  Last week, the Norwegian government signed an agreement to acquire this long-range artillery system. It will be the largest single acquisition for the Norwegian army ever.

  Our goverment, CROATIA, decided to buy 18 Chunmoo K239. The best system this type on the World. We ordered and 8 Himars, but Chunmoo is better. When we ordered Himars, I wasn't happy, and I said it would be better if we bought  Chunmoo K239. South Korea thanks, I hope we will buy and other systems from South Korea.

  K239 Chunmoo and HIMARS are, in reality, not true competitors.<br>In almost every operational and economic aspect, Chunmoo holds a clear advantage.<br><br>HIMARS is a weapon system designed first and foremost for the United States—and for the United States alone. Its only genuine advantage over Chunmoo is one specific capability:<br>being small and light enough for tactical air transport.<br><br>Beyond that single factor, Chunmoo is superior in cost efficiency, firepower, reload capacity, operational sustainability, and logistical support.<br><br>The reason air transport matters so much to the United States is simple:<br>the U.S. fights its wars on foreign soil.<br>American forces must project power across oceans, which makes airlift capability a necessity rather than a luxury.<br><br>For most other countries, this requirement simply does not exist.<br>Nations operating primarily within their own territory—or neighboring regions—can rely on highways, rail networks, and ground logistics, which are vastly more efficient than air transport.<br><br>Transporting one or two HIMARS launchers using a large strategic airlifter is not only inefficient but extremely costly in terms of time, fuel, manpower, and aircraft availability. In a real wartime scenario, such a method is often impractical or outright impossible.<br><br>In short, HIMARS is an excellent weapon—for the United States.<br>Chunmoo, however, is the more rational choice for almost everyone else.<br><br>Any country evaluating HIMARS and Chunmoo side by side and still choosing HIMARS—despite not requiring expeditionary airlift—is prioritizing political symbolism over operational reality.
