[Yang Nak-gyu's Defence photo] Urban Warfare Needle Unit 39th Division

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] The Army's 39th Infantry Division is tasked with preventing enemy infiltration into rear areas. The most eye-catching feature here was the wheeled armored vehicle in the urban combat training ground, which looked as if an entire city building had been relocated. It is the K806 armored vehicle supplied for the regional defense division under the 2nd Operations Command. The domestically developed K806 armored vehicle can travel at a maximum speed of 100 km/h. It is equipped with an automatic tire pressure control system, making it capable of traversing rough terrain without issues. It also carries smoke grenades.

The underside of the armored vehicle is designed to withstand anti-personnel mines and small improvised explosive devices (IEDs). When an IED detonates beneath the vehicle, the fragments are deflected outward from the vehicle floor. IEDs are weapons that attach various remote devices or detonators to conventional explosives such as shells, bombs, or gasoline. They use objects that are difficult to recognize as explosives, such as trash cans, plastic bottles, or dead dogs, to create explosive devices. The U.S. military also supplies Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles to counter IED threats.
