  1. South Korean defense industry in many ways is even more advanced than India, and their quick construction and delivery is literally a life saver

  2. Hope we’re getting some K2 Black Panthers. But I hear there is a long wait for those tanks, as there is a high demand.

  3. Wild guess here.

    We definitely are not getting any military jets, maybe the self propelled artillery, but we just bought 2 types of self-propelled artillery, without counting the Russian ones.

    We still haven’t done the deal for Mistrals. Which means that we still need short-range surface to air missile systems (Or SHORAD’s).

    We might be interested in buying the new anti-UAS system to counter small drones. Azerbaijan has already purchased some from Turkey to counter our Mavick drones.

    The K-SAM they have is based on the French Thales version, so might be that. Or the old K-30.

    I don’t think we’re buying the KM-SAM’s that were bought by the UAE or Saudi Arabia, since the price point is insane. We also tested the Akash system and don’t think we need anything else.

    Since we are also not buying Mistral’s. That means the Armenian army also lacks MANPAD Systems.

    Another likely purchase would be long ranged missile systems.

    While we did buy the Pinaka, we know that the range of the system is not going to be more than 45 KM since we bought the enhanced. And although just recently India revealed its new long range Pinaka missiles.

    I think that there’s a decent shot of us buying the Korean Chunmoo. As they have been trying to extend the range from its “normal 40-80km” range to 200km (ish) range.

    Armenia was looking to buy long range missile systems from India, but denied reports that we did buy them.

    Korea was present during the expos that our MoD went to in UAE. So he definitely saw what they were selling.

    Basically one of the following, either IFV’s, EW systems, SHORAD systems, long range missiles, or armored vehicles (Since we still don’t know if we bought the French VAB’s or not, some reports and rumors said that we were in talks to buy the VAB MK3 but if we didn’t k808 is a good bet, Peru bought them 30 for 60 million$). I don’t know if the KOreans have a good Drone LIG has a few, but who knows.
