They only bought 30 of them. They are either using them for target practice, or OPFOR.
30 Tanks isn’t even a Battalion.
Why buy an expensive system which is in service with a handful of countries,none of which are opposed to the South Koreans??The older T-55/72 would have been a better bet if exercises were the only bet.All that being said,the South Koreans brought these as part of Russia’s repayment of loans & there are have been rumours of additional batches.The autoloader tech from the T-80 has reportedly found it’s way into the new South Korean XK-2 tank.
