-It is envisioned with a silent hybrid-electric propulsion system, advanced active defenses, and stealth features.
-The biggest leap is its fully networked architecture, using AI for battle management and all primary functions, making it more like a B-21 bomber than a traditional tank. The K3 is projected to enter service around 2040.
We Got Really Close to the New K3 Tank Model Here in Poland
WARSAW, POLAND – In July, South Korea’s Hyundai-Rotem Corporation (HRC) formally announced that they were engaged in the development of the K3 next-generation main battle tank (NG-MBT).
And as luck would have it, we got really close to the model design that was being demoed at a recent defense expo here in Poland. All images in this article are from that event.
And they are impressive, to put it mildly.
The entire project is being carried out in conjunction with the Republic of Korea (ROK) government’s Agency for Defense Development (ADD) and Defense Agency for Technology and Quality.
