A video of the "K1E1 Performance Improvement Test" was recently published

 

 

 

This K1E1 Performance Improvement, K1E2, is very similar to what we saw previously of the K1E2 render showcasing the potential changes being made in this upgrade over the E1.

A render of potential components for a K1E2 upgrade. 

 

Components include the NBC protection (utilizing overpressure) which the K1 variants up until this point have lacked, air conditioning and heating, an 8Kw APU, and an additional battery bank. These additions are fitted to the space currently taken on the K1E1 by the bustle storage boxes along with extending the rear hull side storage to hold the APU, heater, and battery bank.

Plasan recently published a video showcasing their "Armor Solutions for The World Leading Platforms".

 

The video shows videos of the blast test rigs, simulation models, and renders, of the AS10 and AS21.

The Capital Mechanized Infantry Division during a joint firepower demonstration with the US 2nd Infantry Division at the Seungjin Firing Range. This firepower demonstration is apart of the larger Freedom Shield 2024 Exercise that is currently being held across South Korea.

A video showing one of the ROK BMP-3s displayed at the ROK Army Armor School.

 

Almost as neat as the video itself is an updated look at the Armor Park at the Army Armor School. We can see both the BMP-3 and the T-80U have been added to the collection, but other points of interest is the K21 prototype with the early 40mm barrel and the dual Raybolt Launcher on the turret as well as the Tiran-6 being repainted in the standard ROK tank camo, though under a covering making just the roadwheels visible.

Another video detailing ROK armored vehicles, this time the K9.

 

The video itself is pretty neat, detailing what looks to be an XK9.
But there are two larger points of interest, being the footage of the XK9 prototypes firing at the beginning of the video, and the XK9 developmental model.
