Romania Confirms $920 Million Purchase of South Korean K-9 Artillery Batteries
Continued Russian aggression has been good for South Korea’s defense industry:
Romania has confirmed its plan to buy South Korean K-9 self-propelled howitzers for US$920 million, the defense ministry said Wednesday, in another boost for Seoul’s drive to clinch more arms export deals.
Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar announced the decision during talks in Romania with Seoul’s defense chief Shin Won-sik, who is on a weeklong trip to Eastern Europe that will also take him to Poland, according to the ministry.
Shin thanked Tilvar for the decision and anticipated the deal — the biggest in Romania’s arms acquisition over the past seven years — will further activate defense and arms cooperation between the two countries.

K-9 batteries? Power sources for robot dogs? Like the new ones with flamethrowers?

Seriously though, well-done South Korea!!! You’re headed for the top!
“What should I wear when I go to Romania to seal this deal?”
“I’d wear the suck-up tie.”
