Australia got it too and its going to be called the "AS9 Huntsman" here. Named after a spider not necessarily dangerous to humans but notorious for its speed, size, strength and terrifying appearance. Hanwha is also arguably going to win the Australian Army's IFV competition as well. If they do, the K21, if Australia adopts it, will ALSO be named after a spider. The "AS21 Redback." Redbacks ARE deadly to humans.
I'd like to point out that the K9-Thunder is actually being used by the Indian Army and a few units are currently deployed along the LAC (India China border separating Ladakh and Tibet) and the version of the K9-Thunder that we use is called K9-Vajra, which basically means the same thing but it's in Hindi Edit: As of now we have also ordered 200 more K9s to add to our already large arsenal of 100 K9s

Fun fact (or not so fun fact when you really think about it): the Korean DMZ, with its 70 years of having gone practically untouched by either side, has become a de facto nature reserve. Full of rare and endangered animal species, like the Amur tiger and the white-naped crane.
The real kicker is South Korea's ability to produce 3.2M 155mnm shells for these guns. U.S. capacity is currently at 300k rounds per year and the DoD is trying to bump it to 900k rounds per year, and the E.U. is debating the merits of building their own 155mm shell factories so they can produce 1m rounds per year. South Korea alone can produce 3.2M rounds per year, TODAY, right now if needed. Their capacity exceeds the U.S. and EU combined. And we can't really depend on the EU anyways so the global NATO 155mm shell production is solely on the shoulders of South Korea right now
Little Czechia alone is already producing over 100k shells a year, so it's not like there isn't any production in EU. What is needed is actually placing massive orders to the existing plants, preferably long term, so the facilities can start planning their production and recruitment needs.
K9 is not neccesarily best of the best, but Koreans offer really good deals on technology transfer and licencing. Its practically a ready made kit to produce in your country.
Perhaps Korea has developed the ideal means of developing their arms industry, by ensuring it has a disproportionately large income due to these production licences. Other countries which might otherwise not be able to buy their products would now be happy to partner with the Koreans. Seems like win win.

I worked at CP Tango just outside of Seoul and our S2 was telling us at that time that North Korea had enough artillery to fire 30,000 rounds per hour for 72 sustained. Most of their batteries were old Warsaw Pact era equipment but that’s still a fuck ton of fire power.
Good on S. Korea, Mr. Job(s). My wife was a S. Korean immigrant and a child during the Korean War. I still have a number of in-laws and friends both in Korea and here in the US.

Korea has done with their weapons export what they did with cars- went under the radar and popped up being one of the biggest players on the global market seemingly out of nowhere. And those licences are basically the best deal for both sides- countries like Poland and Türkiye get to have advanced weapon system industry in their country, giving thousands of jobs and domestically produced heavy weaponry and Korean companies get billions of dollars in licence agreements and contracts for building and supplying those manufacturing sites. Poland gets domestically produced, highly advanced tanks, self propelled artillery, etc. and Korea gets loads of cash for technology transfer and future "returning customers".
Poland gives Korea a foothold in Europe as well. it also did a lot to legitimize Korea's weapons. Poland will soon have the most powerful army in europe.

Well, they have that cousin who is always jealous, they have that brother from another mother who is always on their back, and also the father that even far away, it's always ready to protect his children. That's South Korea, Japan, and the US. The jealous one was that North Korea.
While we're talking about Korea, I'd like to add this: I grew up next to Kapyong Barracks in Winnipeg, Canada, so let's remember the fallen soldiers from the Korean War, from many countries, not just S. Korea and the USA. I never understood how we could so easily pretend to friends with CCP-run China when it is the exact same regime that killed our boys. Now that the CCP-China has become rich and powerful, everyone is becoming worried about their aggressive behaviour. WTF did you expect from a murderous dictatorship? PS: I say 'CCP-China' to emphasize that the industrious, ancient Chinese people are not the enemy of freedom & democracy, it's the cancer of the CCP that's the enemy. Look at the difference between north & south korea: one regime is a danger to the whole world, the other is a boon to the world (even if just for Samsung products & K-Pop :)). Our soldiers did NOT die for nothing but we must honour their memory by continuing to support democracies against dictatorships. Slava Ukraine. 'Slava' Taiwan.
How can Koreans forget the Battle of Gapyeong? There are pro-Chinese, pro-Russian pro-North Koreans in Korea, but that comes from the inevitability of democracy. flaws and weaknesses. Currently, anti-China sentiment among Koreans is surveyed at over 80%, which is the highest in the world. So, Chinese media are dealing with the serious anti-China issue in Korea.Current Korean regime is based on common sense, and the whole people who support the regime will never forget the sacrifices of our friends during the Korean War in the past. The countries that participated in the Korean War and their people will continue to be very special friends to Koreans. As a Korean, i am very grateful that your country, Canada, participated in the Korean War, and I have deep respect for Canadian Korean War veterans. And, thank you for mentioning Gapyeong in Canada.

