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.

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.

My friend served as a K1E1 crew in the Army and when I showed him this picture, he had a hard time because it brought back memories of cleaning tanks after maneuver training.

K2 tanks in training in the UAE. The good thing about training overseas is that you can shoot beyond 3 km, which is not possible in Korea due to the terrain. In this exercise, they reported that they hit 100% of the targets beyond 3 km and even 4.5 km.
