OVERVIEW
Wheeled 8×8 self-propelled howitzer unveiled by Hanwha Aerospace in March 2026 for NATO export markets. Integrates the same 155 mm 52-caliber gun from the K9 Thunder onto a high-mobility wheeled chassis, offering faster strategic redeployment, lower logistics footprint, and full NATO-standard ammunition interoperability. Features an automated loading system to reduce crew size. Engagement range exceeds 40 km with conventional shells and up to ~70 km with extended-range or rocket-assisted projectiles.
