Poland Completes Negotiations to Buy South Korean K2 Tanks, Agency Says
- In mid-2025, Poland finalized agreements to acquire an additional 180 K2 battle tanks from South Korea for its military forces.
- This follows Poland's 2022 deal for 180 tanks and its ongoing military modernization prompted by the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- The contract, valued at about $6.5 billion, includes tanks, 80 accompanying vehicles, a support package, and plans for local assembly in Poland.
- Hyundai Rotem stated in a regulatory filing that the details of the deal have been verified with the Polish armament agency, and a Polish deputy minister announced that the initial delivery of 30 tanks is scheduled for 2026.
- This deal strengthens Poland's land forces, aligns with EU and NATO goals, and secures Hyundai Rotem a stronger foothold in European defense markets.
