South Korea's Growing Defence Sector
For the average European, South Korea is better known for its entertainment and technology industries than for its defence sector.
However, this perception is about to change as Seoul's government is set to expand its defence industry, with a focus on exporting tanks and howitzers to European countries.

- In 2022, South Korea signed a major weapons deal with Poland, including K2 tanks, K9 howitzers, and FA-50 jets.
- Between 2020 and 2024, Seoul rose into the top 10 of global arms exporters.
