Čaj K1 je južnokorejski glavni borbeni tenk u upotrebi sa Oružanim snagama Republike Koreje, koji je razvio Hyundai Precision (kasnije Hyundai Rotem). Rani dizajnerski radovi vozila bazirani su na M1 Abramsu generala Dynamicsa, sa nekim primetnim razlikama, uključujući kombinovani sistem hidropneumatskog vešanja i torzionih šipki, kao i pribor za fording preko reke, kako bi se zadovoljila potrebna operativna sposobnost koja je specifična za borbene operacije na planinskom i močvarnom terenu Korejskog poluostrva. K1A1 je ušao u servis 1999. Hyundai Rotem je proizveo 1.511 tenkova K1 i K1A1 između 1985.

General Characteristics
The K1 Main Battle Tank, also referred to as the Type 88 (88 전차), was the first domestically developed tank of the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA). Its design, which began in the early 1980s, was heavily influenced by the US M1 Abrams, but was modified to suit South Korea’s specific operational requirements, particularly its mountainous terrain. This led to unique features like the hybrid hydropneumatic and torsion bar suspension system and a lower profile than the M1 Abrams. The K1 series remains the backbone of the ROKA’s armored forces.

- 1 x 7.62 mm M60E2-1 coaxial machine gun.
- Fire Control System: Computerized FCS with a Nd:YAG or later CO2 laser rangefinder, allowing for high first-round hit probability while on the move (hunter-killer capability enabled by commander’s panoramic sight).
Protection and Mobility
- Armor: Classified composite armor, closely related to the British Chobham armor technology used on the M1 Abrams.
