India recently bought these under the name K9 Vajra. About a 100 are in service and further 200 more are planned to be ordered. They are being made locally in India with some India specific upgrades.
Poland has already ordered 1,000. The first 100 or so are shipped from South Korea, while the rest are to be built in Poland, a joint venture between Poland and South Korea, so the units will more naturally fit Poland's specific needs. Poland also ordered American Abrams, but due to the limited supply and less willing to share technologies, by the Americans, Poland opted to diversify its top end military purchases. Also, from South Korea, Poland is likely buying the K239 (HIMARS made in South Korea, consulted with the Americans and companies involved in the buiding of HIMARS). Plus air force training planes. Point is, South Korea has not built itself into a global top end military powerhouse... with most of its most advanced weapons systems being compatible with NATO countries own weapons,
S Korea has the largest modern artillery units in the world with 1040 K55, 1200 K9 and 850 K105A1 supported by 58 M270, 367 K239 and K136 MRL. S Korean army also has about 5,000 105/155mm towed artillery and 6,000 60/81/107/120mm mortars stocked with somewhere around 12-15 million rounds.
When you're living with nice neighbors like Putin and Kim, who could wine and dine with you on caviar one day, all smiling big fake smiles.... and bombard you the next day with high velocity shells & missiles, you have to be ready, with lots of options... Ukraine's problem was that even after Russia forcibly took Crimea, 2014, it didn't believe --- up until the last hour of the actual invasion --- that Russia was going to invade and try to decapitate Zelensky's Jewish "Nazi" government... and install a puppet who would just read a few lines from the teleprompter, written by Putin, about how they're both Slavic people and there's no need to join evil, aggressive NATO, the EU, etc.
I remembered in the early 2000s Nkorea launched a sudden short bombardment of a Skorean border town. Reports that I heard that the K9s immediately responded as counter-battery. The NKoreans suspended almost just as quickly, with reports saying the K9s precision and SKorean obviously superior radar inflicting heavy casualties on the norther side.
World-class performance Nearly half the price of the competition 5x faster production capacity than the competition Proven reliable in cold frozen Finland and hot desert Egypt Still haven't bought?
Korean here. Our winters are Siberian cold. Our summers are Vietnam hot and wet. We can survive anywhere in the world. So can our weapons. Always built with extreme four seasons in mind.
With the exception of Germany and France, all countries prefer K9s. From this, it can be inferred that there is not much difference between the quality and price of self-propelled guns in European countries. If you want to play tanks, it is appropriate to buy German tanks, but if you want to win a war, you should buy Korean weapons.
Yep Us Vietnamese are relying mostly on Russian stuff due to how cheap it is compared to anything in the West But with Russia more and more fked, China can now actually force Russia inti doing what they wanted Imagine they telling Russia, Vietnam is our enemy who we are currently invading.....stop giving them stuff Then......we fked
Among the idiomatic expressions in Korea, there’s a saying, "Never be involved in others‘ house affair." Customer nation is literally just CUSTOMER. Give the goods and take money, that‘s it. Sellers don‘t need to know how or to whom customer gonna use the goods. None of their business. Such relationships are neat for each other.
Turkey is producing a version of this artillery under licence. Currently they are trying local power unit with additional electronics to increased firing speed and range.
Wow that shot of field full of SPH blasting together would be hell for receiving end. That field full of guns are more than what many country has in their entire military and South Korea has 3000 of them. Jeez
Because Korea is one of the few countries in the arms market capable of building stuff in large numbers. Doesn't matter if western equivalents are better or not. They gutted their manufacturing abilities.
That is a very good reason. What does the best tank or howitzer or HIMARS or IFV brings, when you have to wait 6 years for it? It means you won't have it the next 6 years and when, then it is only the beginning. Before the full delivery is made, it may cost another 2 or 3 years, just because other customers want the same thing. I see nowadays Rheinmetall and BAE change their policy a little, wanting to build premises in other countries. Perhaps that has to do with the connections between Hanwha /Hyundai and Poland. Once a country chooses a particular system and it works well, then the competitors know they won't stand a chance with their systems in that country as long as they are not looking for newer or more. Also no revenues of aftersales or spare parts. Another thing is price policy. Army purchasers and fans of arms and ordnance can dream from the combination PZH 2000 and Exalibur shells. Reality however is that you will loose on persevance then. One can hit a target on 50 KM very precise , but for most targets it ain't neccesary. One can have the most expensive gun in the world, but then you miss money for ordnance and spares.
