Why has the k21 IFV failed to secure any export orders? It’s comparable to the CV90 family of fighting vehicles that have sold hundreds of units, but it hasn’t managed to sell a single unit. Is the Swedish 40mm fire control system really that much better?
Because military contracts are a lot about politics. Also, it was made for Korea, and I dont even know if they have offered it in europe, wich incidentally is where all the CV90s are.

>Is the Swedish 40mm fire control system really that much better?
I just think military procurement agents really like fika, you buy korean they give you fermented cabbage and an std
It just isn’t very good. Kf21 hasn’t made any sales either
The KF21 isnt even in production yet is it?
It will most likely never reach full rate production
CV90 has sold 1280 units since developed in 1993, operators are Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland
K21 has 466 units in operation with an additional 120 units for a total of 586 units and was developed in 2009, there are several nations considering the K21 for large acquisitions to include South Korea and Australia, the Australia Land 400 is highly publicized but the South Korea acquisition could be even more significant, South Korea has over 2200+ infantry fighting vehicles but whereas Australia plans to upgrade from the 431 M113s, South Korea plans to upgrade from the 1700 M113s
Poland is evaluating the K21 and could actually get units ahead of both South Korea or Australia
Norway obviously developing close ties with SK MIC with the large agreements announced over the past few months, could eventually be a customer as the CV90 is an aging system in comparison to the latest IFVs
Also Joach Finkielman was in South Korea very recently so Denmark is obviously looking as well
Of the existing CV90 operators, a minimum of both Norway and Denmark will mothball or donate to Ukraine the CV90s and buy K21s as the upgrade
>Of the existing CV90 operators, a minimum of both Norway and Denmark will mothball or donate to Ukraine the CV90s and buy K21s as the upgrade
Why the hell would they do this when both of them had all of their CV90s uppgraded last year, and Norway bought new ones, some of wich isnt even delivered yet.
He’s coping hard. He just started a new thread about it.
Can you prove any of this. Post one single signed export agreement
>Of the existing CV90 operators, a minimum of both Norway and Denmark will mothball or donate to Ukraine the CV90s and buy K21s as the upgrade
Kek no we dont, we even have a project going to buy even more of them
Joach Finkielman was in Germany very recently so Denmark is obviously looking at lynx as well
Are rooftop Koreans cringe now? On one hand it’s cool that they dropped bodies during the LA riotins, on the other hand the nonstop shilling is annoying
Yes we are still cool
In LA we dropped hoodrats on /k we are dropping ktards no difference proverbially speaking
Are you sure this isn’t s BMP? Those thin ass tracks and doors give huge USSR vibes
Modern IFVs generally have thinner tracks to enhance mobility particularly at speed over terrain
Wider tracks especially if carrying troops are prone to suspension damage and tracks falling off due to the ground pressure relative to the mass of the vehicle
There's a reason why the K21 is considered the best IFV in the world and you are not designing anything other than a makeshift dildo
>There's a reason why the K21 is considered the best IFV in the world
Then why does nobody buy it?
> There's a reason why the K21 is considered the best IFV in the world
No one thinks that. It doesn’t even have a single export sale
