韩国陆军近年来的大手笔还真不少,除了自行研制K9自行火炮、KMH武装直升机、XK-2“下一代主战坦克”等主战兵器外,如今又忙着打造“韩国下一代步兵战车”KNIFV。2005年5月17日,韩国国防科学研究所在大宇综合机械株式会社昌原工厂为3辆“下一代步兵战车”样车举行了出库典礼。韩国国防部门的官员也到场助兴,并称KNIFV是目前世界上技术性能最优秀的步兵战车之一。据悉,该步兵战车计划在2008年开始装备部队,它将与韩国罗特姆(Rotem)公司正在开发巾的XK-2主战坦克共同构成未来韩国陆军机械化部队的中坚力量。
In addition to its own self-developed K9 self-propelled artillery, KMH helicopter gunships, XK-2 “the next generation of main battle tanks” and other main battle weapons, the South Korean Army is now busy building “the next generation of Korean infantry combat vehicles ”KNIFV. On May 17, 2005, the Korea National Defense Science Institute held a delivery ceremony for three “Next-generation Infantry Chariots” vehicles at Daewoo General Machinery Co., Ltd. Changwon Plant. Officials from South Korea’s defense ministry also attended the scene, saying KNIFV is one of the world’s most technically advanced infantry fighting vehicles. The infantry fighting vehicle is scheduled to begin operations in 2008 and will form the backbone of the future Korean Army’s mechanized unit with the XK-2 main battle tank being developed by Korea’s Rotem.
