Engine faults leave some of Poland’s K2 tanks in repair

About 30 Polish K2 tanks are reportedly undergoing repairs for assorted faults, including engine problems, among more than 200 South Korean-built vehicles delivered to the army, according to Radio ZET. Many affected tanks are reportedly at Braniewo, while Poland’s Defense Ministry declined to confirm the reported total and maintained that reliability remains within expected standards. Hyundai Rotem’s K2GF uses a 1,500-horsepower Korean engine and a Renk transmission; warranty repairs are handled with the manufacturer, with local support capacity still expanding. Polish officials say the defects do not materially prevent equipped units from carrying out their missions.
