    Why did South Korea decide to develop an indigenous SPH?
    What are the national and international variants of the K9?
    Why did Turkey choose to cooperate with South Korea for its SPH requirements?
    Why has the K9 achieved great success in the international market?

    Welcome to our channel. All the weapon systems are like books, and they tell us their stories. The Weapon Detective investigates these books, reads between the lines, analyses them, and tells the untold. At the dawn of the Second Cold War, the fruits of new projects give us clues about the future. But current weapon systems also have their own stories. In our videos, you can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. While the Second Cold War is rising, Let's investigate the weapons together.

    Indian Army also recently selected the K-9 as it's primary tracked SPG. 155mm commonality with the already in service Bofors and M-777 towed/heli lifted guns must have been an important factor. Also the ability to function in mountain terrain against china must have been very important

    It's a track system , so basically, it can go anywhere , offers better protection. The loading system is efficient and fast, also the ability to land 3 round simultaneously is another added feature. It has a good engine and good range. The armour can also be upgraded or added, so its a good artillery system over all. India made a good choice because this artillery unit can fight in Himalayas as well in the Plain of Rajasthan and beyond.

    Australia is more mountainous in some regions than most non-Australians believe, despite having nothing taller than 7310ft/2228m. It’s a big country with much variation, so a SPH that can do it all seems necessary. Also, countries where Australian forces have been deployed could have any type of terrain, as we’ve seen with the likes of Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the mountainous terrain of our nearby neighbours in SE Asia. The tracked vehicle makes total sense with this in mind, as opposed to say Germany’s needs for a more focused vehicle for the plains.

    • @devashisdas5024
      @devashisdas5024 2 роки тому +5

      To add more - German SPH is costlier. As China is Germany's largest foreign trade partner in terms of German export market, Germany may cause problems to halt or delay the parts supplies in future.
      This is already proven with evidences as Germany continues to halt or bans arms of German origins supplies to Ukraine in multiple times. It even forbade the States to supply the arms to Ukraine. Reason was - Nord stream Gas pipeline from Russia to Germany & to uphold Germany's plan to establish natural gas as an equivalent to low carbon emitting fuel resource.

    The capitals of the two Koreas are confronting each other with artillery because they are too close to the ceasefire line, and K9 is operating more than 1,000 units as one of the core of South Korean artillery forces. The northern part of South Korea, which is confronting North Korea, is a mountainous terrain, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees Celsius in summer to minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter, and I think operating without problems for nearly a decade has had a significant impact on exports.

    I am former paladin crew now retired. The paladin and K9 thunder same capabilities with the exception of automation in which my M109A6 lacked and just plainly embarrassing. A 155mm shell are heavy and manually handling them and loading them is taxing especially firing multiple rounds mission. The K9 thunder automation to handle loading and firing a 155mm shell makes it seamless. There a difference of stupid and smart. The U.S. Army was just plain not smart on when the M109 A6 first came out. I crewd M109 A6/A5/A3 and M110 8 inch cannon self propelled finally 105 mm towed howitzer. When you have to pick up a full combat load to m109 A6 howitzer it is manually picked up and stowed along with it's charges and fuzes plus crew serve ammunitions. You will be exhausted. The thing about military enthusiast is you are just an enthusiast and never actually get to operate these weapons system and feel how difficult they are and also have to know what are you doing. I am empressed with the K9 thunder and I was stationed in Korea during military career and have seen it also was jealous. I like your videos and keep it up educating everyone.

    German Pzh2000 is clearly an outstanding self-propelled gun. However, since the number of units currently in operation is small, problems arise in production and maintenance costs. On the other hand, Russian ones do not follow Western standards. And both Germany and Russia may have complex political and diplomatic problems in arms exports.

    The main reason many are buying this is because South Korea is giving them out for a cheap price and also allowing technology transfer. This is something Turkey, Australia ,Poland and India want and what the Germand and other countries will never allow. K9 is actually little inferior to the German PzH 2000. The majority of the big countries that bought the K9 did it for the tech transfer and will probably never buy another SK artillery system. That is the truth. That is how India and Turkey operate.

      PzH2000 is a brilliant platform developed over 30 years ago. No major upgrade since and only less than 400 produced. Maintenance and spare parts are difficult at best.
      K9 had 2 minor upgrades and 2 major upgrades, K9A2 just passed operational readiness test end 2021 with full autoloading (unmanned turret). There are 1,700 units in operation with more to come as they develop their own power pack to bypass German export restrictions. Maintenance and spare parts are readily available with reasonable cost and deliveries.
      A military system requires constant maintenance and that costs more than the system at acquisition. Also the whole purpose of the system is to be utilised at moments notice. No military can afford to have a system out of action for 6-18 months. If the Eurofighter saga is anything to learn from, European produced systems are extremely high cost to maintain and time consuming to acquire necessary parts.
      There are plenty of comments re cost effectiveness of K9 at acquisition but the true strength is operational readiness. RoK have operational readiness close to 90%. ie apart from regular scheduled overhaul, no real outage from ca 1,000 units they use.
      On top, new upgrades come in all shapes and sizes. The producer does not see the upgrades requests as nuisance as some European or American or even Russian developers, they see it as a paid opportunity to develop and refine the system.
      The delivery of K9A2 is scheduled for 2024/2025 (to coincide with the retirement of old artilleries), and K9A3 development is from 2023.
      We will see how things will pan out with new competitions coming from US, Russia and Europe. But unless those developers change their customer care philosophy, the Koreans will remain a formidably competitors for them.
