The 16th Mechanized Division of Pomerania received 18 additional K2GF tanks, landed in the port of Gdansk between August 11 and 12, 2025.
The delivery is part of the contract signed in 2022 with South Korea, which provided for the acquisition of 180 units of this model. With this shipment, Poland already has 151 operating tanks, leaving only 29 to complete the first agreed lot.

The K2GF – an adapted variant of the K2 Black Panther South Korean – incorporates modifications requested by the Polish army, including communication systems compatible with NATO standards, improvements in shooting control and adjustments to operate in rigorous climatic conditions of central and eastern Europe.
Considered one of the most advanced tanks in the world, the K2GF combines high mobility, compound armor and fire power with a 120 mm cannon, offering versatile combat capacity in different tactical scenarios.
The rhythm of deliveries made by South Korea contrasts with the slowest deadlines of other suppliers, such as Germany, which reinforces Warsaw’s confidence in the bilateral association. In addition, recent statements about the possibility of manufacturing tanks in Polish territory reinforce the perspective of a long -term strategic cooperation, which could benefit both the Polish and South Korean defense industry.
