What this organisation is
Hanwha Aerospace builds the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer, which Poland, Finland, Norway and Estonia operate and Romania has contracted. On the flank its record mixes kinds that must be kept apart: deliveries to Poland documented from December 2022 under the first executive contract of 26 August 2022; a Finnish follow-on contract of April 2026 with deliveries announced from 2028; and a plant in Romania whose construction began in 2026, which is an announcement until the company or the ministry states that it produces.
The producer behind the flank's most widely bought artillery system, and so the industrial counterpart of the module's ammunition-supply reading: the guns arrive faster than the European shell and propellant lines that must feed them.

What it produces

Що залишається невідомим
- No delivered quantity to any flank army is carried beyond the first Polish deliveries; the cumulative totals the ministries publish were not read for this pass.
- The company's Polish missile-artillery business (the K239 launcher) has no equipment record in this module and is not represented here.
