The ROK Army is conducting joint exercises in Qatar. Good to see them in the desert.

Did you screenhot the video scenes? Just posted it here without noticing your pics 😁

Video from first overseas ROK joint exercises with K9 SPH, K10 Ammunition Resupply Vehicle, K1 Armored Recovery Vehicle and K2 MBT in Qatar.


First time for me seeing K9A1 and PzH2000, K2 and Leo 2A7 firing side by side in a training exercise.

It's been a long time. I'm glad it was adopted now. Rather than simply rejoicing over the decision, the SNT should respond faithfully to the demands of the military and build credibility going forward.
I'm also glad that this infighting, mudslinging and finger pointing between DAPA, Doosan Infracore and SNT has ended after all these years. The whole power pack saga should be a lesson for future projects for all involved parties from defense agency to private companies.

There's a lot more interesting stuff in the video lol. It seems like what's going to happen in Europe is being shown first in the Qatar desert.:)

Hyundai Rotem, South Korea‘s main tank producer, will develop a hydrogen fuel cell MBT til 2040.

First from diesel engines to a hybrid propulsion and lastly hydrogen fuel cells.

And Korea is by no means a latecomer in li-ion technology with renowned battery companies like Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solutions and SK Innovation.

Hyundai Rotem belongs to car giant Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai/Kia) and they are confident to master hydrogen propulsion safely for military vehicles.


Is there information about logistics and infrastructure?

Not that I know of. Korea has a pretty good infra for industrial & commercial hydrogen applications, and know how of hydrogen fuel cells similar to Germany.
