Armour Vehicle Kits (280)

The development of a second tranche of FSVs began in 1972, when a requirement for further such AFVs was issued. It was decided that the new AFV would use the turret of a FV101 Scorpion fitted to the chassis of a M113A1 APC. This turret was armed with a 76 mm L23A1 gun. Buoyancy aids were also installed on the sides and front of the hull so that the vehicles remained amphibious. The prototype vehicles began to be constructed by the Ordnance Factory in Maribyrnong, Victoria, during 1974; three were completed in mid-1975. The design was approved for production in 1978, and another 45 FSVs were eventually completed by converting newly acquired M113A1s. The type was later designated the Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle (MRV). Features AFV Club's 1/35-scale model kit of the Australian Army M113A1 MRV (Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle) comes with a new barrel and mantlet Periscopes for the tank commander and loader.  Three types of coaxial guns are included, as are photo-etched parts and new decals.

The Jagdpanther was a German WWII tank destroyer. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in 1943, and serial production continued in the period 1944-1945, ending with the production of 392 cars. The Jagdpanther was powered by a 700hp Maybach HL 230 P30 single engine. It was armed with 1 88mm PaK 43 L / 71 gun and 1 7.92mm MG34 machine gun. The Jagdpanther was created in response to the demand announced in August 1942 by the German army for a new tank destroyer. In response to this demand, the cooperating plants Krupp and Daimler-Benz developed a preliminary technical specification based on the chassis of the PzKpfw V Panther tank and models that were approved by the German army. The new tank destroyer had powerful armament, capable of destroying any enemy vehicle in the period 1944-1945, as well as well-profiled armor - especially at the front of the vehicle. The disadvantages were the complicated production process and high unit costs of the vehicle, which effectively slowed down serial production. Jagdpanther made his debut on the battlefield in the summer of 1944 in Normandy, then fought against the Western Allies in France and in the Ardennes operation at the turn of 1944-1945. It appeared on the Eastern Front in the fall of 1944, successfully fighting both the T-34 and the heavy IS-2. After World War II, Jagdpanther served in the French army until the 1960s! The Jagdpanther G1 was a heavy tank destroyer adopted by the German Army in the second half of World War II. This model kit from Academy reproduces the initial production type with its characteristic armor color. The kit has a moderately reduced number of parts for ease of assembly; its unique form with its inclined armor is precisely molded for accuracy. Two types of 88mm barrels can be selected -- a one-piece type and a two-piece type. The tracks are partially split; photo-etched parts for the net to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine room are included. Decals for four versions are included, centered on the 654th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, a combatant on the Normandy Front. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes Photo-etched parts, decals for 4 versions Size 28.2cm long, 9.3cm wide when completed

The Pz.Kpfw V (SD.Kfz 171) Panther is a German medium tank, considered to be one of the best tanks of the Second World War. This vehicle was a response to the Soviet T-34. The first production versions appeared as early as 1942, but the Panthers appeared for the first time on the front lines in the summer of 1943, in the Battle of Kursk. Due to the very high failure rate and numerous "childhood" problems of the vehicle, 150 out of 204 used vehicles were lost. Interestingly, however, only a few of these 150 cars were lost as a result of the Soviet shelling. After eliminating these shortcomings, the Panther became famous as an extremely effective tank. It owed it to the well-shaped frontal armor and the excellent anti-tank gun. KwK 42 / L70 cal 75mm. The basic version of the T34 / 76 did not stand a chance with the Panther. Only the advent of the T34 / 85 and IS-2 tanks changed this state of affairs. On the other hand, the Allied Sherman tanks could compete with the Panther only after being armed with a 17-pound gun (Sherman Firefly). Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that the Achilles' heel of this successful design was the weak side armor and the high technical complexity of the entire structure, and thus the high production time. Throughout the war, around 6,000 Panther vehicles of all versions (Ausf. D, A, G) were produced. The first mass-produced version was the "D" version, with 80mm thick frontal armor and a Maybach 230 P30 engine with 700HP. From the second half of 1943, tanks of this version had armored aprons. The Panther Ausf entered production in September 1943. A. It had a spherical mount for the MG-34 rifle in the fuselage. It was produced until March 1944. The "G" version was the most produced version. Over 3,700 tanks of this model were built. It was produced from March 1944 to January 1945. It mainly increased the angle of the frontal armor and made it thicker. The gun mantlet has also been modified. The Jagdpanther tank destroyer (Sd.Kfz 179) was also built on the Panther's chassis. When assessing the Pz.Kpfw V, you should remember not only about the great frontal armor or the gun, but also pay attention to the disadvantages of the weapon - large overall dimensions, delicate suspension, armor of increasingly poor quality caused by a lack of molybdenum or weak side armor. Technical data: length (with a barrel): 8.66m, width: 3.42m, height: 2.99m, engine power: 700KM, range (on the road): 200km, maximum speed (on the road): 46km / h, weapons : 1 cannon. 75mm KwK 42 / L70, 2 7.92mm MG-34 machine guns. 1/35 scale plastic model kit of the Pz.Kpfw.V Panther Ausf.G "Last Production" version WWII German medium tank.