Why many are buying K9s? Because Finns bought them first, and have been happy with them. Just used the option to full 96. We Finns are THE reference customer to have. Purchases are made tightly within budget. We buy only actually working weapon systems. Performance, price and supplier nation reliability within sphere of free world are our only criteria.
Also- bc Korea gets cold aas balls in the winter, especially within the mountain ranges on the eastern side of the peninsula (some winter days its as cold as Siberia) And bc also in the summer it gets hot and humid, it’s proven to work in cold and hot weather
@@dlev If not biggest, atleast overwhelmingly superior land army in Europe. Like 2 to 3 times stronger than anyone else. Polish have clearly decided that they aint never again going to be occupied by foreign power. All their aid to Ukraine nonwithstanding, they clearly measure their rearmament on worst case scenario where they are the main frontier country. In coming years countries like Poland, and my home country Finland, which are among few who are determined to take care of their own defence whatever the cost, asking allied support as second tier option, deserve much larger say over countries that only hesitate, dont get much of anything done, like Germany. NATO is military alliance, and capabilities must count. Even more should count blatant abandoment of maintaining defensive capability (especially at times of good economy), utter disregard of even basic realities of geopolitics = Germany again. With Finland joining NATO our Baltic neighbours breath more easily. There is now friendly heavyweight land power on BOTH ends of Baltic sea. We can always get fighter bombers doing sorties within NATO. Getting troops and tracks on the ground is much harder. Finns would take any Russian attempt to attack/threaten our blood relatives and little brother, Estonia, especially seriously.
From David A. Wood: One should pay close attention when examining this admirably amazing, economic development. After the short, but brutally grinding Korean War (1950-1953), South Korea was a mortally depopulated, hugely damaged and mostly impoverished nation with very little heavy industry and only a meager amount of arable land, and as such, had to respectively import all of its military equipment and food supply from Western countries like the USA for decades. Now South Korea is not only the World's10th largest and thoroughly industrialized economy that is highly self-sufficient in supplying its national, nutrition needs, but the country is both comfortably affluent and extensively industrialized enough to do two things that are definite signs of an immensely wealthy and highly industrialized nation.That is, the South Koreans are alternately building home-made and first-rate military equipment for their vigilantly prepared and necessarily sizable armed forces on an appreciably large scale and actively selling the remainder, a lot of it, to friendly, foreign countries that are sufficiently able to pay for the South Korean-built, military equipment. This latter activity of bulk-sized, Military Arms Merchandising will eventually put fully-industrialized South Korea into direct competition with the hugely populated and monetarily wealthy country that is presently the World's No.#1 Arms Manufacturer/Arms Merchant, the USA, in the several years to come. Granted, it will be a long time from now, to be sure, but that time of the American Arms Industry having to ably compete with that of South Korea's is eventually going to come!
@@Dryadlis Well, none of the major countries will, as they have their own domestic artillery systems. The greatest operator outside S. Korea is Turkey.
@@Dryadlis But they are increasing the size of their army. This by itself will increase the portion of the defense budget spent on wages and thus decrease the amount available to purchase new equipment.
turkey produced 460 t 155 storms under license ,and this year the new version of the storm 2 has started to enter the inventory and will most likely be produced until a total of 1000. Also, we used them actively in Syria, Iraq and Libya.
Is it really better with only 30km range? I do hope that the war in Ukrain has shown that 30km artillery is not enough anymore with the introduction of MLRS and HIMARS

Correcting incorrect information. The armament capabilities of the K9 are as follows: 18km(M107, HE) 30km(M549A1, HE-RAP) 36km(K310, DP-ICMBB) 40km(K307, HEBB) 55km(K315, HE-RAP) 100km(Gliding Guided Artillery Munition - GGAM In development, the prototype is completed, Similar to M982) The SPH, which has a distance of less than 40 km on the modern battlefield, is meaningless.
Well, we finns have now about 49, propably more now those K9 Thunders, and our military is very pleased about those. And because insane leader behind our 1300 km border with russia...we need to to be ready if those idiots in russia starts attack our small country!! And because we were smart, we have now propably biggest artillery in the Europe...and it is very well trained! Wellcome to Finland you fooker russians!
Diversification of equipment between allied defense contractors is smart. BAE systems makes the new US version. Germany has a manufacturer for its mobile (long German name) howitzer and UK has another.
The K9 is a great weapon but let's give credit where it's due. The powerpack is a German engine and American Allison transmission, which has a bulletproof reputation and are top notch. The K9 is an improved version of USA's M109 Paladin, which is also an excellent howitzer. In fact, before making the K9, Korea made a licensed M109 dubbed the K55 and there's still 1,000 of those K55 in service. What separates the K9 is that it's as good as or comparable to everything else out there, it's extremely reliable, and it costs 2x to 3x less.
