K9 Thunder Moukari

In July 2016, the Finnish Ministry of Defence announced that an undisclosed number of used K9s have been selected to be acquired from the Republic of Korea. The acquisition is claimed to be biggest of the decade for the Land Forces, whose both mobile and towed artillery face mass outdating in the 2020s. In February 2017, the Ministry of Defence announced that Finland will acquire 48 used K9s over a period of seven years starting in 2018, with conscript training on the equipment commencing in 2019. In November 2022 Finland announced to buy 48 more K9s. After delivery of all weapons Finland will have 96 K9 SPGs.

The K9 Thunder is a South Korean self-propelled 155 mm howitzer developed by Samsung Techwin for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and now manufactured by Hanwha Land Systems. It was developed to supplement and then replace the K55 self-propelled howitzers in South Korean service.
K9 is an indigenous system of an all-welded steel armour construction which is rated to withstand 14.5 mm armour piercing rounds, 152 mm shell fragments, and anti-personnel mines. The main armament consists of a 155 mm/52 caliber ordnance with a maximum firing range of 40 km; the K307 BB-HE projectile propelled by the K676 top charge has a muzzle velocity of 928 m/s (3,040 ft/s). State-of-the-art mobility subsystems include a 1,000 horsepower (750 kW) engine with potential for growth and hydropneumatic suspension unit, a requirement for Korea's rugged mountainous terrain.

K9 Thunder on Korean tasavallassa Samsung Aerospace Industriesin ja Korean tasavallan asevoimien vuosina 1989-1998 kehittämä ja 1999 sarjatuotantoon otettu raskas panssarihaupitsi, jonka valmistaja on nykyään nimeltään Hanwha Land Systems. Se on kehitetty aluksi täydentämään amerikkalaiseen M109-panssarihaupitsiin pohjautuvaa korealaista K55-panssarihaupitsia, ja myöhemmin korvaamaan sen kokonaan. K9-panssarihaupitsit muodostavat laajemman tykistöasejärjestelmän samaan alustaan pohjautuvien panssaroitujen K10-latausvaunujen kanssa, jotka kykenevät kuljettamaan lisäammuksia yli kahden K9-panssarihaupitsin ammustäytön verran.
Heinäkuussa 2016 Suomen puolustusministeriö kertoi hankkivansa tuntemattoman määrän K9 Thunder -panssarihaupitseja Maavoimille. Hankinnan väitetään olevan suurin 2020-luvulle tehtävistä vanhan kaluston korvaamisista. Marraskuun lopulla Rovajärvellä pidetyssä Maavoimien vaikuttamisharjoituksessa (MVH16) oli testissä K9 Thunder. Testin tuloksiin ollaan tyytyväisiä. Myöhemmin määräksi tarkentui 48 yksikön telahaupitsin tilaus. Marraskuussa 2022 Suomi ilmoitti ostavansa 48 yksikköä lisää. Toimitusten päätyttyä Suomella on 96 K9-panssarihaupitsia.
