All Korean tanks to be deployed in north-eastern Poland says MoD

All 180 K2 tanks that Poland has purchased from South Korea will be deployed in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with the Russian Kaliningrad enclave, the defence minister has said.

On Tuesday, Poland received the first consignment of ten K2 tanks and 24 K9 self-propelled howitzers.

Mariusz Blaszczak told a local radio station on Saturday that ultimately all the tanks would be shipped to military units in Morag, Braniewo and Ostroda.
