Spain-South Korea K9 howitzer procurement

Overview

Spain has entered into an agreement with South Korean defense firm Hanwha Aerospace and Spanish company Indra Sistemas to acquire K9 155mm self-propelled howitzers and K10 ammunition resupply vehicles. This procurement is part of a broader Spanish military modernization program, budgeted at approximately €4.5 billion, intended to replace the nation’s aging M109 howitzers.

The deal involves significant industrial cooperation within Spain. Indra Sistemas will be responsible for manufacturing vehicle hulls at its facility in Gijón and integrating mission systems, battlefield management software, and communications into the platforms. The acquisition is expected to include 128 K9 tracked howitzers and 120 K10 resupply vehicles, with the possibility of adding further command-and-control or recovery vehicles based on the K9 chassis.
