On July 27, Poland and South Korea formalized a long-anticipated landmark agreement on the delivery of over 1000 tanks, self-propelled howitzers, and 48 fighter jets, which represented the largest single arms export contract signed by the East Asian state as it emerges as a leader in the global arms market.
The contract comes as South Korean armaments have increasingly been recognized in a growing number of fields as more capable than their counterparts produced in the Western world or Japan, and thus as the most formidable NATO-compatible options available.
The three products acquired by Poland under the new contract, the K2 Black Panther tank, K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer, and FA-50 lightweight fighter jets are all strong examples of this.
Where Western countries have introduced very few new tank designs since the early 1980s, and only the British Challenger 2 in very small numbers since the Cold War ended, which entered service in 1998, the K2 represents a 21st-century vehicle with a double engagement range of Western competitors and an autoloader - a feature common to Russian and Chinese tanks which have yet to be introduced in the West. The most notable sign of a NATO-compatible main battle tank, the 120mm main gun, distinguishes the K2 and Western and Japanese tanks from the standard 125mm gun size used on Russian, Chinese, and North Korean vehicles.
