🇪🇪🇰🇷 Estonia's purchase of South Korea's K239 rocket artillery system seems close. I thought Norway was expected to be the first to buy. The K239 MRLS is the third most produced modern rocket artillery system after the US HIMARS&M270. South Korea, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE operate large numbers of K239, and it's highly likely that Korean&Polish-produced (WB Group&Hanwha) ammunition will be supplied to Estonia. The K239 Chunmoo MRLS can operate missiles with a range of 500km and can also fire a variety of special-purpose missiles like L-PGW, KTSSM-II variants, and CTM-ASBM. While not everything is certain, the fact that the defense ministers of both countries met in person and signed a mou is a very positive sign. Estonia is also a user of the K9 self-propelled howitzer.

Incoming another news. Estonia is said to be purchasing the K239 long-range missile artillery system soon, as it should be. Next up is Norway. South Korea, the UAE, Poland, and Saudi Arabia currently operate this system on a large scale. It can also operate a range of missiles, from general-purpose, various special-purpose missiles, and 500km range of CTM-X ballistic missiles, which Estonia might like. The K239 is currently available version 3.0, and a system similar to HIMARS, called HPRS, has also been unveiled. Current political, logistical, and policy issues between Israel, the US, and Germany pose significant risks from procurement to actual deployment. Hanwha Aerospace's K239 and HPRS are available without any political, policy, religious, agenda, logistical, and production conflicts. A contract with Estonia is expected to be signed within a few weeks, and Estonia is said to have requested a munition & MRO factory. Estonian military officials also said they are in talks with Poland to collaborate on training and education for the K239 system. ●The video shows the Homar-K launching a CTM-290 ballistic missile and reloading the pod. ●Estonia and Norway are also users of the K9 self-propelled howitzer. ●They are also in talks with Egypt and Southeast Asian countries regarding export.

🇳🇴🇰🇷 Breaking news. The Norwegian government and a majority of parliament decided that they would purchase South Korea's K239 long-range missile system and 500km range ballistic missiles instead of the European and Israeli PULS and MARS-3. A Norwegian Conservative politician says this is one of the most powerful weapons in Norwegian history and a crucial investment in modern defense. According to the recommendations of the Norwegian Ministry of Defence, the approval of the Norwegian Cabinet, and my sources at a Norwegian defense consulting firm, the contract is worth $1.88 billion and will involve the purchase of 15 to 23 launchers. A contract is expected to be signed soon. This would make Estonia the first official buyer of the CTM-MR medium-range tactical missile, and Norway is the first official buyer of the CTM-X ballistic missile. Norway, Poland, and Estonia also operate Hanwha Aerospace's K9 self-propelled howitzer, and South Korea has been discussing this with Norway for several years. So, it was expected. ●The existence of the US HIMARS option is currently unconfirmed. ●The Norwegian K9 is named VIDAR, the son of Odin. What will the K239 be named? ●Two major defense investment projects have been confirmed for Norway. One involves purchasing two additional submarines from the previously approved submarine program, bringing the total to six, with the budget reportedly increasing from NOK 52 billion to NOK 98 billion. The other is the LLPI program, a long-range precision-guided munitions program for the army (NOK 19 billion). ●South Korea, Poland, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Estonia have purchased the K239, and it is being offered to Norway, Egypt, Latvia, and Lithuania. ●The K239 MRLS can operate a wide variety of general purposes, special purposes, medium range, and long-range missiles. K239 version 3.0 is now underway.

🇵🇱🇰🇷🚀 Congratulations to Polish and Korean friends. The joint venture between WB Group and Hanwha Aerospace has been finalized. The rocket factory will be operational in three years, leading to tech transfer and job creation. For now, they will produce CGR-080 missiles and also plan to jointly develop various missiles and sell them to Europe. The Polish Defense Minister said this event was a key event in the MSPO 2025. Poland currently possesses a significant number of Homar-K (K239) rocket launchers. Thanks to the extensive operations of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Poland, and South Korea, the K239 has become the world's most produced modern rocket launcher, second only to the US. A significant number of CTM series tactical missiles and KTSSM variants are currently in development. We anticipate sales to Norway, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Just recently, the UAE and Saudi Arabia purchased large quantities of K239 related missiles. Their popularity shows no signs of abating.

