It is K-1, one of the newest tank in the ROK force.

It has 105mm gun and is believed to have laminated composite armor.

For more information:

People believe it is miniature of M-1 but it is just the outer look since GD (which is the manufacturer of M-1) designed K-1.

It is believed that most parts of K-1 (except the main gun which is from Germany) are coming from Korea its own.

Also, K-1A1 came out recently with 120mm maingun, better vision capability, and better armor.

THe K1A1 is a great tank, I can tell that. Too bad that it had came out just right after I was discharged. If you take a North Korean T-62 for a Sherman, then the K1A1 would undoubtedly be the King Tiger. It's just too bad that our defense budget is always short, so that there aren't enough K1A1s too go around(we still have M48KA5s....old **** but still working), so that the ROK military is trying to overcome the shortages by putting 120mms on K1 tanks.

I still can't figure out whether the Type 90(JSDF issue) is better than K1A1. I guess I'd have to work that out.....