The K2 Black Panther is a modern 3rd generation South Korean main battle tank manufactured by Hyundai Rotem. The first prototypes of the vehicle were made in 2004, and serial production started in 2013 continues to this day. The exact number of tanks produced is unknown. Estimates are about 100 tanks of this type in the line. The K2 is powered by the 1500hp MTU MT 883 engine. The vehicle is armed with a single 120mm tank gun, 1 7.62mm machine gun and 1 12.7mm machine gun. Despite the fact that the modern K1 tank was introduced to the line in the early 1990s, the command of the South Korean army decided to develop a new tank that would complement, and eventually probably a successor to, the K1 vehicle. It was also decided to rely on the domestic arms industry as much as possible and use the help of foreign companies only as a last resort. What's more - the most advanced technology was chosen. As a result, the K2 tank has a very modern SKO (fire control system), an effective 120mm gun, very high mobility and maneuverability, and powerful armor that is a rare combination of composite and reactive armor of the ERA and NERA type. Undoubtedly, the K2 is a machine at least comparable to the western 3rd generation fronts, such as the Leopard 2 or the M1 Abrams. Contrary to them, however, like the French Leclerc, it uses an autoloader, which significantly increases the rate of fire and allowed to reduce the crew to 3 people. Due to the technological advancement, the unit cost of the K2 tank is estimated at approx. 8.5 million. dollars by 2014 prices. At the moment, K2 is not exported. The Korean main battle tank Black Panther now get a model kit from Academy! It features precise molding of the various turret sensors, the ERA on the side skirt, and more, with double-pin connection type tracks and chrome seals for various sensor units. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes Chrome seals Size Approximately 308mm long, 97mm high when completed

