S. Korea Unveils New Military Transport Chopper


South Korea evinced a new military helicopter to replace U.S. helicopters. The Surion helicopter was first shown at a ceremony in the southern city of Sacheon.

South Korea planned to build about 200 Surion to replace UH-1Hs and 500MDs The Surion can fly 260 kilometers per hour, carrying two gunners and a patrol of troops.

This project has spent a lot of money. It is about 1.3 trillion won.

I think it is good for South Korea to build their new military helicopter, and it is good beginning to start building their own transport.
