K806

The K806 is a 6x6 wheeled armored personnel carrier developed by Hyundai Rotem for the Republic of Korea Army. It is designed to provide enhanced mobility and protection for infantry units, capable of operating in various terrains and combat scenarios.

Developed under the South Korean Ministry of National Defense's Wheeled Armored Vehicle program initiated in 2012, the K806 was designed to replace aging tracked assets and secure rear areas, airfields, and logistics convoys. Following successful trials, the vehicle officially entered service with the Republic of Korea Army in 2018 alongside its larger 8x8 counterpart, the K808. While it has not seen active combat, the K806 is heavily utilized in domestic defense operations, border security, and rapid-reaction exercises. Today, the K806 remains in active mass production and service, serving as a cornerstone of South Korea's military modernization efforts to transition to a highly mobile, wheeled force.
