I'm here because Romania just announced recent and it is official , that bought (was signed a deal, delivery in early 2027) around 54 units of K9 Thunder from South Korea looks great and in great shape also for Finnish Army! we are NATO! stay together!
K-9 already have experienced to take part in the battel with North Korean army a few years ago. At surprise, a few shot from K9 which had fallen at the exact place had burned vast area of North Korean army BOQ . And K9 is to fly too far away and exact shot. K9 is the masterpiece !
Considering the price of the PzH-2000 it is a short term saving. The PzH-2000 has a higher firing rate and more precision due to the high technology integration. This is why we went for it also two crews will end up costing more in training and salary than the purchase of several less vehicles that are more expensive. The only thing that Korean weapons have that no other weapons system has is they are willing to sell the entire technology to anyone and have local components added. That also tells you they aren't state of the art. But adaptable and that also adds cost usually they are 125% of the cost for an off the shelf version and higher if they contain an offset clause bringing them close to the price of the higher end German guns. That is another reason why we went with the German gun all competitors would have ended up at the same cost as the much more capable gun due to the requirements.
@@hammaoh5148 English, the PzH-2000 did more damage to the Russian army each deployment than all other tube artillery put together. They abused it by firing the six shot burst in ten seconds many times over in stead of going on to ten shots per minute sustained fire. It survived unlike many of the other systems only the wear and tear is much greater than anticipated so they are going to get a major overhaul in Poland and go back with many more spares. If you were able to read and write English, German or Dutch you would have known this. I do all three languages so much for your education 🤣🤣🤣
I'm glad K9 can help defend Finland from the Russians, but i just want to tell the Finns, your country is so pristine and beautiful! My God, all those tall beautiful trees on a gorgeous mountainside.
Finland wants more interchangeable military cooperation with South-Korea. Finland is interested to developing submarine technology with South-Korea. Finland major weakness is lack of submarines . Alas, Russia knows that and that is irritating Finnish Superior Army Command. Finland is so dependant on Swedish Navy!
It is quite unbelievable that countries on the opposite side of the globe, such as South Korea and Finland, have so much in common to protect their freedom.
You must participate Korean K9A2 upgrade with European countries which operate K9. It will have fully network operation capability so it need only 2 person, A driver and a commander. If a K9 battalion HQ remotely gives tageting and firing order through network its computer will automatically attack with speed of 9 rounds per minutes K9A2 will arm Gliding Gudided Artillery Munition which range is 100+ Km with precision GPS guided capability. it also arm PARA-Recon muniton which fires from its gun and expands parachute above target area, transmits live feed so it acquires target coordinate and damage assessment at the same time. In K9A3 PHASE it will be fully unmanned SPG. K9A2 will service around British army's next GEN SPG project
Australia gets F/A-18, Finland gets F/A-18, Australia gets F-35, Finland gets F-35, Australia gets K9, Finland gets K9, Australia tells much larger bullying neighbor where to go, Finland tells much larger bullying neighbor where to go. Finland drinks too much vodka tries to drink more beer, Australia drinks too much beer tries to drink more vodka. A couple of undercover brothers.
Finns don't really drink that much vodka, and I don't know where that misunderstanding comes from. People who prefer quantity over quality will usually buy the cheapest bulk lager over here as well.
Well technically it was USSR then, tho the events of today kind of do show that modern russian government hasn't strayed too far from the old ways of USSR. So Russia is Russia in name more than reality.
We have some history about artillery. Finnish Vilho Petter Nenonen developed the trajectory calculation formulas and those are still in use today by all modern artillery.
@@emiliofermi9994 It does not matter what you hope, Finland will never be a part of ruskistania again. We are proudly a part of western world and russki mir is a catastrophe on a humanity point of view where everything is based a lying and canceling of truth.
@@villekinnunen6357 Didn't Finland buy K9 because of lack of artillery and tanks? And there are not many countries in Europe smaller than Finland. Most major European countries can make their own tanks and self-propelled artillery, but small countries such as Finland imported those weapons from other countries because Finland lacked the technology to make them..
@@villekinnunen6357 Okay. I know you guys don't like Russia. Then how about Sweden? Finland was part of Sweden for a long time. Does Finland want to be annexed to Sweden again??
Ukraine war proved that artillery is still king of the battle. Foreign volunteer fighters in Ukraine are complaining that they never see Russian soldiers just Russian shelling from their artillery killing from far distance. S Korea is equipped with 3000 SP artillery (K9, K55 and K105HT), 5000 105/155mm towed artillery, 6000 60/81/107/120mm mortars and 570 MRL(360 K239, 58 M270 and 156 K136) seating on 12 million rounds (during WW2, total of 11 million rounds were used) enough to deal with Chinese army :)-
Winter in Finland is not a problem for k-9 at all. Korea is at a low latitude, but the winter temperature in Korea is similar to that of Finland. Finnish snow can't get in his way at all. Gangwon-Province in Korea has more than 1 meter of snow every year.