@김시원-d1b Yes, they developed a native Korean engine because the Germs have export restrictions. My understanding is Korea spent a ton of money to develop an engine that was 5% more fuel efficient so they can export the K9 to Middle East countries. Really, the Germs shouldn't be so difficult because it's made us replace their engines in the K2 tank and K9 howitzer. And they lost licensing fees.
best base reliable model, can be added optional equipment design chage for the customers request. quick delivery, wide versatile, allowed local production. Cost? not really important. why don't you buy Chinese one?
because S.Korea deployed 1200 K-9s in Korea. It can be cheap. and "supply chain" isn't bad. K-9 bas been sold many to several countries. sum of them is around 1000. even include Poland. .. did I say S.Korea deployed 1200 K-9s? oh yeah. I did. that's why K-9 can be cheap. it is sad fact. not proud. S.Korea has been still in the cold war but the others hasn't.
@@kimj2570 South Korea is still at war with North Korea. However, they signed a ceasefire in 1953, so there are no longer any attacks on each other. A lot of time has passed since then, so many foreigners are not aware of this. The Korean War was a truce, not an end

How is it that Korea is taking the lead in artillery and tank systems when we Americans spend trillions on defense? We are getting ripped off by US arms companies. Also we spent trillions defending Korea for 70 years while they saved money to do this. Time to leave Korea, they can defeat the north easily without us. Kudos to Korea for these brilliant systems.
1. US taxpayers are getting ripped off by arms companies 2. Korea pays the US for defense costs 3. Korea buys a bunch of USA made weapons 4. Korea supported USA in Vietnam, Iraq, and other places and projects
@@llIlIlllIllllIlIl Due to Korean topography even China couldn't due anything rapid. If they did killing a few thousand US soldiers won't matter. If Korea wants them to stay let then pay the cost in full, including pensions etc. We have propped up Korea for too long.
Whoa there, that's a lot of oversimplified Trumpist speak. There are lots of reasons for the things you're talking about. You're not wrong, you're just oversimplifying by a lot, and knowing some details could get you thinking deeper, whether or not you keep wanting the US military off Korea. Just read up, it's interesting. Anyways, the real money drain isn't stationing troops in Korea, it's all the free-world countries giving all their jobs to China. If it continues, we are all doomed. Think about it, we've all made China the Amazon/Walmart of the world and the rest of us are high-ticket specialty shops. Stupidest thing ever.
The archer is probably better for countries with more flatlands. Since its wheeled but for countries like korea which is around 70% mountainous terrain wheeled vehicles are inferior to tracked vehicles.
1 Archer with all auxilary systems would probably cost double the cost of a K9. The K9 is hands down the most common self-propelled howitzer on the planet. By now there's probably more of these operating in more militaries than Palladins.
@@youngmoon8762 Panther I was a highly mobile medium Tank. K9 is a Tank artillery. Big difference. K9 long reload time and not very mobile when compared to a Panther I. Would be similar to a real world modern version of the British FV215b 183. Except the 215b has a 183mm gun. It is a Tank destroyer. Also, Panther I was a Nazi German Tank not currently in use by any military. You can find them in museums. And no, on 1v1 scenarios, No medium tanks will come even close to “flip your tank like a Turtle” against it. In fact, it will get HE’d. Prediction, 1st shot miss (k9) and then boom!

K9 A4. Obüs yeni versiyon insansız yeni kulesini 155.52 kalibre edilmiş kulesini enterge ettim. Tamamen kendine hedef kere atış yapan özelliği. Ve etkili mevzil 100km azmi mevzil 150km hedef kere atış 13 mermi atış yapma özelliği var
판매량이 말해준다
그리고 끊임없이 업그레이드 해준다
가성비로 따라올 무기가 없고 막굴려도 문제없이 할거 다 하니까
전세계 어딜가도 꿀릴거 없을 정도의 성능과 능력 만땅임.
많이 많이 사주세요~
Correcting incorrect information. The armament capabilities of the K9 are as follows:
18km(M107, HE)
30km(M549A1, HE-RAP)
36km(K310, DP-ICMBB)
40km(K307, HEBB)
55km(K315, HE-RAP)
100km(Gliding Guided Artillery Munition - GGAM In development, the prototype is completed, Similar to M982)
The SPH, which has a distance of less than 40 km on the modern battlefield, is meaningless.
100km?! That crazy, even futher than himars.
