They will allow us to break through minefields. South Korea to provide Ukraine with K600 Rhino tanks
South Korea plans to provide Ukraine with two K600 Rhino (Rhino) engineer tanks designed to break through minefields.
Such vehicles are non-lethal weapons, but they can be used to break through Russian defense lines. According to the publication, the Rhino on the K1A1 chassis will help defuse mines in the rear or create a passage in a minefield at the front.
According to Chosun’s interlocutors, the decision to hand them over to Ukraine was a response to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s request to his South Korean counterpart Yun Seok-yeol to support Kyiv. These vehicles will be the most powerful military equipment ever transferred by Seoul.
The K600 Rhino is based on the South Korean K1 tank. It is equipped with a mine-clearing plow, a digging boom, and a magnetic mine disposal device that emits a magnetic field to remove landmines, allowing them to be found at a distance of up to five meters.
