Local Estonian news link. Estonia already confirmed they're getting HIMARS... but since everyone and their mom wants HIMARS after seeing it in the Ukraine war, the waitlist is insane and no one knows when they'll actually get them.

Sweden is also pushing for a deal. They're looking into tracked howitzers because of how wheeled ones perform in winter, and the K-9 is a top candidate since they can share logistics with other Nordic neighbors. * K-239 Chunmoo: Estonia is the first to open the floodgates...

Norway is also weighing it against HIMARS. The K-9 is basically becoming the 'standard howitzer' of Northern Europe... let's see if the Chunmoo can take the 'standard MLRS' spot too! Honestly, almost all European countries bordering Russia (+Belarus) have bought Korean artillery: Poland, Romania, Estonia, Finland, Norway... If Russia ever tries to throw hands with Europe, Korean artillery is gonna be the first to greet them.
