The first K21 program will continue until 2016, when 900 K21 will have been deployed. they will become the new mainstay of Korea's mechanized divisions.


From 2016 the Army will proceed with wheeled IFV acquisitions.




The first two models are developed by Hyundai Rotem. The second model is a 105mm variant of Black Fox, from Doosan DST. The 105mm Black Fox has been exported to Indonesia.

thx ambassador for the info and the link,but are you sure the black fox is 105mm?looks more like 90mm.

Yes it's the 90mm turret actually. It also appears that the IFV sold Indonesia, speculated to be rearmed with a 105mm turret, is K21 instead of Black Fox previously announced.

Black Fox also has a version fitted with the K21 turret. Now this is somewhat confusing, whether Indonesia is buying K21 with 105mm or Black Fox with K21-based 40mm. We'll know the answer in a few years when they are being delivered.

South Korea's Doosan Defense Products is marketing its 8x8 Black Fox in the infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) configuration fitted with the turret from the tracked K21 IFV.

The two-person turret is armed with a 40 mm cannon and 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun (MG). When fitted to the K21 IFV it has a bank of two anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) mounted on the left side of the turret. The advanced computerised fire-control system (FCS) includes stabilised day/night sights for commander and gunner.
