Estonia has signed a contract worth approximately $340 million to purchase six Chunmoo multiple rocket launchers, produced by the South Korean company Hanwha Aerospace.
The agreement includes operational support, training, and investments in the local defense industry, with the first systems expected to be delivered in about two years. The country also retains the option to acquire additional units in the future.
As part of the package, Hanwha signed a memorandum of understanding with the Estonian company GoCraft OÜ to establish local maintenance capabilities, technical training, and the supply of spare parts. The initiative aims to ensure the continuous operation and logistical security of the systems, while also strengthening Estonia’s defense industrial base through knowledge transfer and long-term investments.
The Chunmoo will be used to enhance Estonia’s deep strike capability, complementing the HIMARS system already in service. With a current range of up to 300 kilometers, and plans to reach 500 kilometers, the system stands out for its greater firepower, thanks to the configuration with two launch modules.
According to authorities, despite being heavier than HIMARS, the Chunmoo offers greater operational flexibility, in the context of high global demand for rocket artillery.
