like that, Eugene.

When you look at the data on the cost of this or that equipment and even in dollars, pay attention to the year, the buck also becomes cheaper from year to year, and most importantly, take a closer look at what exactly is estimated.
I’ll give an example, in the news recently I read about the supply of F-16 Block to 61 Arabs, the cost of one unit of 200 million US dollars is given. Believe that the F-16, even Block 61, costs 200 million dollars? ...
Well, "Wiki" is a free encyclopedia, necessary and interesting, but it is not impartial and, alas, often suffers from inaccuracies.

I'm surprised the tank is very similar to the Abrams, how did the Americans allow them to develop their own, and not ftyuhali Abrams?

The Abrams is too expensive a cart even for South Korea. And the "light elves" are not eager to hand out such gifts on the right and on the left.

Well, actually, K-2 is a Korean upgrade of Lepard and is one of the most expensive MBT, as if Abrams was not a competitor to this.