Hanwha is an incredibly inovative weapons manufacturer. Their IFV and Artillery are fantastic. I would also have been happy to see Australia buy their tank as well. Best of all they would be produced under livence in Australia.
The vehicle to vehicle ammo transfer looks awesome and is a great idea. That said, I would love to hear the Korean soldier's jokes about it because the transfer resembles something else...
Im not quite sure, thats adding another armored vehicle, more fuel consumption and personell. The advantage in the case of biological weapons or limited nuclear strike dont seem like it would be useful for most countries buying. (I know nothing about artillery)
@@correctionguy7632 This is a proactive attempt from Korea. Our declining birthrates is a national security issue, which is why we are investing in trying automate things that can be automated.

Good, it pisses me off that the US( my home) supplied Pakistan with military assistance for so long. I heard we cut aid by a lot but that's not $0 in aid so still not good enough lol. I'll have to look it up right now and see if we still give aid to a literal terrorist govt. I know India and the US are friends but we should be closer friend imo. We have way more in common than we do with Pakistanis. As a group the two countries could carry out some successful COIN ops. We both have a common enemy, radical islamic terrorists, China, and Pakistan should be the third. Wonder why we didn't tell Pak about the Bin Laden raid lol? Of course, I.S.I. would have told him and he would have disappeared for good!! Edit: Well, our aid was around 1.3 billion to Pakistan and now it's under 200 million which is a move in the right direction. Next step: cutting that to no military aid and only medical or food donations. Even then, they should be able to fend for themselves. We have veterans of the war on terror living on US streets dying from drug overdoses and suicide hourly!!! Why is Biden and and nobody in my govt. Trying to help the homeless veterans and homeless in general instead of sending billions to countries that either hate us or would stab us in the back any day of the week. And here we are sending billions upon billions to Ukraine when we have starving American citizens!!! Or helping illegal immigrants before American citizens!!! Almost everyone in the govt. (Especially the left) should be absolutely ashamed of their inaction and complicity in such travesties.

