The K200 KIFV is a South Korean armored personnel carrier designed by the Agency for Defense Development through Project Toad (두꺼비 사업) to replace older armored personnel carriers, such as the M113. It was produced by Hanwha Aerospace (then, Daewoo Heavy Industries). Since 2009, the K200 has been supplemented by the K21. An estimated 2,500 K200/A1 series were built (1700 standard, 800 specialized), among which 111 were exported to Malaysia.
