Israel’s Rafael signed a landmark deal with Hyundai Rotem to equip South Korea’s K2 battle tanks with the Trophy active protection system, the first time Korean armor will use the technology.
The $300,000 per tank system intercepts anti-tank threats in real time, boosting K2 survivability and competitiveness.
The agreement deepens Israel-South Korea defense ties, with cooperation on production.
Rafael also seeks to expand strategic cooperation with South Korea on countering hypersonic missile threats from Iran and North Korea.
[Germany also recently bought the same systems for their tanks.](https://www.rafael.co.il/news/historic-ceremony-in-germany-marks-the-launch-of-the-1st-leopard-tank-equipped-with-trophy-aps/)
Israels trophy system would be amazing in Ukraine for anti drone functions
