They’ve already kinda been doing that, just indirectly. Western partners have been giving their old stock of 155 to Ukraine and then resupplying with Korean made 155s.
I think a real game changer would be if they actually decided to give them access to the K2 tank. It would be interesting to see what an actual modern tank could do in Ukraine, especially considering they have layers of protection against drones and atgm. Plus they can crank them off the production line faster than any other nation.
Is the k2 actually designed for constant combat? Ukraine seemed to really struggle with the abrams, but that’s designed to have equal or greater maintenance time to fighting time.

I was more meaning cut the middle man out to expedite the process…
But also, you’re a fucking genius. Korean Armoured battalions when?!

K2 is just running on a big diesel engine, so it’s not going to be as maintenance prone as the turbine on the Abrams.
