Delivery of K9 howitzers to Poland. There has never been one like this before.
Poland has rapidly ordered military equipment from South Korea since the Ukraine war began, including K2GF tanks and K9A1 self-propelled howitzers. By 2023, additional orders for K9 howitzers were placed, and a second contract for K2 tanks was signed in 2025. Deliveries of K2GF tanks and K9A1 howitzers began in 2022, with the latest deliveries occurring in November 2023. The K2GF tanks will be assigned to the 9th Armored Cavalry Brigade, while the K9PL howitzers represent the latest standard for the Polish Army. The K9PL variant includes several enhancements and is expected to be delivered between 2026 and 2027, with K2PL tanks projected for delivery by 2030.
