Den K1 is a South Korean main battle tank in use with the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, developed by Hyundai Precision (later Hyundai Rotem). The vehicle’s early design work was based on General Dynamics’ M1 Abrams, with some noticeable differences including a combined system of hydropneumatic suspension and torsion bars, and a river-crossing fording kit, to meet the required operational capability that was specific to combat operations in the mountainous and swampy terrain of the Korean Peninsula. The K1A1 entered service in 1999, upgraded with a 120 mm smoothbore gun, and outfitted with more modern electronics, ballistic computers, and fire control systems developed by Samsung Electronics. Hyundai Rotem produced 1,511 K1 and K1A1 tanks between 1985 and 2010.

The K1 88-Tank is a main battle tank of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces, developed by Hyundai Rotem in collaboration with General Dynamics Land Systems. The K1 88-Tank is based on the design of the M1 Abrams, but incorporates some features from the M60A3, such as the 105 mm rifled gun and the fire control system. The K1 88-Tank has a composite armor that provides protection against kinetic energy and chemical energy threats.
The K1 88-Tank can operate in various terrain conditions, thanks to its hydropneumatic suspension system that allows the tank to adjust its ground clearance and posture. The K1 88-Tank has a four-man crew and a diesel engine that gives it a maximum speed of 65 km/h on roads and a range of 500 km. The K1 88-Tank entered service in 1986 and has been upgraded several times since then. The latest variant is the K1A2, which features a 120 mm smoothbore gun, improved electronics, and enhanced armor.
