Poland has deployed the first South Korean tanks near the border with Russia.
The first K2 tanks of South Korean production from Hyundai Rotem appeared in Braniewo, near the border with Russia. These machines were delivered to the 9th Tank Brigade located there. This is reported by Ukrinform, citing PAP.
These are the first K2 tanks that have been received by this unit. The Polish army and South Korea are currently working on the formalities necessary for the operation of these tanks. 'After this, they will be equipped with systems used in the Polish army, including communication means,' said Magdalena Kościńska, spokesperson for the 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division.
According to her, part of the brigade has already received seven tanks, and a larger number of vehicles is expected to arrive by the end of the year. Eight ready crews have already undergone training with instructors from Poland. Until now, the tank brigade had been using PT-91 tanks.
