Yeah, they clearly have some engineering skill. Especially with that armata knockoff. Normally when some impoverished shithole comes out with a new "modern" tank, its just an old soviet model with some shit bolted on; but that armata thing was a completely new chassis unlike anything else in their inventory or chinas.
Whats her specs, seems like a solid unit.
Ithink given the lethality of new stuff tanks should be more old school and cheap with a focus more on light tank with a little extra protection.
Basically, it's just a T-62 with a new turret, increased protection (and I guess a new engine). Quite a realistic and viable option for a country like North Korea. Soon Russia (what remains of it) will go the same way.
Seems like a solid line of engineering and improvements. After seeing all the war in ukraine since the riots and the syrian and iraq isis wars and how we in the US Army us tanks like in fallujah.
This is a most appropriate kind of tank, maybe a little bigger for comfort but hey its for war.
From the technology point of view what is the point of the crew for such type of vehicles.
If you have the air superiority, just make them rempte controlled and use drones for signal transmitting.
Still need some elite corps of manned tanks just in case, but for other shit lights tanks and ifvs with remote controls would be great i guess. You can make them smaller because of this.
Nah the Tiran 6 was literally just a T-62 with an L7 and other minor upgrades. Late Chonma's get composites, heavy ERA, an some with 125mm. You also have the shit like the dual ATGM and MANPADS launcher on the nork tanks which is sovl despite there being better solutions.

Looks the same old Cold War shit that lacks the required space for significant composites, like they have the same cast/welded construction as WW2 tanks but with a marginally more modern aesthetic.
>Say what you want about t-62 and North Korean "military"
Alright. How much fuel would they have to operate those? For like two weeks? Do they at least run on gas turbines?

It's hard to believe that this is a real vehicle. Most likely just a running layout. Chonma-ho, on the other hand, is a real tank.

>those turrets
I thought someone had fricked up the aspect ratio for a second there
israeli tiran-6 was better
Maybe. But still looks like communist shit.
Is this a friefly-like radio position?
you mean the antenna mountsradio? idk if the radio is on the thing outside but the antenna is mounted like pic related

Any proof that they are working tanks and not just parade mockups?
That's not L7 on his picrel.
whats going on with those "optics" ?
it looks like they just smeared resin on metal boxes or something to pretend there is glass/lenses on there?
Looks like a piece of shit, not least of which given the complete lack of space required for armor that matters in the turret.
Bug-men are small.

Chonma-hos and oliphants are kinda similar if you think about it.
Of course it looks neat, that’s what propaganda showrooms are for.
