K-Defense’s Power Expands from Eastern Europe to the Middle East
Hanwha strengthens response to the Saudi Arabian Market
KAI partners with America’s Lockheed Martin
K-defense companies are expanding globally, focusing on the Middle East. While demand for rearmament in Europe has been structured due to the protracted war between Russia and Ukraine, the trend of targeting the Middle East, Central and South America, the United States, and Western Europe is in full swing based on references verified in Eastern Europe.

According to the defense industry, Hanwha Aerospace, which has been continuously supplying Poland with its ‘bestseller’ K9, a self-propelled gun, and Cheonmu, a multiple-launch rocket, is also stepping up its sales activities in the Middle East. In particular, it is reported that the company is strengthening its market response by examining the cooperation possibilities focusing on Saudi Arabia.
Hanwha Aerospace is known to be seeking business opportunities focusing on the possibility of package-type cooperation including local production and maintenance infrastructure.
Hyundai Rotem is pursuing expansion of its K2 tank exports to emerging markets in the Middle East and Central and South America, while expanding into new European markets with Poland as its European production hub. Hyundai Rotem delivered all 180 K2 tank (K2 GF) to the Polish Armaments Agency last November, completing a massive supply without delays in about three and a quarter years.
In the first half of this year, the company is focusing on signing an implementation contract with the Peruvian Army Armory for the supply of K2 tanks and K808 wheeled armored vehicles.
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is strengthening joint marketing with Lockheed Martin to obtain orders for the U.S. Navy’s Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS). It is also conducting export marketing for FA-50, targeting Southeast Asia, Europe, Central and South America, North America and Africa. LIG Nex1 maintains a multi-regional strategy encompassing the Middle East, the United States, Southeast Asia and Europe, and seeks export opportunities with integrated solutions based on air defense and guided weapons.
