The K200 KIFV (Korea Infantry Fighting Vehicle) is a South Korean armored personnel carrier, originally produced by Daewoo Heavy Industries as a domestic replacement for older armored personnel carriers, such as the M113, in front line service with the Republic of Korea Armed Forces at the time of the K200's development. Since 2009 the K200 has been supplemented by the K21.[5] A total of 2,383 K200 vehicles of all configurations were produced between 1985 and 2006,[5] among which are 111 K200A1 vehicles exported to Malaysia.[6]