Well, we finns have now about 49, propably more now those K9 Thunders, and our military is very pleased about those. And because insane leader behind our 1300 km border with russia...we need to to be ready if those idiots in russia starts attack our small country!! And because we were smart, we have now propably biggest artillery in the Europe...and it is very well trained! Wellcome to Finland you fooker russians!
Nd How will Finns protect their howitzer from Low cost Iranian made Russian kamikaze drones ?
@@tarunchem7021 the ones made with motorbike engines that you can detect from 40km away?
@@raysubsonic lol ikr
As a Korean, I know what it is like to have an unstable neighbor. Glad those guns are keeping you safe too.
@tarunchem7021 Typically howitzer aren't supposed to be targeted by drones. If they are, then there is something wrong about their placement.
Performance(S~A), Price (SS), AS(S), Compatibility with Nato and US army (S)
hanwha techwin made my security cameras lol
Diversification of equipment between allied defense contractors is smart. BAE systems makes the new US version. Germany has a manufacturer for its mobile (long German name) howitzer and UK has another.
Do these get latest Samsung One UI 5.0?
Must be cuz it made my Samsung
At 3:55 OK, I'm sold!
HE M107 18 KM range with a 52 caliber barrel is worse than the 39 caliber M777 and M198. I wonder why.
welcome to arsenal of free world
Shoot and scoot capability.
Samsung also makes refrigerators and vacuums!
The K9 is a great weapon but let's give credit where it's due. The powerpack is a German engine and American Allison transmission, which has a bulletproof reputation and are top notch.
The K9 is an improved version of USA's M109 Paladin, which is also an excellent howitzer. In fact, before making the K9, Korea made a licensed M109 dubbed the K55 and there's still 1,000 of those K55 in service.
What separates the K9 is that it's as good as or comparable to everything else out there, it's extremely reliable, and it costs 2x to 3x less.
Doesn't use German powerpack since september batch, now equipped with newly developed Korean one. Still uses Allison transmission tho 😊
@김시원-d1b Yes, they developed a native Korean engine because the Germs have export restrictions.
My understanding is Korea spent a ton of money to develop an engine that was 5% more fuel efficient so they can export the K9 to Middle East countries.
Really, the Germs shouldn't be so difficult because it's made us replace their engines in the K2 tank and K9 howitzer. And they lost licensing fees.
best base reliable model, can be added optional equipment design chage for the customers request. quick delivery, wide versatile, allowed local production. Cost? not really important. why don't you buy Chinese one?
Ultimately, the answer is simple: you can paint the border in a relatively short period of time!
Taiwan need this
because its a sick system that is fine tune for one thing :)
Long range at a fraction of the cost of Euro options
my front gate install this things, now my neighbour built china wall
It's so good even North Korea is ordering it.
Can you do a show on Russia's thermobaric munition, like the one they used in kherson this week?
TIL
South Korea has long range guided rocket with thermobaric warhead.
They can be launched from K239.
it's cheap and good :D
Still afraid of Nuke baby
K9 was part of Samsung, look forward to buy Toyota or Nissan howitzer
Nice technology
Love the name, K9……”Cry ‘Havoc’ and let slip the dogs of war..”
इन सबसे बेहतर है Long range MBRL ( Multi barrel Rocket Launcher)
Looks like the Swedish bandvagn 1
Is Ukraine using this?
cost performance
India has K9 bro.......Cool

because S.Korea deployed 1200 K-9s in Korea. It can be cheap. and "supply chain" isn't bad. K-9 bas been sold many to several countries. sum of them is around 1000. even include Poland. .. did I say S.Korea deployed 1200 K-9s? oh yeah. I did. that's why K-9 can be cheap. it is sad fact. not proud. S.Korea has been still in the cold war but the others hasn't.
I didnt quite understand. Sad fact being South Korea has been still with Cold War? What that does mean?
@@kimj2570 South Korea is still at war with North Korea. However, they signed a ceasefire in 1953, so there are no longer any attacks on each other. A lot of time has passed since then, so many foreigners are not aware of this.
The Korean War was a truce, not an end
@@GoogIe_UK indeed. many people who doesn't hasn't read up on the Korean War thinks the war has ended when in actual fact both countries are technically still at war in the present.
I still dont understand the difference between this and a tank. Am military dumb
The Thunder is a mobile Artillery platform for long range support fire with thin armor while a tank like the M1A1 or Leopard A7 etc. are better armored and more for suitable for close combat environments with a 105mm Gun and ranges of up to 5-10 km.
@@ScorpionMinds ok. More like one is for range while the other for closed combat. Is that what your saying?
