By Alimat Aliyeva

Poland is deploying K2 tanks acquired from South Korea in
Branev, just a few kilometers from the border with Russia’s
Kaliningrad region, Azernews reports.

“During the first delivery, the 9th Brigade received seven
tanks. Another batch is expected later this year. Currently, the
unit has eight trained crews, who were trained by instructors from
the 20th Mechanized Brigade,” Koschinska said.

In July 2022, Poland and South Korea signed a framework
agreement for the supply of approximately 1,000 K2 tanks,
manufactured by Hyundai Rotem Corporation. In August of the same
year, a contract worth more than $3 billion was signed, under which
Hyundai Rotem pledged to deliver the first 180 tanks to Poland.
