680 tanks exported to Poland! Yin Xingu was overjoyed.

Recently, a South Korean missile blew up its own base. This oops incident made the South Korean military's face look bad. However, South Korean President Soon Seek-yell does not see it that way. Soon Seek-yell believes that his military-industrial-military-industrialization capability has reached a level that is quite advanced in the world, which can be found in the recent military trade conference.

Just recently, South Korea's defense exhibition came to an end, and this defense exhibition lasted for 5 days, the most in history. South Korea not only displayed many army-heavy weapons to the public, such as K2A2 tanks and K self-propelled guns, but also other weapons, such as FAFF fighter jets, KFC fourth-generation fighter jets, and other advanced air force weapons.

The South Korean media reported that the amount of South Korean arms exports to foreign countries will reach 20 billion dollars in 2022. Soon Seek-yell's speech is to develop Korea's military industry as a pillar industry. He wants to establish Korea as a military power.

How should we interpret this military trade exhibition and Korea's military industry capability?

First, this military trade conference is a very powerful opportunity for South Korea to actively expand its influence in Europe and intervene in the Russia-Ukraine situation.

Why?

There is much evidence to prove South Korea's idea.

South Korea and Poland have signed an order for South Korea to give Russia a little credit

This military trade program includes.

South Korea is giving Poland 180 K2A1 tanks for a total of $2.3 billion.

South Korea is to supply 400 K2A2 tanks to Poland by 2030 for a total amount in the range of $6 billion.

48 FAFF fighter jets to the Polish Air Force for a total of $2.6 billion.

South Korea's exports of K series self-propelled guns to the Polish Army total $3.8 billion.

Why is South Korea exporting a full range of conventional weaponry to Poland, including tanks, aircraft, and artillery?

The reason lies in the special location and special situation of Poland.

Poland is geographically close to Eastern Europe, and its special situation is that Poland and Russia have a deep hatred, and Poland is always hoping that it can directly defeat the Russian army on the battlefield and turn the tide for the final victory. In the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, Poland has the idea of intervening in the war at any time.

So what should Poland do in the face of the Russian military might, especially the superiority the Russians have gained in terms of tanks?

Poland decided to build one of the strongest land forces in Europe. Poland imported 580 advanced tanks from South Korea, whose performance is at least equal to that of the Russian army, and some of them may have surpassed the Russian army. With the purchase of 48 FAFF fighter jets and the future purchase of the stealth fighter KFC, the Polish Air Force will gain a local advantage over the Russian Air Force. This is one thing that the Russian air force is very worried about and must be vigilant about.

By exporting Polish weapons, South Korea has successfully intervened in the situation in Europe, between Russia and Poland, Russia and NATO, which is a very dangerous thing for Russia and a "celebration" for Poland. The South Korea that Soon Seek-yep wants has become a country that can intervene in the world at will like the United States. If South Korea continues to export arms to European countries in the future, South Korea's influence in Europe will increase across the board, which will allow South Korea to deepen cooperation with European countries so that they can support South Korea in its time of need.

Second, South Korean arms did achieve exports to the world, and the development of South Korean arms did exceed the expectations of the United States.

The United States has always wanted to keep South Korea in its hands, hoping that South Korea will always be its follower and not have any idea of independent behavior. However, South Korea's petty ideas are completely different from the U.S. Although South Korea defines itself as an ally of the U.S., South Korea believes that it should be less restricted than Japan in developing its military industry. After all, Japan is a defeated country in World War II, a fascist state, and it is justifiable for the United States to restrict Japan. But the U.S. restrictions on South Korea is carried a bit unjustified.

In this arms conference, South Korea on a comprehensive display of its military industry capabilities.

In addition to exporting 580 tanks, 48 fighter jets, and a large number of K artillery to Poland, South Korea's arms are also exported to other countries around the world, the following look at the order statistics of South Korea's arms exports.

South Korea exported 355 Ks to Turkey, 48 Ks to Finland, 24 Ks to Norway, 12 Ks to Estonia, 300 Ks to the Indian Army, and 200 Ks to the Egyptian Army, which add up to more than 1,700 Ks. The South Korean artillery production capacity is very impressive.

In terms of tank exports, South Korea became the same as Russia, exporting 500 tanks at a time. The United States and Germany are unable to do so.

South Korea's self-propelled artillery exports reached first place in the world, exporting 1,000 self-propelled artillery pieces at a time, which is an extremely rare thing in the world.

South Korea is also able to export fighter jets to foreign countries, and there are only a few military powers such as the US and Russia that can export military aircraft today.

South Korea's military industry, which can manufacture weapons such as aircraft and t, tanks, are large-caliber artillery, and rocket artillery, ships, and missiles are truly something to be reckoned with. If the United States had not placed restrictions on South Korea's missile development, it is possible that South Korea would have built its medium-range missiles.

So why is South Korea's arms export so good?

1. Strong technology integration ability, South Korea can integrate Western technology with its technology to the outside world, South Korea's cars are made of technology in this way, and so arm.

2. Many Western countries no longer produce heavy weapons for the army, for example, Britain no longer produces tanks, after the retirement of the Challenger 2 tank, the British Army has become a light army with armored vehicles as the main body. Tanks are no longer relevant for Britain. French Lecher tank production also came to a halt.

The British and French production of tanks is very little, that tank exports this piece, South Korea can seize the British and French market, foreign full export of tanks and other heavy weapons. The British and French have given up a lot of space for South Korea to export heavy weapons.

3. South Korea hopes to become a world military power through the export of arms to create a strong influence in the world. South Korea dreams of joining NATO, but NATO presupposes its military power to be strong and subservient to U.S. command. South Korea will be able to join NATO by actively exporting tanks to Poland so that Poland will have a stronger force to fight against the Russian army.

Then in the future, South Korea can send troops to follow the U.S. military in the war and integrate the South Korean military into the NATO combat system. The rapid expansion of South Korea's military power has very many potential implications for the peninsula and for East Asia. It really worthwhile for the neighboring countries to be more alert.
