Saudi Arabia's use of AT-1K Raybolt anti-tank guided missile in Yemen.
At one point during the previous administration, South Korea exported significant number of guided weapon system to Saudi Arabia at their request. This included AT-1K Raybolt and the Korea GPS-Guided Bomb (KGGB). Saudi Arabia reportedly fielded the Raybolt earlier than the Republic of Korea Army and even received KGGB straight out of Republic of Korea Air Force wartime munition stockpile.
Existence of such deal was unknown to the public until a footage surfaced in the summer of 2018 showing an Arab coalition soldier armed with a Raybolt engaging a moving pick-up truck. The missile successfully destroyed the truck, which was hidden behind a hill.

Since then, numerous footage have surfaced, showcasing various engagement scenarios such as short-range, long-range, nighttime, anti-personnel, and so on.
The way Saudi Arabia employed the weapon system remained a mystery until recently, when a Saudi source confirmed that the Saudi military in Yemen operates a dedicated "Special Forces" unit that employs the Raybolt.
According to the source, this "Special Forces" unit carries out undercover missions disguised as, or attached to pro-Saudi Yemeni forces and "snipes" high-value targets using the missile.
7 enemy leaders, 11 BMPs, 24 armored vehicles, 40 fortified positions, and numerous technicals were confirmed to have been destroyed by this unit. Although the claimed number is not verified by 3rd party sources, there are plenty of foogage which supports some degree of validity.
Whatever the case is, Saudi Arabia's employment of Raybolt has surely benefited South Korea, having been able to put the weapon system to the test in live combat environment.
Although there is no visual confirmation, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is another user of the Raybolt. According to official government figure, oversea order of Raybolt is said to be several times greater than domestic order, with UAE's order being 3 times greater than South Korea's. A dedicated Arabic simulator was even developed for foreign customers.
The AT-1K Raybolt is significantly cheaper and lighter than its US counterpart, the FGM-148 Javelin.