I think this is the original K-9 that has been completely refurbished by the South Koreans. But just FYI there is A1 upgrade and even more advanced A2 upgrade available right now and A3 upgrade is under development right now. A3 will be completely unmanned remote controlled artillery.
K9FIN, modified version of K9 Thunder for Finnish Defence Forces. Finland just bought more (upgrade x?), and if im not wrong we still have option to buy 48 more later. We have also got mobile counter-battery radars and upgraded overall artillery system to function best way possible in various situations.
@@emiliofermi9994 Finland was part of Sweden for about 500 years until 1809 when russia took over, not for "hundreds of years thereafter" as you claim, but for 108 years(1917). Finland has now been independent for 105 years. Before Swedish rule Finland was a collection of Finnish "pagan" tribes. I really hope Finland will never be under russian or Swedish rule again, but I hope you suffer in pain for your wish you absolute degenerate
Finland was part of Sweden until the 17th century and part of Russia for hundreds of years thereafter. The Finns have never had their own independent country. I hope they will be under Russian control again..
@@emiliofermi9994 You are not the best Russian troll. Finland has been independent 104 years, it's almost more than under Russian rule. Russians stole Finland from Sweden 1809 and before that, we had nothing to do with Russia. I'm wonderin how you have still access to RU-vid? Because everyone is blocking your country and you will lose even an internet any soon long.
@@emiliofermi9994 100 years of indipendents they was celebrating i think 3 yars ago! I think that tells you something! And finns not want to under any country anymore!Forza Ferrari! Ferni =atomic boy?
@@MrTimodon Sweden has twice the population and three times the size of the economy than Finland. Sweden dominates Finland militarily and has a greater cultural influence. Sweden is generally richer and much higher in salary. Sweden has advanced mechanical technology and excellent engineering industries, but Finland has nothing. Finland can't beat Sweden in any way. Sweden is Finland's father country. The Swedish have always dominated the Finnish and taught advanced civilization. The Finns were primitive tribes that did not form a state until before Swedish rule, and had never had their own independent state until early 20th century. I sincerely hope Sweden will rule Finland once again.
German industry, once powerful, today does not have the installed capacity to handle orders and loses sales to South Korea in both howitzer and K9 and tanks like K2. The German product was very expensive due to its low production scale.
Yeah. Ya'll Germans need to wake tf up! Take your rightful place as an industrial and military power among other NATO and EU countries. More weapons. More nuclear...POWER!
Along with the US, germany's R&D capabilities are still among the world's best. But decades of disarmament have weakened productivity. Germans believed in Russians with complacency, but finally Putin really bombed Kiev. Germany belatedly came to its senses and hurriedly opened to check their armory, but the state of it was not the Germany they used to be. No matter how good weapons they have, it's meaningless if they can't mass-produce it. Same for the self-defense, for the sale.
We should buy a few K239 Chunmoo MLRS too, to complement M270 MLRS. But, on Sisu E13TP chassis. And Korean missiles and guided rockets. Always good to have more suppliers.
근데 화면을 잘보니, 포탄을 장전하는 병사가 여군이네요(42초 부분부터) .. ㄷㄷㄷ 구형 자주포는 포탄을 손으로 이동해야 되서 155밀리 무거운 포탄을 여군이 이동하기는 힘든데, K-9는 그냥 한손으로 쉽게 쓰윽, 포탄거치대에서 레버로 빼내면 그 후로는 자동.. 여군이 징집병인 국가들에서도 유용한 자주포네요..
The Republic of Korea operates a K-9 club, and the army of all K-9 operating countries in the world meet in Korea once a year. They are provided with new K-9 tactics and share upgrade information.
our defence budget is very limited. Every armor and weapons have it's place in finnish territory. There is currently not much spare weapons and vehicles. :/
Finland was part of Sweden until the 17th century and part of Russia for hundreds of years thereafter. The Finns have never had their own independent country. I hope they will be under Russian control again...!
@@emiliofermi9994 You mean Finland would be better being under the control of the neo-soviet, which has the neo-nazi at the same time rather than keeping their independent the 21st century??
나는 1991년에 군대를 입대하여 포병 fdc3년을 근무하였다. 한국 곡사포와 자주포는 그 당시에도 매우 정확했다.30년이 지난 지금의 자주포는 감히 상상할수 없을정도로 좋을것이라고 생각한다..k9자주포 업그레이드 버젼은 가격대비 훌륭한 성능을 가졌다고 자신있게 말할수있다.
포병 근무하신분들 저 궁금한게 있습니다 만약 훈련장이 아닌 실전에서 63빌딩을 지나고 있는데 적군이 파주 아울렛 입구에 모여 있다면 바로 쏠수 있나요 ? 아니면 상부로 부터 좌표를 전달 받고 좌표를 입력하나요 ? 뭐 컴퓨터가 계산하는거니 경도 위도 고도 자동으로 잡아주니 좌표만 알면 쏘면 명중하는건가요 ?
