HISTORY
K2 Black Panther: This is a South Korean main battle tank. K2 Black Panther is a South Korean fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT), designed by the Agency for Defense Development and manufactured by Hyundai Rotem. The tank's design began in the 1990s to meet the strategic requirements of the Republic of Korea Army's reform for three-dimensional, high-speed maneuver warfare[9] based on use of network-centric warfare.[10][11][12]
FEATURES
The K2 Black Panther has an advanced fire-control system, in-arm suspension, and a radar, laser rangefinder, and crosswind sensor for lock-on targeting. Its thermographic camera tracks targets up to 9.8 km, and its millimeter-band radar acts as a Missile Approach Warning System, enhancing situational awareness, and soft-kill active protection system deploys smoke grenades to counter incoming projectiles. The K2's autoloader reduces crew size from 4 to 3, providing a faster rate of fire, better fuel efficiency, and lower maintenance costs compared to other western main battle tanks that require human loaders. Additionally, the K2 can operate in indirect fire mode, offering key advantages over Western designs.
Initial production began in 2008 and mass production began in 2013, and the first K2s were deployed to the Republic of Korea Army in July 2014.
