As of 2024, the K9 Self-Propelled Howitzer is operated by 10 countries and is renowned as a true 'Global Bestseller.'
First deployed along the Korean frontlines in 1999, K9 Thunder also sought for export opportunities. Beginning with Türkiye in 2001, K9 has steadily elevated the global profile of Korean defense, reaching countries such as Poland, Finland, India, Norway and Estonia.
From performance trials in Norway's snowy fields, scorching deserts, to the 'K9 User Club' held this January in Finland, and the next-generation K9A3 howitzer equipped with a fully unmanned system.
The K9, a symbol of Korea's defense industry, represents both its present and future.
It embodies the pride of protecting the globe with the indigenous technology.
Behind its success are the unsung heroes who dedicated themselves in unseen places.