@@J_X999 err India did bulid a 155mm Self propelled howitzer “Bhim” which was of lesser weight than the K9 “vajra” with gun provided by South African gun “Denel” but due to some allegations on corruption charges the company was blackliated (which is unfortunate) and k9 was chosen
I really hope the North and South can eventually get past being in a 70 year war with each other. All that creativity could be put into making better stuff for consumers. I have a South Korean phone, a South Korean TV, and a South Korean car and they are all great. My warrantees might be in trouble if war starts, not to mention the millions of human beings killed. Let's pray this never happens.
Considering the performance and reliability of the K9, it is not expensive even if it is 4 times the current price. It is cheap because there are many production units.
K9A2 : Fully automatic autoloader, continuous shooting 4~6 shots/min, rapid shooting 3 minutes 9~10 shots/min (Prototype rollout, 1200 Korean military upgrades allowed in 2022) (RAP 54km, KGM guided shell 40km (CEP 10m) K9A3 : Unmanned turret, L58 water-cooled gun, KGGM 100km guided shell (Porototype shell development completed) The self-propelled gun with the most production of active SPHs and plans to upgrade. Facts revealed in the recent war in Ukraine: South Korea has the world's No. 1 artillery power, and South Korea currently has more shells than the U.S. and NATO combined, which is more than the number of shells held by the former Soviet Union in its heyday and is the world's largest shell-held country. South Korea is producing 150,000 shells a year at a low rate, and can produce up to 500,000 rounds. Many Korean men often refer to the Korean Ministry of Defense(KUKBANGBU) as "POBANGBU (Ministry of artillery(PO))". Artillery is the god of War. - Stalin
We are building an Australianised version here called the AS9 Huntsman. AS is the NATO code for Australia so most of the vehicles bought or built in the last 15 years or so have an AS prefix. They have cut back the number though unfortunately to acquire more missiles and that type of thing.
Id like to say, korea always have been obsessed with cannons and bombs since when the black powder came to war in first place. Since late goryeo dynasty(918~1392, so around late 1300) they have developed gun powder powered arrows and cannons which are used like small missiles. Since koreans were mostly on defense, so they have come to develop more focus on ranged weapons than china and japan, resulting to build artillery weapons like hwacha, battleships such as turtle ships and more. Korea's ministry of defense is like very obsessed with making more cannons and arms, and i think its also a result of such old tradition they have lol.
@Joe Lau can be done with much more equipment in safe area farther back from the front. At the front you won't be exposed to enemy fire and can reload your artillery quick and safe.
Was a sad day when the Danish army decided for french cesar instead of the K9 a few years back as the new artillery system. however since the entire fleet have been donated to Ukraine ( compare that if big nations like the US or France/germany etc did the same % of army donations), maby there will be a new chance to get the K9
Unfortunately not this time, we went with the Israeli-made ATMOS artillery system plus and additional PULS MLRS system to replace CAESAR. It's due to be delivered next year.
Ceasar and K9 are designed for different usage. One for quick mobility (inc. air transport) and manoeuvrability, the other for heavy armored artillery exchanges. Considering Denmark geographical location and NATO membership, I'd say it makes more sense to get the Ceasar over the K9. For a country like Poland or Finland, it would be the opposite. Ideally you'd have both systems however as they are complementary rather than competitors. Both are excellent artillery systems.
@@jagorsimp7020 yes agreed, also Ceasar was bought 100% correctly to the role as a high effect, precise and mobile system at a good cost vs the K9, to the role of delivering fire support from fortified positions with low thread of counter battery/aircraft etc. like fire support in international missions like Iraq and afghansistan. the large thread of conventional conflict, few imagined back when the program was started. my only bias towards K9 is to be honest the general weather in denmark and sitting inside a heated box doing long fire mission drills instead of standing outside in frezing rain :D
@@Jauertussen1 the Ceasar weight is only 18 tonnes, that means DK can airlift Ceasar via standard C-130 Hercules. To airlift K9 Thunder would take C-17 Globemaster, I do not think Denmark have C-17 or is a member of Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC). Ceasar make sense for an expeditionary force, but for a high intensity conflict in Europe, the standard choice for mechanised brigades been tracked 155 mm sp howitzer artillery. During the Norwegian winter trials, only K9 Thunder was able to operate in the cold and snow, we shared test results with Finns and Estonia, all selected the K9. We want artillery that works in the high north, homeland defence have priority. France maybe want lightweight 155 mm artillery they can airlift and use in Africa.
Cappy, you've really outdone yourself with this one. By the power vested in my by the eternal algorithm I hereby pronounce you THE ABOVE AVERAGE INFANTRY MAN.
just an additional detail that was not mentioned. Korea's geography heavily influenced the development of artillery. Korea's geography is extremely mountainous, with 70% of existing land being "mountains". As a result, direct-fire weapons easily become rendered useless, as the opposing force can just retreat to the other side of the hill. Thus, the need for accurate and voluminous indirect fire was born, to hit and damage targets hiding on the other side of the hill while being provided cover by hiding on a slope that cannot be directly seen by the enemy.
AND very little strategic depth as well as a peninsula with Seoul only 30 miles from the most heavily fortified border in the world. You need a lot of firepower to break thru in this situation

The scary thing is that there are almost 300,000 men under the age of 35 who can handle these gloves in Korea
More than 80 percent of Korean men served two to three years regardless of age
They can still remember and run everything they need in the military
I am 53 years old too, but I can remember and operate everything I learned in the army

Australia got it too and its going to be called the "AS9 Huntsman" here. Named after a spider not necessarily dangerous to humans but notorious for its speed, size, strength and terrifying appearance. Hanwha is also arguably going to win the Australian Army's IFV competition as well. If they do, the K21, if Australia adopts it, will ALSO be named after a spider. The "AS21 Redback." Redbacks ARE deadly to humans.
Makes sense - Their tech looks to be excellent and their pricing is sharp.

