A tweet published by Jedras Graff, Chief Editor of Defence 24 Polish Defence magazine, on June 15, 2023, reveals that the K2 main battle tanks, MBTs, manufactured by the Polish Korean Consortium of Hyundai Rotem, PGZ, and WZM POTNAN, will be produced in Poland for both domestic use and exploitation. This news was shared by John Moecio, the Vice President of Hyundai Rotem Company, during an interview with Defence 24 magazine. In July 2022, a framework agreement was established with Hyundai Rotem to procure a total of 1000 K2 main battle tanks. This contract also included the Polonized K2PL version, along with additional support vehicles, infrastructure, and various Polish-designed components. The package was complemented with a training and logistics bundle, ammunition supply, and technical assistance from the manufacturer. A pivotal step in the development of the K, two PL tanks for the Polish military was reported on April 2, 2023, by the Army Recognition Editorial team. This significant milestone saw the creation of a joint venture between the Polish Armament Group, PGZ, Member, Military Industrial Automotive, WZM, and South Korea's Hyundai Rotem Company. This collaboration aims to furnish the Polish military with K2 MBTs and corresponding equipment. The Polish Ministry of National Defence entered a contractual agreement with Hyundai Rotem, a South Korean Defence Company, in August 2022. This contract obliges Hyundai Rotem to deliver 250 K2 MBTs to Poland in the forthcoming years. By December 2022, the first consignment of 10 K2 MBTs had already arrived in Poland. The K2PL, an improved variant of the South Korean K2 Black Panther, is tailored to meet the specific needs and requirements of the Polish Armed Forces. Its design boasts a new armor package mounted around the turret and hull sides. The turret roof is also equipped with a remotely operated weapon station armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun. The K2PL's main armament consists of one German made-ring metal 120 mm L-55 smoothball gun, produced under license in South Korea. It features an automatic loader with 16 redditifier rounds and storage for 24 additional rounds inside the hull. To further fortify the K2PL tank against RPG threats, a Y-A-K JAMA is installed on the hull's rear side. The tank also possesses an active protection system, APS, to deter anti-tank guided missiles, albeit it is not designed to counter high velocity, high explosive, or kinetic energy tank-fired munitions.