The M163 VADS (Vulcan Air Defense System) was an American self-propelled anti-aircraft gun from the Cold War period. The vehicle entered service in 1968. The car was powered by an engine General Motors 6V53 diesel engine with 212 hp. It was armed with a 20mm General Dynamics M168 Vulcan autocannon. Car The M163 VADS was developed as a supplement to the M48 Chapparal air defense missile system. To shorten the design work, it was decided to adapt a lot of components and elements from the structure of the M113 armored personnel carrier. By the way, the chassis designation was changed to M741. A properly adapted M61 Vulcan cannon was selected as the main armament. Despite the use of many proven and successful elements, the M163 turned out to be not a very successful weapon system. It quickly turned out that it was ineffective against modern jet aircraft. The system was at best comparable to the Soviet ZSU-23-4, although it was inferior to it in many fields and was clearly inferior to the German system Gepard. As a result, it was quickly started to be used against manpower and lightly armored vehicles. Several development versions were created in the course of production. The first was the M163A1, which used the adapted chassis of the M113A1 transporter, not the M113. The M163A2 version was created in the same way, by adapting the chassis of the M113A2 car. Finally, the M163 vehicles were withdrawn from the line in favor of the M1097 Avenger and M6 Linebacker. The M163 vehicles were exported to several countries, including Chile, Ecuador, Israel and South Korea. They also took part in some armed conflicts, mainly in the Vietnam War (1964 / 65-1975) or in the Operation Desert Storm (1990-1991). The M163 anti-aircraft self-propelled gun is used by the U.S. Army and others; Academy's model kit features a detailed interior, including the battle room and engine part, as well as the 20mm Vulcan cannon, with precise molding. Tracks can be built as either the belt type or connected assembly type; photo-etched parts are included. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The first prototypes were built in 1937-1940, and serial production in the USSR was carried out in 1940-1957. About 84,000 vehicles of this type were built in its course, which makes the T-34 one of the most produced tanks in history! The drive was provided by a single engine V-2-34 with a power of 500 hp. The length of the car - in the T34 / 76 version - was 6.68 m, with a width of 3 meters. The armament consisted of a 76.2 mm F-34 gun and two 7.62 mm DT machineguns. The main armament in the T-34/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun. The T-34 is undoubtedly one of the most famous tanks in the history of both World War II and military in general, representing a specific symbol of Soviet victory in the war with the Third Reich. The vehicle was developed for the needs of the Red Army as a successor to the so-called pursuit tanks from the BT series (BT-5 and BT-7), but also the T-26 tank. Work on the car started in 1937 in a special design office at the Steam Engine Factory in Kharkiv. Initially, the works were managed by Eng. Adolf Dik (he also made the first sketches of the new car), and after his arrest by the Soviet security authorities, Mikhail Koszkin managed the work. Initially, the vehicle was designated as A-20. However, a second prototype (A-32) was quickly built, with a main armament in the form of a 76.2 mm cannon and much thicker frontal armor. It was the latter prototype that was finally adopted for production. It can be assumed that when it was introduced into service, the TT-34 was a very successful tank in many respects. It was characterized - as in 1940 - with a very strong weapon, it had a well-profiled armor based on sloped armor plates, as well as very high mobility and off-road driving properties. The disadvantages include the very poor ergonomics of the car or the poor optics used in the first production batches. Despite these shortcomings, when the T-34 appeared on the Eastern Front, German troops were greatly surprised by it. The high overall rating of the T-34 and its combat values determined its mass production and making it the basic tank of the Red Army during the fights in 1942-1945. They also resulted in further improvements to the structure, e.g. in 1942 a new hexagonal tower appeared, improving the quality of work of crew members with the commander's cupola. The engine and gearbox were also improved. However, in 1944, the T-34/85 model was introduced into service, with a completely new three-man turret and the main armament in the form of an 85 mm cannon. The T-34 tank fought in virtually all major battles fought between the Red Army and the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front in 1941-1945: starting at the Battle of Moscow, through the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk, Operation Bagration, and the capture of Berlin. After 1945, the T-34 tank was still in service, it was also widely exported outside the USSR to countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, East Germany, Hungary and Syria. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The M1 Abrams is a modern 3rd generation American Main Battle Tank. The first prototypes of the vehicle were created in the 1970s, and serial production started in 1979 continues to this day. To date (2018), about 10500 tanks of this type have been produced. The M1 Abrams is powered by a turbo-shaft (turbine) engine Avco Lycoming AGT-1500C 1500 hp. The vehicle is armed with a 105mm M68A1 tank gun in the M1 version, and a 120mm M256 tank gun in the M1A1 and later versions. The additional armament is 1 12.7 mm machine gun and 2 7.62 mm M240 machine guns. The M1 Abrams was created in response to the demand for a new Main Battle Tank announced by US Army already in the 60s of the twentieth century. The new vehicle was to replace the Patton family tanks (M47-M48-M60) in the US Army. Initially, cooperation with German companies was initiated in the project designated as MBT-70. However, after a few years, the cooperation was terminated and further work was focused only on American companies, especially in the Chrysler Defense concern. Despite a very long process of analytical, study and experimental work lasting almost 15 years, it was introduced to the line in the early 1980s M1 Abrams It turned out to be an almost revolutionary structure and far superior to the then Soviet ones. M1 Abrams It is primarily characterized by unprecedented - before 1979 - in tanks of this class, mobility and maneuverability, thanks to the use of a powerful 1500 HP engine. Another thing is that the choice of the turbine engine turned out to be not very successful because it requires very careful maintenance and is prone to catching fire. M1 Abrams it also has very good armor, using composites and SKO (fire control system). In the M1A1 version, it was also armed with a great 120mm gun. Several versions of the tank were created in the course of serial production M1 Abrams. The first significant improvements were made to the M1A1 version, the production of which was launched in 1985 - mainly by using a much more effective 120 caliber cannon instead of the 105mm gun. In 1992, the M1A2 version entered the line, with much richer electronic equipment than previous versions and armor using depleted uranium. Then came the M1A2 SEP version with even more perfect armor. The last development versions of the Abrams tank are the M1A2 SEPv2 and M1A2 SEPv3 versions, which have advanced information exchange, battlefield control, fire control systems and improved secondary weapon control systems. The M1 Abrams tank was exported to several countries, including: Saudi Arabia, Australia, Egypt and Kuwait. Vehicles of this type took part in several operations, the most important of which were the Gulf War in 1990-1991 and the Iraq War in 2003. This is the 1/35 Scale US Army M1A2 V2 TUSK II Plastic Model Kit from Academy. Suitable for Ages 14 & Older.