The South Korean Army has released footage of the K239 rocket artillery firing on an island. On that day, 36 CGR-080 missiles armed with high-explosive fragmentation warheads struck the island. Hearing the roar of a rocket motor is unchanging pleasure. It would be good if they showed footage of the DPICM warhead. The K239 is a rocket launcher system capable of firing short-range missiles up to 500km long-range missiles. It is currently in large-scale operation in South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Poland, and the UAE. Depending on the target and mission, the K239 can utilize a wide variety of specialized missiles and can be integrated with various military vehicles. Currently, a lightweight K239, known as the HPRS or HPMRL, and an unmanned UMRL are also under development.

🇫🇷🇰🇷 BREAKING: France is considering buying South Korea’s K239 Chunmoo multiple launch rocket systems to quickly boost its long range strike capability. With France’s current M270 launchers aging and limited, the K239 offers a modern, wheeled alternative with a wide range of munitions and fast delivery timelines. The decision comes as France develops its own FLP-T long range strike system, expected by 2030, but needs a temporary solution in the meantime. Several European countries, including Norway, Estonia, and Poland, already operate the K239.

🇵🇱🇰🇷 Poland has released a live-fire video of the Homar-K rocket artillery's CGR-080 missile for the first time. Cooperation between Poland and Korea knows no bounds. Poland also has the CTM-290 tactical ballistic missile. We expect Poland to operate the devastating CTM-MR (formerly CTM-160) and KTSSM-II missiles. It is also said that Polish rocket artillery operators are now very mature level. K239 MRLS is the world's second most-produced modern rocket artillery after the American systems. It is currently in service in large numbers by South Korea, the UAE, Poland, and Saudi Arabia. As you can see, Hanwha provides various choices for customers by using users local systems. Homar-K consists of Polish Jelcz truck and Topaz fire control system. Will Norway, Philippine, and Malaysia buy it?

Congratulations, Egypt. 🇪🇬🇰🇷 Egypt will be the first of the 10 countries that operate K9 artillery to have anti-ship capability as a coastal defense purpose. Hanwha Aerospace said it exported 51 K11 fire direction control vehicles and 216 K9A1 SPHs to Egypt, and the K11 was modified for an anti-ship mission. It appears that the K9 has unimaginable potential as I expected. It would be great if Egypt had K239 long-range rocket artillery and K9A2 or K9A3 long-range SPH. (K9 proved its anti-ship capabilities in Egypt before the contract) South Korea, Turkey, Poland, Norway, Estonia, Finland, India, Australia, Egypt, and Romania are the current K9 family users.

Israel has recently expressed interest in South Korea's hypersonic missile interception system or joint program. It seems they're referring to the GPI missile, among the GPI and HAI missiles in the L-SAM-II hypersonic high-altitude, long-range interception system. I don't dislike Israel, but with the L-SAM already completed and the L-SAM-II well underway, any joint development or data sharing seems quite late. The development of a high-altitude, long-range interceptor missile to be armed with South Korean destroyers will likely be in a similar situation. South Korea is already investing heavily in multi-layered land-based and sea-based air defense solutions. However, there appears to be room for collaboration with Israel, whether in hardware, software, or data sharing. Hmm... I doubt Hanwha Group or LIG Nex1 would necessarily collaborate with Israel to share profits with Korea, especially in the Middle East market. People may not realize this, but Hanwha Systems and LIG Nex1 are competitors. Due to the historical success of M-SAM-II in the Middle East, there's some friction between Hanwha and Nex1 due to the profit and business sector. Both Hanwha and Nex1 have overlapping businesses in advanced digital AESA radars, software, and interceptor missiles, etc.

🇳🇴🇰🇷 Norway’s parliament has approved a roughly $2 billion plan to buy long-range rocket artillery, choosing South Korea’s K239 Chunmoo system over the US-made HIMARS. The move is intended to strengthen Norway’s deterrence posture against Russia, particularly in the High North and the Arctic, where Norway shares a strategically sensitive border with Russia. The decision is seen as a major breakthrough for Hanwha Aerospace in the European defence market, and a setback for Lockheed Martin, which produces HIMARS. Industry sources cited by Yonhap News Agency said a formal contract signing is expected on Friday in Oslo, and that South Korea’s presidential chief of staff, Kang Hoon-sik, is expected to attend. Why Norway picked Chunmoo Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reported that the Chunmoo system met all of Norway’s operational requirements for ground-based long-range fires, including the ability to strike targets at ranges of up to 500 kilometres. It also reportedly offered the fastest delivery schedule among the competing options, a factor that has become increasingly important as European countries try to close capability gaps quickly. During Tuesday’s parliamentary session, Peter Frölich, defence spokesman for Norway’s Conservative Party, emphasised the importance of deep-strike capability in contemporary warfare, describing the munitions as able to reach far into enemy territory. What the deal includes The procurement covers 16 launch systems, along with an unspecified number of rockets, with a total value estimated at 19.5 billion Norwegian kroner. Under Norway’s defence procurement rules, the contract also includes an offset requirement. This means the foreign supplier must provide industrial cooperation equal to 100 percent of the contract’s value, typically through technology transfer and partnerships with Norwegian companies. Part of a wider European rearmament push The purchase comes as European countries accelerate defence investment amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and heightened concern about Russia’s military intentions. Some Norwegian lawmakers had pushed for a European missile alternative, but officials reportedly concluded that developing a new system would take too long and cost too much given the immediate security situation. Hanwha’s expanding presence in Europe The agreement further strengthens Hanwha Aerospace’s position in Northern Europe. The company has already won Nordic business, including contracts to supply K9 Vidar self-propelled howitzers to Norway signed in September 2025. Hanwha has also partnered with Poland’s WB Electronics to produce Chunmoo missiles in Poland, supporting European-based manufacturing and supply chains. Taken together, the deal highlights how quickly South Korea’s defence industry has become a serious contender in Europe, especially when speed of delivery and industrial cooperation are decisive factors.

