🇰🇷🇵🇭 | Republic of Korea (ROK) Marine Corps Commander Ju Il-seok and Defense Sec. Gibo Teodoro focused their discussions on support training for the operation and maintenance of the Philippine Marine Corps' Korean Amphibious Assault Vehicles (KAAV), expanding KAMANDAG joint exercise with Korea and the Philippines, and strengthening defense industry cooperation between the two countries' marine corps. The latest Korean Amphibious Assault Vehicle of Republic of Korea, the new KAAV-II is also being marketed to the Philippine Marine Corps. The maximum water speed of the KAAV-II has increased to around 20 km/h, compared to the 13 km/h of the existing assault armored vehicle KAAV, and its firepower has also been strengthened, particularly by being equipped with a 40 mm CTA gun. The CTA gun has advantages such as the ability to carry more ammunition than conventional ammunition because it uses internal warhead ammunition. It is said that it is equipped with rubber tracks, has a maximum ground speed of over 70 km, and is also equipped with anti-drone equipment such as jammers. https://m.newspim.com/news/view/20260929001134 https://bemil.chosun.com/nbrd/bbs/view.html?b\_bbs\_id=10185&branch=&pn=1&num=313
