YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The world spent over $2.7 TRILLION dollars on weapons in 2024, and a bigger chunk of that went to South Korea than ever before.

From the Hanwha Redback IFV, the KF-21 Fighter Jet, and even advanced warships, South Korea is arming 23 countries, with more lining up, including the United States.

We break down what makes South Korea's defense industry so competitive, what they offer, who is buying, and what this means for arms sales in general.