The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank from the Second World War and the post-war period. The first prototypes were built in 1937-1940, and serial production in the USSR was carried out in 1940-1957. About 84,000 vehicles of this type were built in its course, which makes the T-34 one of the most produced tanks in history! The drive was provided by a single engine V-2-34 with a power of 500 hp. The length of the car - in the T34 / 76 version - was 6.68 m, with a width of 3 meters. The armament consisted of a 76.2 mm F-34 gun and two 7.62 mm DT machineguns. The main armament in the T-34/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun. This model kit from Academy brings us a Russian T-34/76 747(r) tank in German markings. Decals are included. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes Decals

Following the "Six-Day War," Israel's leader, General Israel Tal, determined that it was time for Israel to have a sufficient and sophisticated armored vehicle. Having scrapped together vehicles from discarded Shermans and Centurions, the time had arrived for Israel to build their tanks. Within nine years of development, the Merkava was born. Manned by four and powered by a Teledyne Continental AVDS-1790 V12 Diesel engine, it was equipped with a 105mm M64 L71A tank gun, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, two extra LMGs for the commander and loader. 1989 marks the introduction of Merkava Mk III, the most numerous version in service today. This model faithfully recreates the Merkava Mk.III Tank in 1/72 scale. The fully assembled model is 12.8cm long and 3.8cm wide.

British main battle tank (MBT) in service from 1983 to 2001. Armed with a 120mm L11A5 rifled gun (retro-fitted with L30A1), 7.62mm L8A2 & 7.62mm L37A2 machine guns mounted on the turret roof. Equipment included virtually impregnable Chobham composite armour for protection against threats including kinetic energy penetrators and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds. Other defensive measures included laser warning system and smoke grenade launchers. Challenger 1 performed very reliably in the Gulf War in 1991 and without loss. Mk 3 has passive armour plates and extra stowage bins for 120mm rounds. The Challenger 1 was a British Main Battle Tank from the Cold War period. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in the mid-1970s, and serial production was carried out in 1982-1990. Over 400 vehicles of this type were created in its course. The car was powered by a single 1,200hp Rolls-Royce CV-12 diesel engine. Its armament consisted of a single 120mm L11A5 rifled cannon and two 7.62mm machine guns. The Challenger 1 was developed as the British Army's new main battle tank to replace the Chieftain line. Its design, however, was based on many elements of the Shir-2, which was to be produced for Iran, but which was based on the Chieftain tank. The new tank, which received the designation Challenger 1 by the British Army, compared to its predecessor, had much better Chobham armor, which protected it very well against e.g. HEAT shells. It also received a new engine with more power, as well as other electronic equipment. However, the car was not free from problems - above all, compared to such tanks as Leopard 2 or M1 Abrams, it had very poor performance and maneuverability. Its main armament was also inferior to 120mm smoothbore guns. Bearing in mind all these shortcomings, the vehicle manufacturer - Vickers Defense Systems - decided to improve it and create the Challenger 2 tank. It is worth adding, however, that despite the shortcomings, the Challenger 1 tanks performed very well during the First Gulf War (1990-1991). Vehicles of this type remained in the line of the British Army until 2001. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Includes 3 choice of markings: Riyal Scots Dragoon Guards, Kuwait 1991 Queen's Royal Irish Hussars, Tank Museum, Bovington Queen's Royal Dragoon Guards, Bosnia 1996

