Notes: This South Korean IFV is looks similar to a scaled-down M-2 Bradley with a different turret. The KIFV is a smaller vehicle, with lighter armor, armament, and less ammunition. As the average South Korean soldier is smaller in stature than his American counterpart, this size difference is not critical to crew comfort; however, the lighter armor and armament make the vehicle less survivable than even the BMP-1s of the North Korean Army. The KIFV has two firing ports in each hull side, and one in the rear door; these firing ports can take the M-231, CAR-15, MP-5, M-16 series, M-4 carbine, K-2 assault rifle, K-1A1 submachinegun, or M-249 SAW.

The turret of the K-200 is a one-man design with an M-2HB. On the glacis plate is a bank of six smoke grenade launchers. The troop compartment has a rear ramp with a door in it, and a large overhead hatch. This is the most common variant of the KIFV. This vehicle is used by South Korea and Malaysia.

The KAFV (Korean Armored Fighting Vehicle) 40/50 is a KIFV (see below) with a turret mounting a Mark 19 automatic grenade launcher and an M-2HB, instead of the normal turret/commander's machinegun combination. The commander's hatch is still present, but the MAG machinegun is not installed, as it interferes with the traverse of the turret. The turret is one-man. These vehicles were introduced in late 1997 and are relatively rare compared to the more numerous KIFV.

The KIFV 30 is a relatively rare variant of the KIFV, armed with a 30mm Bushmaster II autocannon. The commander's position is moved to the turret, where he has an M-2HB mount. This vehicle is still in the testing phase in 2003.

The K-277A1 is the KIFV version of the M-577A1, I.e., a command post carrier variant. As with the M-577A1, the rear area of the K-277A1 is raised about a meter to allow for standing within the vehicle. It is equipped with a chemical sniffer, a Geiger counter, a battle management computer, at least three radios, a 4-meter collapsible mast antenna, folding map tables, map boards, and storage lockers. There is a tent folded at the rear to double the available working area when the vehicle is halted. The vehicle has a 5kW generator mounted in front of the raised compartment to run the equipment while the engine is off. Unlike the M-577A1, the K-277A1 retains a machinegun mount.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The KIFV 30 began production in early 1998 and didn't get far before North Korean strikes destroyed the factory.
