Poland Secures Second Batch of K2 Tanks from Hyundai Rotem
Poland has finalized discussions with Hyundai Rotem to acquire a second set of K2 tanks. While the contract specifics will be announced later, initial reports suggest it's valued at $6.5 billion. This deal not only strengthens Poland's military but also establishes a production facility in the country.

In a significant move to enhance its military capabilities, Poland has successfully concluded negotiations with South Korea's Hyundai Rotem for a second batch of K2 tanks. A contract is expected to be signed soon, according to South Korea's defense procurement agency.
The agency has withheld the specifics of the contract, promising to reveal more details later. Meanwhile, a filing by Hyundai Rotem confirmed that Poland's arms procurement agency has validated the deal at a staggering $6.5 billion, with further details to follow in subsequent announcements.
Reportedly, the agreement involves supplying 180 tanks, similar to a deal made in 2022 for an initial batch. Unlike the first contract, which focused on rapid delivery amid regional security tensions, this deal marks a more strategic partnership. A production facility will be established in Poland for assembling the tanks in collaboration with local defense firms, securing Hyundai Rotem's position in Europe.
