The state arms procurement agency launched a related project, worth some 22 billion won (US $20.1 million), in December 2011 in cooperation with Doosan DST Co., a local defense equipment manufacturer. Tests showed that the new vehicle is suitable for combat, Kim said at a press briefing. Meanwhile, the Navy's cutting-edge Incheon-class frigate set sail toward Singapore on Monday, May 11, to join the International Maritime Defense Exhibition and Conference, according to the ministry spokesman. New Korean vehicle is based on a Korean K200 KIFV armored tracked platform. |
