    They also make this thing, which would be GREAT in the Ukrainian theatre, seeing as it’s only a few tons heavier than a T-90, but chock full of essentially current NATO-spec equipment. Also, Poland signed a deal for an absolute SHITLOAD of them (~1000 iirc - yes, a thousand), with local production options, so this would not only be an incredible way to get actual battlefield testing done with them, but also give the Korean arms industry a major cred boost. Not to mention, I would be unsurprised if Ukraine eventually figures out a joint production deal with South Korea, especially if the tanks perform well.

        Nobody is airlifting a tank when introducing it to the army. They will ship it to Europe and then move it through Poland, just like everything else.
