Picture of the Day: New Helicopter for ROK Marines

Shown in this photo dated Dec. 29, 2015, is a helicopter tailored for the Marines, developed by the Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). The chopper, based on the KAI-developed Surion, was built for amphibious operations to support airlifting of troops and equipment between ship and shore. KAI said it will start full production of the new choppers in the first half of next year, aiming to sell 1,000 units at home and abroad over the next 20 years. (Photo provided by KAI) (Yonhap)