I'd like to point out that the K9-Thunder is actually being used by the Indian Army and a few units are currently deployed along the LAC (India China border separating Ladakh and Tibet) and the version of the K9-Thunder that we use is called K9-Vajra, which basically means the same thing but it's in Hindi

Fun fact (or not so fun fact when you really think about it): the Korean DMZ, with its 70 years of having gone practically untouched by either side, has become a de facto nature reserve. Full of rare and endangered animal species, like the Amur tiger and the white-naped crane.

The real kicker is South Korea's ability to produce 3.2M 155mnm shells for these guns. U.S. capacity is currently at 300k rounds per year and the DoD is trying to bump it to 900k rounds per year, and the E.U. is debating the merits of building their own 155mm shell factories so they can produce 1m rounds per year. South Korea alone can produce 3.2M rounds per year, TODAY, right now if needed. Their capacity exceeds the U.S. and EU combined. And we can't really depend on the EU anyways so the global NATO 155mm shell production is solely on the shoulders of South Korea right now
Absolutely true. Once South Korea decides to supply Ukraine directly with ammo, Russia is fucked.
Little Czechia alone is already producing over 100k shells a year, so it's not like there isn't any production in EU. What is needed is actually placing massive orders to the existing plants, preferably long term, so the facilities can start planning their production and recruitment needs.
"We can't depend on the EU" is this some Fox-News s***? The contracts are already done and production is ramping up.
@@johanmetreus1268 Rheinmetall they are producing 600.000 155mm shells in 2023🤷♂️

K9 is not neccesarily best of the best, but Koreans offer really good deals on technology transfer and licencing. Its practically a ready made kit to produce in your country.
Do they come in matte black? I'll take 10!
Perhaps Korea has developed the ideal means of developing their arms industry, by ensuring it has a disproportionately large income due to these production licences. Other countries which might otherwise not be able to buy their products would now be happy to partner with the Koreans. Seems like win win.
@@conormcmenemie5126 it has its own logic: yes, we sell you ready made tech and you'll be able to make the stuff we sold you on your own, but with the profits from selling you our tech we'll develop even better tech.
True, things like the Pzh2000 beat UT by sheer specs, but the K9 is just a great product for such a relatively low price.

Wait till the K9A2 version becomes operational. It will be fully automated from loading, and target acquisition to firing. But the next version K9A3 version currently in development will have unmanned capabilities with AI that can act independently or as part of a drone battery.
@@michaellim4165 Anything with offensive weapons attached as a drone is bad idea. If enemy can get into command link and highjack it, you are screwed. Even just electronic warfare methods on attacking signal can disable whole system in worst case since everything is wireless. Also if drone gets stuck or there is malfunction, there is no one around to get it unstuck hence need for men to solve issues in the field.
@@Hellsong89 That's just rumor or wishlist of K9A3. I think 70 to 100km range increase is real spec, but driverless is probably just might be wishlist. It will come down to 2 crew with driver and commander with full autoloading SPH.

The M1978 Koksan is not entirely based on 180mm S-23, but it combines the recoil mechanism of one with the barrel and ammuntion of 17cm Kanone 18 which was supplied to North Korea as surplus from captured German stockpile by the Soviets as they moved towards their newer and standardised artillery system.

Paradoxically n.korean threatening for the last 70 years has facilitated S.Korean military industries. S.Korean armed forces have 600k troops. They are huge and massive consumers who helped the military industries to reinvest and create new technology continuously. American technological supports have played a great role in the process of military development.

I was stationed in South Korea in 2002. I worked at CP Tango just outside of Seoul and our S2 was telling us at that time that North Korea had enough artillery to fire 30,000 rounds per hour for 72 sustained. Most of their batteries were old Warsaw Pact era equipment but that’s still a fuck ton of fire power.
Good on S. Korea, Mr. Job(s). My wife was a S. Korean immigrant and a child during the Korean War. I still have a number of in-laws and friends both in Korea and here in the US. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and other Asian are under considerable risk from N. Korea and China's aggressive authoritarian regimes. I certainly hope the freedom oriented societies can work together in overcoming this challenge.
Damn, NK building up their army like I liked to play RTS games when I was a kid. I loved maxxing out the population limit with indirect fire units.

Korea has done with their weapons export what they did with cars- went under the radar and popped up being one of the biggest players on the global market seemingly out of nowhere.
And those licences are basically the best deal for both sides- countries like Poland and Türkiye get to have advanced weapon system industry in their country, giving thousands of jobs and domestically produced heavy weaponry and Korean companies get billions of dollars in licence agreements and contracts for building and supplying those manufacturing sites.
Poland gets domestically produced, highly advanced tanks, self propelled artillery, etc. and Korea gets loads of cash for technology transfer and future "returning customers".
Poland gives Korea a foothold in Europe as well. it also did a lot to legitimize Korea's weapons. Poland will soon have the most powerful army in europe.

