Egypt's New Artillery from South Korea Is a Warning to Israel
(National Interest) Brandon J. Weichert - Egypt is currently undertaking a rapid military expansion and modernization program - one that mirrors several countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey. In December, the Egyptian Armed Forces publicly displayed a complete K9 artillery battery for the first time, including six 155mm self-propelled howitzers. South Korea has partnered with Egypt under a technology transfer plan to provide hundreds of K9s and support systems, to be assembled in Egypt. The deal between Egypt and South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace is worth $1.7 billion.
