India-China War: South Korea Offers Its K21-105 Light Tanks To Indian Army For Mountain Warfare
May 12, 2021
As the India-China disengagement process is yet to be completed and the threat of war still looms large, South Korean firm Hanwha Defense has offered its K21-105 to the Indian Army, with lucrative partnership options including indigenous production, according to reports.
During the standoff with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army in Ladakh last year, the Indian Army had deployed its vast armored fleet in the region comprising T-90 and T-72 CIA (Combat Improved Ajeya) tanks.
These heavy tanks had to be airlifted to the forward locations by Indian Air Force aircraft. In contrast, the PLA mobilized its Type 15/ VT-5 light tanks in the area, which provided better mobility and maneuverability in the complex terrain.
