K200 KIFV

Armored Vehicles

The K200 KIFV, whose name stands for Korean Infantry Fighting Vehicle, is a South Korean armored personnel carrier designed by the Agency for Defense Development under Project Toad to replace older carriers such as the M113. It was built by Hanwha Aerospace, then known as Daewoo Heavy Industries. Since 2009 it has been supplemented in South Korean service by the K21, though an estimated 2,500 K200 and K200A1 vehicles were produced in total, including 111 exported to Malaysia.
