In 1995, the South Korean Agency for Defence Development was given the task of developing a modern armoured fighting vehicle based upon state-of-the-art domestic technologies. The objective of this development program was to further modernise the South Korean army, despite the superior capability of existing K1 and K1A1. So along came the K2 Black Panther which is, according to the Guinness World Records organisation, the most expensive tank in the world at $8.5 million dollars. This is for a good reason though, the K2 has a number of features that makes it incredibly capable and quite deadly on the battlefield. In this video we are going to take a closer look at it’s features and why it costs quite so much.
