The Philippine Marines has started training on the Hanwha Techwin KAAV Amphibious Assault Vehicle in South Korea, which includes operating them on land and at sea, as the promised delivery for the first batch of 4 vehicles is fast approaching.



Depending on source, the delivery date of tge 1st batch varies from before end of 2018 to April 2019. Nonetheless, training for the future crew is an indication that delivery is imminent.



Interesting FACT: the KAAV's hull were actually made by BAE Systems, and not by Hanwha itself. Hanwha is in charge of installing the components and integrating the subsystems to complete the vehicle as a KAAV.
