Army’s upcoming artillery strategy has ‘a big menu’ to choose from
 
 
 
A few interesting things of note. It's not exactly a coincidence there's a L52 M109 at AUSA, given the revelations earlier this year that L58 ERCA had wear and tear issues. Someone smelled blood in the water...
 
That said, I don't think the M109L52 has an autoloader, has it? Just manual loading?

The K9A2 at DSEI London 2023
 

thanks to @skylancer-3441 measures on vehicle and photos, i corrected my previous estimations based on vehicle photogrammetry which had theory about 150mm thickness of block overall
 

 

 
steel plates also have a thin layer of some fiber in coating

M1A2 SEPv4 canned in favour of M1A3 (type-classified M1E3). Sounds a like AbramsX in some areas. 

Fairly certain that we can see a lid + latches at the turret side (on the right - increased brightness and contrast).

Closest to confirmation we’re likely to get regarding the Elbit MT30 turret. 
 

DAPA states as of earlier this year on the program's (Raybolt) status (https://www.dapa.go.kr/dapa/na/ntt/selectNttInfo.do?bbsId=362&nttSn=43155&menuId=689; machine translation):
"A project to secure medium-range anti-tank guided weapons for infantry battalion-level operations by investing KRW 1,181.24 billion from '16 to '25 to replace aging 00/000mm recoilless guns and tows."

As far as it being a Battalion Level ATGM, having 3 Mass Production runs at this point in time, and only having ~2 years left for this current program, you probably could make a guess as to how widespread it's distribution is. But as far as actual numbers go I can't find anything.
 
Tangentially related, the Company and Platoon level Anti-Tank Weapon situation is odd since the Panzerfaust 3, despite being in service is mainly reserved for large scale trainings and as wartime equipment. So in lieu of the reserved usage of the Panzerfaust 3 older equipment is still use at those levels (Company, Platoon). There is some initiatives for newer LAWs to be developed and produced but it's all very slow going due to budget, requirements, and development time. (http://www.bizhankook.com/bk/article/22866)

New render of the XK3 from Hyundai Rotem. 130mm gun, unmanned turret, KAPS, combined CITV/RWS, and Composite Rubber Tracks among other things that seem to be included in this preliminary render.
