During Leopard 2 and K2 Black Panther test in Norway, K2 tank with S Korean tungsten round was able to penetrate 800mm armor compare to 630mm armor with German tungsten round for Leopard 2. This is kinetic energy penetration thus K2 will be able to penetrate new Russian T90 with Kontackt 5 reactive armor with 800mm kinetic armor protection from over 2km away.
One of the best main battle tanks in the world thus far. It can easily cross over waterways, penetrate 800mm of armor & can fire precision round up to 5 miles away. Costs 8million per tank is the only downside due to tech.
K2 videos are a pleasure to watch. Very well made. The tank itself deserve nothing less than an awesome video. Well done Korea. And what a journey your military industrial complex has had. So proud.
My grandma is from Busan. I am glad to know her homeland is safe and protected by the South Korean millitary and it's allies.. Yeah the casual person see's South Korean millitary as just leftover "crap" the USA gave them, but the K1a1 and K2 are examples of Korea's technological prowess. They got "crap" and improved it. Don't mind that last part, got a bit mad when some guy kept talking crap about South Korea.
Looks like the South is well prepared and armed this time! Unlike during the first go around, when the south was prevented from actually preparing and arming itself. Would like to see your missile program! You have some great looking tanks.
