    Weapons in the demilitarized zone in the Koreas

    If I were still in the military, I would prefer a light SMG to a heavy rifle like this 🤣

    Weapons in the demilitarized zone in the Koreas

    K11 is also a rifle developed based on the design of the XM29 in the United States. However, these guns have too complex mechanisms and use too many electronic components, making them too difficult in technology. Even the U.S. is not willing to use these state-of-the-art rifles yet, but the U.S...

    Weapons in the demilitarized zone in the Koreas

    Although K11 was judged to be suitable for combat, its development was suspended due to several repeated explosions, gun damage, and bullet defects finished products, and on December 5, 2019, the Korea Defense Acquisition Program Administration officially decided to give up the K11 development...

    Weapons in the demilitarized zone in the Koreas

    Under the UN Armistice Agreement, the Demilitarized Zone cannot use weapons such as explosives and large-caliber Artillery. The weapons mainly used by the Korean military stationed in the Demilitarized Zone are not much different from most ordinary Koreans soldier. K1 sub-machine gun (This...

    Annoyingly enough, this Korean engine and Korean transmission should have entered the K2. I just laugh at this ironic situation that Korean engines and transmissions are used first for Altay, not for K2. It is upsetting to think that K2 spent 12 years developing power packs due to design...

    The South Korean military has also been developing a unmanned combat platform called the Army tiger 4.0 since 2017. South Korea are currently preparing to produce UAVs and develop and test unmanned weapons systems such as rifle drones and Bomb drones. The South Korean military is also operating...

    As state-of-the-art materials are developed, lightening of military equipment will surely take place. Even though UGV has been developed for more than 80 years, it has not reached the stage of practical use so far. UGV has not yet reached the stage of practical use and is still being tested by...

    If i guess the weight of the ammunition of the RH130 L51 shown in this picture, it will be 80 to 90% heavier than the shell of the RH120 L55, the DM63. The DM63 weighs 21.4 kg, and the RH130 L51 shell is estimated to be at least 38kg. This weight is really hard for healthy soldiers to carry. I...

    As I said before, when I served in the South Korean military for 4 years, I had a chance to actually see the inside of the M1 Abrams tank and K2 tank when I was training with the US military and I realized how different the difference between the two was. The reason why M1 Abrams tanks and...

    It is unlikely that the weight of the Altay will be reduced to less than 65 tons. Because there are two things that Turkey's Ministry of National Defense strongly demanded from Otokar and Hyundai Rotem in the contract in the Altay tank development project. First: It should have thicker front...

    Most of the representative Western tanks are designed to maintain a weight of more than 60 tons. For example, M1A2 SEP v3(66.8 tons) tanks in the United States and Leopard 2A7(66.5 tons) tanks in Germany weigh more than 65 tons. The only drawback of these tanks is their weight. However, these...

    This contract should be considered as the first test of the improved S&T Dynamics' EST15K transmission. Seriously, Most Koreans are going crazy wondering if this transmission will roll without a problem at 65 tons of Altay tank 😂

    I should have been more careful when posting. Don't misunderstand. Except for incidents that took place in the military sector, most Koreans are still fond of Turkey. In the past, 60,000 Turkish soldiers came to South Korea to help us from North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union to protect...

    I agree with your argument. I don't think anyone should criticize or give bad perception to people in a particular country or country for any reason. I don't think this alone should ruin the relationship between the state and the state

    The person who leaked Korean tank technology was the military attaché of the Korean Embassy in Turkey. (His rank in the military is Brigadier General) In April 2016, the Korean prosecution checked the suspicious deposit details from the account of a ghost company established under the name of...

    I have lived in Turkey for 3 years, so I know some about AKP and RTE. There's every possibility. It's my personal guess, but it's possible that it's a military intermediary related to Otokar. It's really sad, but since the unauthorized leak of tank technology in South Korea, this incident has...

    It is unlikely that the U.S. has put pressure on Turkey and South Korea's contract to supply Altay tanks this time. Turkey is famous for actively pursuing the introduction of technologies from other countries in areas where development capabilities are insufficient in weapons development...

    As far as I know, Hyundai Rotem designed the engine room the same as K2 when developing Altay's prototype. The body of the BMC version of Altay will not be very different in design inside the chassis just like the Otokar version of Altay. The engine room of the K2 tank has 1000mm of free...
