Philippines gets 130mm K-136 artillery: WH with 16,000 steel balls
The Philippines will receive a donation of 22 K-136 Kooryong rocket artillery systems from South Korea. The Philippine News Agency says the delivery will take place in July this year, and the rocket artillery systems will be included in the inventory of the Philippine Army and the Philippine Marines.
As 22 K-136 artillery pieces are a donation, their value will not be paid by the Government of the Philippines. However, Manila will pay the cost of transport from South Korea to the Philippines. This donation has been known for at least three years [2019], but only in recent days, the delivery date has been clarified.
K-136 Kooryong is a South Korean product and is used only in the army of the Asian country. According to publicly available information from this model rocket systems have produced a total of 150 units. According to the Philippine plan, K-136 Kooryong became part of a newly formed artillery battalion of the Philippine Armed Forces.