The Pz.Kpfw VI (Sd.Kfz.181) Tiger is a German heavy tank from World War II, one of the most famous combat vehicles of that time. The German Panzerwaffe command had been carrying around the idea of a heavy tank since the beginning of the war, but the first attempts in the form of the Neubaufahrzeuge multi-tank were unsuccessful. In 1939 and 1940 they were conducted ineffectively, but after the clash with the T-34 and KW-1 on the eastern front, work on the new heavy tank sped up. On April 20, 1942, the prototype of the new tank, under the designation VK 4501 (H), underwent field trials in the presence of Adolf Hitler and was put into mass production shortly after. The first production versions were designated Pz.Kpfw VI Ausf.H1 (later Ausf.E). In the course of production, in the years 1942-1945, the tank was systematically modified by, for example, adding Feifell dust filters, different placement of headlights, modernization of optical equipment, changes to the commander's turret, etc. The drive was provided by a Maybach HL230 P45 12-cylinder carburetor engine with a capacity of 700 HP. The Pz.Kpfw VI tank, although it did not have such a contoured front hull as the T-34 or Pantera, was a heavily armored vehicle (frontal armor up to 120mm), armed with a very effective KwK 36 L / 56 88mm gun, which earned the reputation of being the most effective tank of the Second World War. It was a vehicle much better than the Allied M4 or Churchill and the Soviet T-34/76. He could also easily fight the IS-2 or M-26, surpassing them with the effectiveness of the main armament. On the other hand, the Pz.Kpfw VI had some disadvantages - first of all, it was extremely time-consuming to produce and had a very complicated suspension. In the later period of the war, the quality of the Tiger's armor also deteriorated, which resulted from the lack of access to the molybdenum deposits by the German economy. Despite these drawbacks, the Tiger on the battlefields proved to be a very effective weapon. He successfully fought in Tunisia, the Kursk Arch, Normandy and on the Eastern Front. Technical data: length (with a barrel): 8.45m, width: 3.7m, height: 2.93m, engine power: 700KM, weight: 56.9 t, range (on the road): 100km, maximum speed (on the road) ): 38 km / h, armament: 1 88 mm KwK 36 L / 56 gun, 3 7.92 mm MG 34 machine guns. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The first prototypes were built in 1937-1940, and serial production in the USSR was carried out in 1940-1957. About 84,000 vehicles of this type were built in its course, which makes the T-34 one of the most produced tanks in history! The drive was provided by a single engine V-2-34 with a power of 500 hp. The length of the car - in the T34 / 76 version - was 6.68 m, with a width of 3 meters. The armament consisted of a 76.2 mm F-34 gun and two 7.62 mm DT machineguns. The main armament in the T-34/85 version was the 85mm ZIS-S-53 gun. Academy brings us a 1/72-scale model kit of the T-34/85, which became the Soviet main battle tank in the latter half o World War II! The kit precisely expresses the tank's form with a modest number of parts; decals for three Soviet Army versions are included. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit. Features Size: 11.3cm long, 4.1cm wide when completed Includes: Decals for 3 versions

The Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) is an eight-wheel drive, diesel-powered, 10-short-ton (9,100 kg) tactical truck. The M977 HEMTT first entered service in 1982 with the United States Army as a replacement for the M520 Goer, and since that date has remained in production for the U.S. Army and other nations. By Q2 2021, around 35,800 HEMTTs in various configurations had been produced by Oshkosh Defense through new-build contracts and around 14,000 of these had been re-manufactured. Current variants have the A4 suffix. The 10×10 Logistic Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) is the United States Marines Corps' (USMC) equivalent to the U.S. Army's 8×8 HEMTT and 10×10 Palletized Load System (PLS). The USMC does not use the HEMTT or PLS, and the Army does not use the LVSR, but both services use a common trailer (M1076) with all three truck types.

The M26 Dragon Wagon is an American military armored heavy truck from the Second World War. The first cars of this type entered service in 1941/1942 and remained in service until the 1950s. The vehicle was powered by a single engine Hall-Scott 440 with a power of 240 hp. The maximum speed was up to 45 km / h. The armament of the car consisted of a single 12.7 mm machine gun. The M26 Dragon Wagon was developed for the needs of the US Army, which, along with the development of its own armored component, realized that it needed new trucks to transport damaged tanks or to transport them faster by road. Moreover, the new tractor unit was also to have a slightly armored driver's cab. The new car was to complement the M19 line, which entered service in 1940. The M26, compared to the M19, had a clearly more powerful engine, an armored driver's cabin, and was also able to carry much heavier loads. The M26 Dragon Wagon vehicles were used primarily in North-Western Europe in 1944-1945. They were replaced in line by the M123 cars, starting in 1955. During WWII, when the allies needed to haul something big and heavy, like tanks and other armored vehicles, they used the mighty Dragon Wagon to do the job. Rated to haul vehicles up to 40 tons, the M26 could carry almost any vehicle on its trailer. Academy's kit of the M26 Dragon Wagon with M25 tractor and M15 trailer is packed with fine detail and features superb molding throughout. The cab interior and complex suspension systems are fully detailed, and the cab's doors and armored visors can be positioned opened or closed. Includes accessories and decals for three versions. Curiously, all three versions (all US Army vehicles) are identified as operating in 1994...a bit of a typo, perhaps? Or did these stalwart beasts of burden actually soldier on in US Army service for more than 50 years? This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

