Designstudien zum neuen südkoreanischen MBT K3:

Hyundai Rotem officially registers the design of South Korea's future K3 stealth tank

The design of the registered tank, widely considered to be linked with the K3 Next-Generation Main Battle Tank (NG-MBT) program, was formally registered on April 17 and published on April 21, 2025. Hyundai Rotem paid the initial three-year registration fee of 65,000 KRW on the same day. The protection extends until August 26, 2044. The registered item is a single basic design for a “tracked ground combat vehicle” (classification 12), identified by serial number M001. [...]

The design filing includes nine drawings illustrating the vehicle from multiple angles, including an isometric view, orthographic projections, and enlarged views of the front and rear. The description specifies that the materials used are either metal or synthetic resin, and that the design is based on a future-oriented stealth shape suitable for combat missions in field conditions. The filing states that the configuration is intended for armored and mechanized units. Compared to the previous year’s version, the turret in this 2024 design appears slightly simplified.
