Egypt-Korea joint manufacturing boosts howitzers
The article discusses Egypt's announcement of signing a deal to jointly manufacture the Korean howitzer system "K9A1 EGY" as part of efforts to modernize and enhance the capabilities of the Egyptian armed forces. The system has a firing range between 41 to 54 kilometers, with the ability to fire three shells within 15 seconds, and an rate of fire of 6 to 8 rounds per minute, equipped with advanced targeting systems and modern technology. The deal includes technology transfer and local manufacturing, with Egypt initially receiving the first batch from Korea, followed by subsequent phases that involve manufacturing within Egyptian factories. This approach aims to strengthen local industrial capabilities and reduce dependence on external sources. This step reflects Egypt's strategy to diversify its sources of armament and improve its firepower. Historically, artillery development has been a key part of Egypt's military heritage, especially during the October 1973 War.
