The K9 Self-Propelled Howitzer (English: K9 Self-Propelled Howitzer) is a tracked self-propelled howitzer developed by Samsung Shipbuilding and Heavy Industries of South Korea.
The K9 self-propelled howitzer has been developed since 1989, manufactured in 1994, and a self-propelled howitzer that officially entered service in 1998. South Korea is the second country in the world and the first in Asia to be equipped with a 52-caliber 155mm self-propelled howitzer.
The K9 self-propelled howitzer is equipped with a 155mm howitzer of 52 times the caliber developed by South Korea. The maximum range and response capability have reached the standard of advanced self-propelled howitzers. Its comprehensive firepower performance is three times that of the M109A2 self-propelled howitzer. The K9 self-propelled howitzer adopts a newly developed chassis and is equipped with an MT881Ka-500 735 kW eight-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine and an X1100-5A3 automatic transmission device produced by German MTU Company. It has quite good maneuverability, and the maximum road speed reaches 67 km/h. The total combat weight is 47 tons, and the maximum range is 42 kilometers when launching extended-range bottom platoons.
