Today we hit on what Poland will be getting from South Korea.

Before I go on, ensure "you don't get your panties in a wad" because this deal is a long way off.

First it is hoped that both parties will have possibly by the end of the month either an MOU (Memorandum Of Understanding) or an MOA (Memorandum Of Agreement) which is a more binding agreement BUT, NOT A CONTRACT.

The deal is apparently worth 2.3 trillion dollars.

Poland will get 180 K2 Black Panther MBTs, 670 K9 Thunder 155mm howitzers and 48 FA-50s (Supersonic Trainer/Light Attack aircraft. These are generally considered the best in this type of craft in the world.) and will apparently receive 20 of them this year.

Don, I remember having discussions on the K2PL but I can't remember that we modeled them. Like how we modeled the foreign sales U.S. M1A2C, I see the foreign sales K2 somewhere between the K1 and K2.

Poland wants the K9 due to issues that the KRAB (Based on the K9.) has been suffering from since it entered service.

I strongly caution everyone we probably except for the jets as noted, will be unlikely to see the tanks and the artillery is up in the air.
