Neues südkoreanisches Amphibien-Sturmfahrzeug. Es hat ein paar Ähnlichkeiten zum nicht gebauten ehem. US-Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV), scheint aber langsamer als dieses im Wasser zu sein (wohl 20 km/h Anlandegeschwindigkeit) und auch etwas leichter. Bewaffnung vermutlich eine 35-mm- oder 40-mm-Kanone. Einführung könnte ab 2028 sein...

Zitat:South Korea advances plan for next-generation amphibious assault vehiclehttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/land-...lt-vehicle
Seoul has taken further steps to progress the next generation of its indigenously developed Korea Amphibious Assault Vehicle (KAAV) with plans to operationally field the new equipment by 2036.
South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) announced on 28 September that the country will allocate about KRW2.1 trillion (USD1.78 billion) towards the programme, referred to by the agency as the ‘Landing Assault Armoured Vehicle-II' project.
The decision was taken at the 139th meeting of the Defense Project Promotion Committee that was held a day before DAPA's announcement, the agency added. [...] The Republic of Korea Marine Corps (RoKMC) is estimated to operate a fleet of about 170 KAAV units. The equipment is based on the BAE Systems' AAV7A1 series of armoured vehicles and manufactured in-country by Samsung Techwin (now Hanwha Defense).