Ford GPA Seep (Jeep GPA) is an amphibious version of the ubiquitous Jeep, also produced by the Ford concern. It was powered by a 4-cylinder 60HP engine. Vehicles of this type were too heavy and difficult to control during maneuvers on the water, and as a result, they were not popular. These vehicles were introduced to the equipment of US troops because of the rivers crossing areas of Italy and northwest Europe. Production began in 1941 and by 1943 about 12,800 vehicles had been built. The Ford GPA was used in combat during the landing in Sicily, during the Italian campaign (1943-1945), during the Normandy landing and during Operation Market-Garden in September 1944. He also served during the fighting in the Benelux countries and in the crossing of the Rhine in 1945. It was also delivered to the USSR, where it served under the designation GAZ46 MAV. Specifications: length: 462 cm, width: 163 cm, height: 175 cm, weight: 1.1 t, engine power: 60 HP. The M2-M3-M5 Half-Track is a family of American half-track armored personnel carriers from the Second World War. The first prototypes of this family's vehicles were made in 1938, and serial production continued in the years 1941-1944, ending with the production of tens of thousands of vehicles of this type! The M2-M3-M5 Half-Track family of vehicles was either powered by the engine White 160AX with 147 HP or IHC RED-450-B engine with 142 HP. The armament of the vehicles was very different and dependent on the version, but most often consisted of two machine guns: Browning M2HB cal. 12.7 mm and Browning M1919 cal. 7.62 mm.

Term 2 , 5 -ton, 6x6 truck (colloquially: deuce and a half) refers to the entire family of medium trucks used by the US armed forces during World War II, but also on a large scale during the Cold War. This family of trucks was designed and produced in the early 1940s for the US Army as a basic 5,000 lb. (2.5 'short' or 2.3 metric) heavy duty truck. terrain and in all weather conditions. From the very beginning it was assumed that these types of cars would be simple in design and that their production would be mass production. During World War II, a total of over 700,000 trucks of this type were created, especially by GMC (CCKW model) and Studebaker. Many of these vehicles found their way to the USSR under the Lend-and-Lease program. The families of these trucks played a gigantic role in the logistics and transport of Allied and Soviet troops during World War II. After 1945, the M35 series trucks were introduced into service, which is also often included in the family 2 , 5 -ton, 6x6 truck. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The K9 Thunder is a modern South Korean tracked self-propelled gun. The first prototypes of this vehicle were made in 1996, and in 1999 serial production began, which continues to this day. The vehicle is powered by the MTU MT 881 Ka-500 engine 1000 hp . It is armed with a 155mm L52 cannon and a single 12.7mm K6 HMG machine gun. The first works on the K9 Thunder artillery system began in 1989 at Samsung Techwin (now: Hanwha Techwin). The first K9s entered the South Korean army line in 1999. Vehicles of this type are characterized by high off-road mobility, have hydropneumatic suspension and a very good power-weight ratio of the vehicle. They are protected by armor made of steel sheets, which protects them against small-caliber firearms with a caliber of up to 14.5 mm and against artillery fragments. The K9 vehicle also has increased survivability in the event of a detonation of an anti-personnel or anti-tank mine. The maximum range of the K9 Thunder's main armament reaches 30,000 meters when firing an ordinary high-explosive shell and exceeds 50,000 meters when firing the K315 shell. The K9 is also able to fire in the MRSI mode, i.e. it fires a volley of 3 missiles at intervals of 5 seconds at different angles of the barrel lift, in such a way that all 3 missiles hit the target simultaneously. The K9 vehicles were sold to Turkey, where - after modernization - they serve as the T-155 Firtina. The chassis of the K9 Thunder has also become the basis for the Polish Krab howitzer and is licensed at Huta Stalowa Wola. This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
