You mean South Korean tank, at least according to the video title when i manged to get it loaded.

I'll bet it's probably made by Daewoo, that company makes everything over there. If what i saw of Korean craftsmanship holds true, I'll also bet those tanks will fold quickly if the excrement ever hits air rotary circulation device.

That's definitely a South Korean tank and NOT North Korea. It's the K2. Its gun is substantially more powerful than Japan's MBT.

Don't know how the armor is going to hold in tank vs tank combat though.

lol it was an honest mistake it's alright . I doubt North Korea has even T-90 or T-80. At most they might have T-72 which I even doubt. I think they have mostly T-62 or T-55 perhaps now extensively modified and reinforced with ERA tiles.

Well even the T72 could cross a riverbed given its snorkeling equipment is installed first.

Umm yea that's nothing new though the Swedish Strv-103 turretless tank had something like that too as well as Japanese's Mitsubishi tank(don't know what that tank's called).

Speaking of North Korea and Submarines, a neat video of the DPRK's Sang O (Shark) class submarine:

Those hydraulics would make it pain in butt when it's in a hull down position ,just pop up before a shot then drop ,would make it easier to shift positions to ,if the hole's a dug right by the engineers you could pull back and change positions with a lot less chance of being spotted.