350,000 troops were dispatched to the Vietnam War. We're always ready for war 😂

Well, they have that cousin who is always jealous, they have that brother from another mother who is always on their back, and also the father that even far away, it's always ready to protect his children. That's South Korea, Japan, and the US. The jealous one was that North Korea.
While we're talking about Korea, I'd like to add this: I grew up next to Kapyong Barracks in Winnipeg, Canada, so let's remember the fallen soldiers from the Korean War, from many countries, not just S. Korea and the USA. I never understood how we could so easily pretend to friends with CCP-run China when it is the exact same regime that killed our boys. Now that the CCP-China has become rich and powerful, everyone is becoming worried about their aggressive behaviour. WTF did you expect from a murderous dictatorship? PS: I say 'CCP-China' to emphasize that the industrious, ancient Chinese people are not the enemy of freedom & democracy, it's the cancer of the CCP that's the enemy. Look at the difference between north & south korea: one regime is a danger to the whole world, the other is a boon to the world (even if just for Samsung products & K-Pop :)). Our soldiers did NOT die for nothing but we must honour their memory by continuing to support democracies against dictatorships. Slava Ukraine. 'Slava' Taiwan.
let's not insult cancer by comparing it to ccp.
How can Koreans forget the Battle of Gapyeong? There are pro-Chinese, pro-Russian pro-North Koreans in Korea, but that comes from the inevitability of democracy. flaws and weaknesses. Currently, anti-China sentiment among Koreans is surveyed at over 80%, which is the highest in the world. So, Chinese media are dealing with the serious anti-China issue in Korea.Current Korean regime is based on common sense, and the whole people who support the regime will never forget the sacrifices of our friends during the Korean War in the past. The countries that participated in the Korean War and their people will continue to be very special friends to Koreans. As a Korean, i am very grateful that your country, Canada, participated in the Korean War, and I have deep respect for Canadian Korean War veterans. And, thank you for mentioning Gapyeong in Canada.

Hanwha is an incredibly inovative weapons manufacturer. Their IFV and Artillery are fantastic. I would also have been happy to see Australia buy their tank as well. Best of all they would be produced under livence in Australia.

The vehicle to vehicle ammo transfer looks awesome and is a great idea. That said, I would love to hear the Korean soldier's jokes about it because the transfer resembles something else...
On paper it is a good idea, but I have heard that there were alignment concerns. Not sure if we fixed that or if it was a whole load of nothing.

Indian armed forces considering to manufacture another 200 pieces which twice the original planned.
Trials also underway to test its performance in terrains all along Pakistan and China if it’s good then then number will go to more than 1000 guns
Good, it pisses me off that the US( my home) supplied Pakistan with military assistance for so long. I heard we cut aid by a lot but that's not $0 in aid so still not good enough lol. I'll have to look it up right now and see if we still give aid to a literal terrorist govt. I know India and the US are friends but we should be closer friend imo. We have way more in common than we do with Pakistanis. As a group the two countries could carry out some successful COIN ops. We both have a common enemy, radical islamic terrorists, China, and Pakistan should be the third. Wonder why we didn't tell Pak about the Bin Laden raid lol? Of course, I.S.I. would have told him and he would have disappeared for good!!
Edit: Well, our aid was around 1.3 billion to Pakistan and now it's under 200 million which is a move in the right direction. Next step: cutting that to no military aid and only medical or food donations. Even then, they should be able to fend for themselves. We have veterans of the war on terror living on US streets dying from drug overdoses and suicide hourly!!! Why is Biden and and nobody in my govt.

Considering the performance and reliability of the K9, it is not expensive even if it is 4 times the current price. It is cheap because there are many production units.
K9A2 : Fully automatic autoloader, continuous shooting 4~6 shots/min, rapid shooting 3 minutes 9~10 shots/min
(Prototype rollout, 1200 Korean military upgrades allowed in 2022)
(RAP 54km, KGM guided shell 40km (CEP 10m)
K9A3 : Unmanned turret, L58 water-cooled gun, KGGM 100km guided shell (Porototype shell development completed)
The self-propelled gun with the most production of active SPHs and plans to upgrade.
Facts revealed in the recent war in Ukraine:
South Korea has the world's No. 1 artillery power, and South Korea currently has more shells than the U.S. and NATO combined, which is more than the number of shells held by the former Soviet Union in its heyday and is the world's largest shell-held country.
South Korea is producing 150,000 shells a year at a low rate, and can produce up to 500,000 rounds.

