⚙ Poland are due to receive the first 24 K9A1's from Korea. Great news for Poland and NATO!
But this isn't the rapid/advanced Artillery program being promoted and it's nothing like the K9A2 being offered to the UK, which is a red flag for the UK.

⚠ DISCLAIMER: I have no horse in this race other than wishing the best for the British Army. Neither I, nor my family, benefit from MPF, the manufacturers of any MPF entrants, the Army, or any of their partners.
Poland signed a "framework agreement" with Korea to build 672 K9PL locally. These are based on the latest K9A2 howitzers and should develop local industrially.
This is great, I hope Poland get there. Really do.
But this is *not* what Poland are receiving.

(1/n) A short thread on the latest K9 offering, which is a nice example of what a high end tracked howitzer can look like.

(2/n) A pocket history. There are 11 main variants of K9 (not all shown on this image) which started with the 🇰🇷 K9 in 1999, and follow two broad lineages. The more advanced examples that are being marketed follow the line of 🇰🇷 K9A1, 🇳🇴 VIDAR, 🇦🇺 AS21 and now the K9A2.
(3/n) 🇪🇬 K9A1 EGY also derives from baseline K9A1 but wasnt around when chart was made. The other lineage is also receiving upgrades and enhancements and the 2 lines are parallel rather than superior/inferior, the second lineage includes the 🇫🇮 Moukari, 🇪🇪 K9 EST, and 🇮🇳 Vajra.

Every day until February 22nd, we're telling another story of
an innovator who changed the Army.
Today's innovator: Lieutenant Edwin Sibert.
#ArtilleryTwitter knows that name.
Who is Edwin and what did he do? Let's go back 90 years.

As you know, WWI introduced a key innovation of modern industrialized warfare:indirect firepower.
Artillery during the Great War had a limited ability to influence ground maneuver, largely due to archaic communication b/w guns and between the guns and the infantry.