MBT (main battle tank) is for close fight, armor vs armor, while SPH (self-propelled howiter) is for indirect fire support.
@@ScorpionMinds you mean 120mm gun
@@formacionG13 the thunder is basically an artillery platform that’s highly mobile, it’s gun traverse is a lot more than a tanks, and is designed for long range accurate fire missions that a tanks guns could never match
I want these for my nation
A $100 drone will wipe it out. Star Wars/Drone Wars, it's the future!
suamsung cooked on that one
This howitzer is excellent at repelling Russian armed forces which wreac havoc around the world
What bizarre narration.
"against" "deserts"
Though the AI quality has only a few years left, maybe not even, until it's indistinguishable.
Agreed. The vast major of the narration is meaningless.

PZH 2000 is still better stat-wise, just more expensive.
I hope Malaysia government would buy it.

Wow !!
I'm so confused by these narrators... they have flawless American accents but they sound like they're reading really bad translations/ can't pronounce certain words... what's the deal?
How is it that Korea is taking the lead in artillery and tank systems when we Americans spend trillions on defense? We are getting ripped off by US arms companies. Also we spent trillions defending Korea for 70 years while they saved money to do this. Time to leave Korea, they can defeat the north easily without us. Kudos to Korea for these brilliant systems.
1. US taxpayers are getting ripped off by arms companies 2. Korea pays the US for defense costs 3. Korea buys a bunch of USA made weapons 4. Korea supported USA in Vietnam, Iraq, and other places and projects
The reason Americans are here is because of the China. The beggers in the cold fields are nothing.
@@llIlIlllIllllIlIl Due to Korean topography even China couldn't due anything rapid. If they did killing a few thousand US soldiers won't matter. If Korea wants them to stay let then pay the cost in full, including pensions etc. We have propped up Korea for too long.
If the U.S. gives up its check on China, it will be possible to withdraw U.S. troops from South Korea. But will the U.S. be just watching China grow?
Whoa there, that's a lot of oversimplified Trumpist speak. There are lots of reasons for the things you're talking about. You're not wrong, you're just oversimplifying by a lot, and knowing some details could get you thinking deeper, whether or not you keep wanting the US military off Korea. Just read up, it's interesting. Anyways, the real money drain isn't stationing troops in Korea, it's all the free-world countries giving all their jobs to China. If it continues, we are all doomed. Think about it, we've all made China the Amazon/Walmart of the world and the rest of us are high-ticket specialty shops. Stupidest thing ever.
It’s bad ass, but i would choose the Swedish Archer system from BAE. 7 rounds in 9 seconds and more agile.
Archer and K9 is different beast. Wheeled vs tracked. Many country prefer tracked vehicle for a reason.
7 rounds in 9 seconds only in ideal conditions.
The archer is probably better for countries with more flatlands. Since its wheeled but for countries like korea which is around 70% mountainous terrain wheeled vehicles are inferior to tracked vehicles.
1 Archer with all auxilary systems would probably cost double the cost of a K9. The K9 is hands down the most common self-propelled howitzer on the planet. By now there's probably more of these operating in more militaries than Palladins.
Extrem pOwer - militaryTV, 1000bc, probably.
Me, a World of Tanks blitz player : “oof! 19mm armour. HE rounds from the Panther I would pass through like butter.”
yeh..but 155mm can destroy you even it not hit you. it will flip your tank like a Turtle even it hit the ground near you.
@@youngmoon8762 Panther I was a highly mobile medium Tank. K9 is a Tank artillery. Big difference. K9 long reload time and not very mobile when compared to a Panther I.
Would be similar to a real world modern version of the British FV215b 183. Except the 215b has a 183mm gun. It is a Tank destroyer.
Also, Panther I was a Nazi German Tank not currently in use by any military. You can find them in museums.
And no, on 1v1 scenarios, No medium tanks will come even close to “flip your tank like a Turtle” against it. In fact, it will get HE’d. Prediction, 1st shot miss (k9) and then boom! Just like the FV 215b 183
This is almost same as krab only difference is the chasis is of korean made but the turret design is british altered/ augmented by poland.
The title question isn't even answered....waste of time...👎
Atmos 2000 still the beast
가성비
Skip to the very end for only info that makes the most recent variant still in development game changing albeit at even more complexity, but as we have seen in Ukraine, it appears hi tech and complexity DOES out do quantity, so. Otherwise this is the worst mil tech review I've ever seen.

Archer is better design
I was a k9 crew member... I hate this thing. Yeah it's cool... but you would also hate it if you've ever had to do maintenance on this monstrosity...
