@Manta are you sure about that? "In 2022 Poland made a deal to acquire 980 K2 tanks. First K2 tanks were delivered to Poland during the same year. Currently the K2 is one of the most advanced main battle tank in the world, outclassing anything North Korea or China have. Furthermore it is the most expensive main battle tank to date, overtaking the Japanese Type 90 MBT. This tank uses both modular composite armor of undisclosed type and Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA) blocks. It is claimed that front armor withstands direct hits from 120 mm tank rounds, fired from L55 guns.The Black Panther tank is also completed with an active protection system & countermeasures system. The tank is also completed with an NBC protection system. Protection of the K2 is broadly similar to the M1A2 Abrams MBT considering that the K2 is significantly lighter. It is claimed that the K2 is superior to the M1A2 Abrams. The Black Panther is armed with a CN08 120 mm/L55 smoothbore gun. This gun is a German Rheinmetall gun, that is license-produced in South Korea. The K2 is completed with an automatic loader, which is similar to that used on the French Leclerc main battle tank. It is mounted in the turret bustle with blow-out pannels. It can automatically identify, select and load required type of ammunition by using revolving mechanisms. Maximum rate of fire is 15 rounds per minute. Though in real combat conditions rate of fire is significantly lower. A total of 16 rounds are stored in the autoloader. Remaining 24 rounds are stored inside the hull. The 120 mm gun can fire variety of munitions. It is compatible with all standard NATO tank rounds." - Military Today
