K239 Chunmoo

South Korea's wheeled multi-caliber multiple launch rocket system — firing guided rockets, tactical ballistic missiles, and unguided munitions from a single 8×8 chassis, now spreading across NATO's eastern flank.

Overview

The K239 Chunmoo (Korean: 천무, "Heavenly Warrior") is a road-mobile, multi-caliber multiple launch rocket system developed by Hanwha Aerospace and operated by the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army and a growing number of export customers. It fires a family of unguided and precision-guided rockets from 131 mm to 600 mm calibre from a single 8×8 wheeled launcher, covering ranges from 36 km to 290 km. This payload breadth, combined with competitive pricing and supply-chain independence from the United States, has made the Chunmoo the most successful Korean defence export since the K9 Thunder howitzer, with major orders from Poland, Norway, Estonia, and Gulf states.
