2. Concerning the K2 specifically S. Korea's UNIT 025 & 033.
A. Is the CIWS (Close In Weapons System) the same as the APS (Active Protection System), I think yes? Shots are right @ 2.

B. Is the Gatling gun shown in the picture below mounted on the units above, and does it look larger then a 7.62mm?
C. The news is after a year of delays in dealing with power pack issues (This issue also had effected the K21 as well.) the K2 could be restarting production this year or next.
Not recommending any change in fielding date yet just not enough info yet. Something I'm watching. Will provide one of three that say production for this year and one for next. Jane's would put the number of K1 tanks at ~1050, see last post on K2 numbers also from Jane's and a couple of others.

Reading the above it seems like some tanks are already built before production was stopped just awaiting installation of the power packs and completion of the operational tests on going through August w/o reading too much between the lines.
So it looks like JAN. 2013 or sooner maybe. Prototypes are at around 25 units of which some
might be early production units.
