Why Korean Army Artillery is the Best in the World
The 155mm K9 Thunder is combat proven against North Korea. Today it’s an extremely successful vehicle; with over 1,700 have been produced. Each one costs about $2.9 million dollars per unit so you could almost trade one in for the cost of a single home in America. The K9 has many of the capabilities that originally were supposed to be in the United States prototype XM2001 Crusader. But that $11 billion dollar program was canceled.
With its new fire control system it offers an insanely high rate of fire at 10 rounds per minute; That’s 4 rounds per minute faster than the old technology. So this is what you call in when you need an entire mountain removed from the face of the earth.
