 A memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Polish government will be signed as early as the 27th for at least KRW 19 trillion in export contracts in the defense industry.

In line with this, Poland decided to purchase an additional 400 by 2030 in addition to 180 domestic tank K2 produced by Hyundai Rotem by 2024.

48 domestic light aircraft FA50s to be exported by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) will be exported for 3.4 trillion won. In order to finalize the contract, KAI has decided to urgently renovate eight of the TA50 20 light air shock machines to be delivered to the Korean Air Force within this year and deploy them early by the end of this year.

Hanwha Defense's red-back armored vehicles will also export about 670 units to 4 trillion won to 5 trillion won, with the exports of at least 19 trillion won by the three defense companies.

As Ukraine, which faces the border, is invaded by Russia, the actual contract is expected to take place soon as Poland, which strengthens its arms, is speeding up its purchase of low-priced and high-performance Korean weapons.

Hyundai Rotem's domestic tank K2 is expected to be sold for 180 units with the aim of delivering them by 2024. In addition, K2 exports are expected to surge as the Polish Ministry of National Defense has expressed its intention to purchase an additional 400 units by 2030.

At Poland's active request, the Ministry of National Defense reportedly ordered Hyundai Rotem to convert its existing domestic delivery production line into Polish exports.

Hyundai Rotem is also reorganizing its production line and schedule for K2 exports to Poland. The amount of exports to K2 180 alone is expected to easily exceed 3 trillion won, and the amount of additional purchases of 400 units is also estimated to be more than 8 trillion won.
