Zitat:Egypt signs for K9 howitzershttps://www.janes.com/defence-news/indus...-howitzers
Egypt has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with South Korea covering the joint manufacturing of 155 mm K9 self-propelled howitzers, the Egyptian Armed Forces' spokesperson confirmed on 1 February. South Korea's official Yonhap news agency earlier cited the country's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) as saying that an Egyptian K9 agreement worth more than KRW2 trillion (USD1.65 billion) had been finalised, without saying how many howitzers would be delivered. [...]
Hanwha Defense displayed a K9 at the International Defense and Military Industries Expo (EDEX) held in Cairo in November 2021, which was labelled as a K9EGY variant as well as a model of a K10EGY ammunition resupply vehicle. The Egyptian military confirmed during the show that it was considering acquiring the K9, while Yonhap reported that the howitzers would be produced locally in Egypt.
