(서울=연합뉴스) 튀르키예 방산업체 오토카르가 이탈리아 레오나르도와 함께 120㎜ 전차포를 탑재한 궤도형 장갑차 '툴파르'의 실사격 시험을 성공적으로 마쳤다고 밝혔습니다.
방산전문매체 밀리타르니와 UK디펜스저널은 지난 20일(현지시간) 툴파르 차체에 레오나르도의 '히트팩트 마크Ⅱ' 포탑을 결합한 전차형 시제차가 통합·실사격 시험을 거쳤다고 보도했습니다. 구체적인 시험 날짜와 장소는 공개되지 않았습니다.
공개된 영상에는 툴파르가 정지 상태와 주행 중에 120㎜포를 발사하는 모습이 담겼습니다.
두 회사는 시험에 앞서 차체와 포탑의 기계·전기 장치와 소프트웨어 연동 상태를 점검했으며, 주포와 사격통제장치, 주행 중 조준을 유지하는 안정화 장치가 계획된 목표를 충족했다고 설명했습니다.
히트팩트 마크Ⅱ 포탑에는 반동을 줄인 120㎜ 활강포가 장착됐으며 북대서양조약기구(NATO·나토) 표준 포탄을 사용할 수 있습니다.
툴파르는 총중량 28∼45t 범위로 설계된 모듈형 궤도장갑차로, 보병전투차와 화력지원차, 방공차량 등으로 변형도 가능합니다.
다만 이번 시험에 사용된 포탄의 종류와 발사 횟수, 툴파르 전차형의 도입국이나 양산 계획은 공개되지 않았습니다.

An aircraft presumed to be a North Korean aircraft was detected in the sky near Baengnyeong Island in Incheon, and 50 fishing boats and 29 leisure boats were forced to take refuge. Following notification from military authorities, the Coast Guard sent an evacuation text message, and the situation was lifted approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes later.

The Ministry of National Defense announced at the Cabinet meeting on the 22nd that it had approved an amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Military Bases and Military Facilities Protection Act to change the purpose of the search airfield in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do from the existing 'support aviation operation base' to 'helicopter operation base'. Accordingly, 19.8 ㎢, or 93% of the 21.3 ㎢ area of the flight safety zone, will be released, and only 1.5 ㎢ will be adjusted to a helicopter-only operation base. The Ministry of National Defense explained that this is expected to improve conditions for local residents to exercise their property rights and help promote regional development and urban maintenance projects.

North Korea announced via KCNA that it successfully tested a new combat weapon system under Kim Jong-un's supervision, calling it a significant advancement in defense technology, two days after South Korea's military detected two short-range ballistic missile launches from the Wonsan area.

An unknown explosion occurred during our military's search route development operation in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the western front near Paju and Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province, and three executives were injured. Military authorities are investigating the exact cause of the accident, keeping in mind the possibility of a mine explosion.
The Navy's newest 3,600-ton submarine, the Seo Hee, has revealed its interior for the first time ahead of its launch this fall. Strike capabilities were strengthened by increasing the hull length and weapon load, and the number of vertical launch tubes for SLBM launches was expanded from 6 to 10. On the same day, the Pyeongtaek, the 5th ship of the Ulsan-class deployment-III, was also unveiled, highlighting Hanwha Ocean's shipbuilding capabilities.

Last March, a South Korean military helicopter deployed on a mission to extinguish forest fires in the border area was found to have crossed the Military Demarcation Line. The pilots mistakenly entered the demilitarized zone while searching for the mission area with the naked eye, and the lack of control and information sharing among upper units was confirmed. The Joint Chiefs of Staff issued warnings and precautions to relevant units.
