The tanks are part of the 180 K2 tanks Poland agreed to purchase from Hyundai Rotem in a $3.4 billion contract – Korea’s first export of such battle tanks. Hyundai Rotem, an affiliate of Hyundai Motor Co., said 10 units of the K2 Black Panther, a next-generation main battle tank, safely arrived in Gdynia, a port city on the Baltic Sea coast in the northernmost part of Poland. Hyundai Rotem Co., a South Korean defense equipment maker, said on Wednesday it has delivered the first batch of its battle tanks to Poland as part of a $3.4 billion weapons deal it signed with the Baltic country in August. “Furthermore, research and development for multipurpose self-driving vehicles will constantly be made in the future.Government　officials　and　business　leaders　at　a　ceremony　for　the　arrival　of　Hyundai　Rotem's　K2　Black　Panther　tanks　in　Poland　on　Dec.　7,　2022 “We plan on diversifying our regional K2 Black Panther in order to gain global acknowledgement,” said a Hyundai Rotem official. It will continue such efforts at the International Defense Exhibition & Conference 2023. The company successfully displayed the K2 Black Panther at the World Defense Show 2022 in Saudi Arabia in March. Hyundai Rotem is expanding its business to the Europe and Middle East. In August 2022, K2 Black Panther entered the European market successfully after signing the K2 Gap Filler Execution contract. The active protective systems on the model apply both soft-kill and hard-kill functions, taking articulate measures to not only escape but also intercept missiles. Also, improved cooling systems allow for the most optimal usage in adaptive environments. K2 Black Panther designed for the Middle East have Remote Control Weapon Systems (RCWS) and 360-degree situational awareness camera that detects the approach of nearby combatants. The vehicle is equipped with auto-loaded 120mm 55-caliber smoothbore gun, boasting intensive firepower with only three crewmen in accordance to its automatic loading systems.

The K2 Black Panther is Hyundai Rotem’s signature model, and is currently undergoing its third batch of mass-production. Hyundai Rotem is strengthening its position as Korea’s sole supplier of MBTs (main battle tanks), family vehicles and wheeled armored vehicles (8x8, 6圆, command and post vehicle).