We are building an Australianised version here called the AS9 Huntsman. AS is the NATO code for Australia so most of the vehicles bought or built in the last 15 years or so have an AS prefix. They have cut back the number though unfortunately to acquire more missiles and that type of thing.
Awesome vid. Paladin looks pretty antiquated by comparison.
this vehicle is amazing. Good job South Korea!
Id like to say, korea always have been obsessed with cannons and bombs since when the black powder came to war in first place. Since late goryeo dynasty(918~1392, so around late 1300) they have developed gun powder powered arrows and cannons which are used like small missiles. Since koreans were mostly on defense, so they have come to develop more focus on ranged weapons than china and japan, resulting to build artillery weapons like hwacha, battleships such as turtle ships and more. Korea's ministry of defense is like very obsessed with making more cannons and arms, and i think its also a result of such old tradition they have lol.
I liked the meme, used at 13:15 , she is an actress from Rede Globo de TV here in Brazil and her name is Renata Sorah, very famous and talented.

Was a sad day when the Danish army decided for french cesar instead of the K9 a few years back as the new artillery system. however since the entire fleet have been donated to Ukraine ( compare that if big nations like the US or France/germany etc did the same % of army donations), maby there will be a new chance to get the K9
Unfortunately not this time, we went with the Israeli-made ATMOS artillery system plus and additional PULS MLRS system to replace CAESAR. It's due to be delivered next year.
Ceasar and K9 are designed for different usage. One for quick mobility (inc. air transport) and manoeuvrability, the other for heavy armored artillery exchanges. Considering Denmark geographical location and NATO membership, I'd say it makes more sense to get the Ceasar over the K9. For a country like Poland or Finland, it would be the opposite. Ideally you'd have both systems however as they are complementary rather than competitors. Both are excellent artillery systems.
@@jagorsimp7020 yes agreed, also Ceasar was bought 100% correctly to the role as a high effect, precise and mobile system at a good cost vs the K9, to the role of delivering fire support from fortified positions with low thread of counter battery/aircraft etc. like fire support in international missions like Iraq and afghansistan. the large thread of conventional conflict, few imagined back when the program was started. my only bias towards K9 is to be honest the general weather in denmark and sitting inside a heated box doing long fire mission drills instead of standing outside in frezing rain :D
@@Jauertussen1 the Ceasar weight is only 18 tonnes, that means DK can airlift Ceasar via standard C-130 Hercules. To airlift K9 Thunder would take C-17 Globemaster, I do not think Denmark have C-17 or is a member of Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC).
Ceasar make sense for an expeditionary force, but for a high intensity conflict in Europe, the standard choice for mechanised brigades been tracked 155 mm sp howitzer artillery.
During the Norwegian winter trials, only K9 Thunder was able to operate in the cold and snow, we shared test results with Finns and Estonia, all selected the K9. We want artillery that works in the high north, homeland defence have priority. France maybe want lightweight 155 mm artillery they can airlift and use in Africa.
Can we all appreciate the fact that Task & Purpose never disappointed us with his content. 👍👍👍
Not the case.
Cappy, you've really outdone yourself with this one. By the power vested in my by the eternal algorithm I hereby pronounce you THE ABOVE AVERAGE INFANTRY MAN.
Awesome GOAT GUN commercial. You both have a bright future
The idea of a reload tank is pretty cool
just an additional detail that was not mentioned. Korea's geography heavily influenced the development of artillery. Korea's geography is extremely mountainous, with 70% of existing land being "mountains". As a result, direct-fire weapons easily become rendered useless, as the opposing force can just retreat to the other side of the hill. Thus, the need for accurate and voluminous indirect fire was born, to hit and damage targets hiding on the other side of the hill while being provided cover by hiding on a slope that cannot be directly seen by the enemy.
AND very little strategic depth as well as a peninsula with Seoul only 30 miles from the most heavily fortified border in the world. You need a lot of firepower to break thru in this situation
