[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] SNT Group's main defense contractors, SNT Motive and SNT Heavy Industries, will participate in the Korea Defense Industry Exhibition (DXK 2022) from the 21st to the 25th to showcase new firearms and more.

SNT Motive, a small-caliber firearms manufacturer, and SNT Heavy Industries, a producer of medium machine guns, automatic cannons, and automatic transmissions for tracked vehicles, announced that they will exhibit firearms either in mass production or under development in a 360㎡ exhibition hall.

SNT Motive will unveil K-series small-caliber firearms including the new hammerless type STP-9 9mm pistol, STC-16 5.56mm automatic rifle, STSM-21 9mm submachine gun, STR-24 6.8mm assault rifle, K-14 7.62mm sniper rifle, K-15 5.56mm light machine gun, and K-16 7.62mm machine gun.

SNT Heavy Industries will display a 1500-horsepower powerpack, a 120mm mortar system for Light Tactical Vehicles (LTV), a turret-type machine gun system (TGS) for Light Armed Helicopters (LAH), the K6 medium machine gun, 30mm automatic cannon, 20mm Vulcan cannon, and a 1000-horsepower automatic transmission for tracked vehicles.

An SNT Heavy Industries official stated, “At this exhibition, we will present a weapon system featuring a 120mm mortar mounted on an LTV,” explaining, “This weapon system enhances applicability and survivability in various combat environments by preserving the advantages of the existing 120mm mortar while adding the excellent mobility of the LTV.”

He added, “It can be operated with fewer personnel than the 120mm self-propelled mortar, allowing proactive preparation for reduced operational manpower due to military restructuring.”

At this exhibition, the two companies plan to introduce their full line-up of firearms?including pistols, rifles, machine guns, and sniper rifles?as well as key defense products in the mobile firepower sector such as medium machine guns, automatic cannon systems, and automatic transmissions for tracked vehicles through business meetings with military officials and overseas buyers.

A group official said, “Through this exhibition, we will actively market the excellence of domestically produced small-caliber firearms and highly reliable mobile weapon systems,” adding, “We will continue to strive to create opportunities to lead the global K-defense industry era in the world market.”
