There is a certain irony in KNDS presenting a tracked version of their wheeled RCH howitzer at AUSA, with Hanwha in turn presenting a wheeled version of their tracked K9A2 at the same event. It's almost like depending on your requirements wheels and tracks both have their benefits 🙃

諸国で採用が相次ぐ好循環で進化。「K9A2」は発射速度が9発／分に向上、乗員3名化。「A3」は有人車1両+無人車4両でチーム運用。

米陸軍がM109A7更新用の自走砲探しを開始、K9A2がやや有利か

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.

미군 차기 자주포가 엎어졌다고 하는데, 그렇다 해도 K-9 면허생산으로 갈 가능성은 없긴 할겁니다. 미군넘들의 장비빨 지상주의를 감안해도 원설계가 20년 묵은 장비를 산다는건 너무 존심상하는 부분이 있긴 한데...

저걸 사면 지금 가지고 있는 M109 차대를 다 갈아엎어야 하는 문제가 따라올거라, 아마 그냥 M109A8로 52구경장포를 올리는 정도로 땜질하고 넘어가지 않을까 생각.

한국이 지금 K9A2나 차세대 자주포를 하고 있는데, 이걸 받는거라면 좀 생각해보고 있을거 같긴 한.

They also brought along a K9A2, but neither Nordic operators have any plan on procuring or upgrading to this configuration AFAIK.
