K2 "Black Panther" - South Korean main tank (Wojsko Polskie)

K2 - South Korea's main tank, which, together with its predecessor K1, complements each other and is not intended to replace the previous one in the armed forces. Construction work on the new tank began in 1993, although K1 was a modern tank. The tank is built with a classic composition - the driver's seat is in the front, the combat compartment is in the middle part, the engine compartment is in the back. The driver can use three periscopes, supplemented with therm-visors. In the combat compartment the artilleryman is on the left, and the tank commander is on the right. The machine is equipped with the latest electronic tracking, navigation, and warning equipment, which transmits real-time data on its and the enemy's position on the battlefield and its approaches, as well, as excellent fire control equipment. The cannon can fire two types of projectiles: anti-tank and cumulative. The armor perfectly protects the units and crew of the combat vehicle, consists of composite armor and dynamic armor, which can withstand the blows of almost all modern anti-tank weapons.