As part of "upgrading readiness for future threats," the Defense Ministry says it successfully completed a series of "complex" tests with the David's Sling medium-range air defense system. David's Sling, produced by defense firm Rafael, is designed to intercept rockets, missiles, cruise missiles, aircraft, and UAVs. The ministry says the series of tests was based on "operational lessons" learned from the war, and included a "range of challenging scenarios in line with existing and evolving threats." "The success of the tests constitutes an additional technological and operational breakthrough in upgrading the system, which demonstrated high performance capabilities during the war with successful interceptions that saved lives and prevented significant damage," it says. David’s Sling, operational since 2017, forms the middle tier of Israel’s multi-layer air defense capabilities, which also include the short-range Iron Beam and Iron Dome, and a top-tier of Arrow systems, the latter of which are intended to engage long-range ballistic missiles.

China is urgently preparing for drone warfare and is arming itself with a MANPADS-based air defense system. The Type 625 MANPADS-based air defense system has been introduced into the Chinese army units. It is equipped with a six-barrel 25mm cannon and four missiles from MANPADS with a firing range of about 5 kilometers. Initially, the vehicle was demonstrated with eight missiles of a longer range. However, the experience of the special military operation in the East is also being studied, and for now, this version of the vehicle is being adopted by the PLA. It is possible that longer-range missiles will be added to their arsenal later. - AN

#Breaking: Soon, the armed forces of #Greece will be equipped with LORA precision-guided ballistic missiles from #Israel. These ballistic missiles will not only be used by the #HellenicAirForce, but also by Hellenic land forces across the Aegean and Mediterranean islands of Greece. Their acquisition and delivery come as a direct response to the design, development, and service entry of precision-guided ballistic missiles by the Turkish armed forces. In recent years, #Turkey has developed several precision-guided artillery rockets and ballistic missiles — with the Tayfun short- and medium-range ballistic missiles now mass-produced and operational with Turkish land forces. Tayfun poses a growing threat to #Greece and its islands, making it essential for Athens to develop equivalent or superior ballistic missile capabilities. Very soon, Hellenic land forces will field LORA and EXTRA precision-guided ballistic missiles and long-range artillery rockets on every major Greek island, ensuring credible deterrence against Turkish aggression.

Statement by the President of the Russian Federation ⚡️🇷🇺PUTIN CONFIRMS NUKE-CAPABLE BALLISTIC MISSILE STRIKE ON UKRAINE, stating it was test of state-of-the-art Oreshnik (“Hazel”) medium-range ballistic missiles, armed with non-nuclear warheads on huge Dnepropetrovsk weapons factory in #Ukraine. Russian leader states test launch is response to U.S. and UK long-range missiles targeting pre-war Russia, adding that #Washington’s warmongering expansion direct reason for Moscow’s retaliatory measure: We are developing medium- and shorter-range missiles as a response to U.S. plans to produce and deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The United States made a mistake by unilaterally destroying the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in 2019 under a far-fetched pretext. Let me remind you that Russia voluntarily, unilaterally committed itself not to deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles until American weapons of this kind appear in any region of the world. Let me repeat that we are conducting combat tests of the Oreshnik missile system in response to the aggressive actions of #NATO countries against #Russia Oreshnik missiles have top speed of Mach 10 - that’s whopping 3 km per SECOND - with Russian Prez adding that civilians will be given advance warning before Russian forces use ballistic missiles.
