AT least someone is putting up cash for defense. And we can be sure that ROK isnt going to sell these to the PLA.

Impressive, but can they march as well as the NKA?

Here is a whole line of good SK stuff that goes Boom.

Have the Koreans developed their own composite armor or are they using Chobham under license?

our own composite armor. aslo, we developed 120mm/L55 gun & autoloader.

there were some glitches in domestic 1500hp powerpack for mass production version. I think those glitches were fixed because they got contract for first batch(with domestically developed powerpack) few weeks ago.

3 prototype vehicles were equippped with German powerpack.

In my neighbor, it might not be a bad idea...depending of course what kind of mileage it gets. But it would save on insurance because it can go anywhere and wont have to worry about accidents.

I once said ADD or Agency for Defense Development developed hot-launching VLS for KD2 and KD3 class destroyers. they also developed cold-launching VLS for KM-SAM, too.

Yeah.....Neat option but does it have a good sound system.
When you hear that thing going “BOOM BOOM” down the street, you better run.
