This information is combined with the possible acquisition by Bucharest of more weapons from South Korea. [It has so far been reported that the contract for K9 artillery systems, which, according to the aforementioned DefenseRomania portal, was to win the tender procedure](https://defence24.pl/silent-arms/Romania-chosen-koreanska-artilleries). In addition to this, however, it has been connected for months**Romania with the acquisition for its army, among others, of South Korean K2 Black Panther tanks, multi-guided K239 Chunmoo rocket launchers, or combat infantry vehicles K21 or AS-21 Redback.** The signed agreement on the possible engagement of the Romanian arms manufacture in service and production work, including K9 Thunder by K239 thus increases their chances in the race for Romanian orders. The ceremony was attended by, among others, the Romanian Minister of Economy Florin Spătari, representatives of the home arms company, president and CEO of Hanwha AerospaceJae-il boy and Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Romania Rim Kap-Soo.
