Two most modern North Korean tanks are Chonma-Ho 216 and Songun-Ho, these tanks are kinda similar, but they are also very different, we are going to take a detailed look at them and see how do they compare to their modern counterparts, and if they are a threat to other countries, especially South Korea that now operates with K2 Black Panther.

Please make Bob semple tank
@@nsms1297 yes
When you drew tanks as a child and put as many weapons as possible on top of the turret
That's kind of what the US does. The TUSK2 for the Abrams has the 120mm main gun, 20mm coax, a .50 on the commander hatch, a .50 on top of the main gun, and what I believe is a 240B on the loader hatch.
Marauder623 There are no 20mm’s on the TUSK 2 package for the Abrams. At most, the Abrams has it’s 120mm, 1 to 2 M2 .50’s(one for Commander, one on top of the cannon), a coax M240C, and a M240C for the Loader.
@@diobrando2575 i will admit, I was going purely on memory, bugger knows where the 20mm came into it lol. But still, MOOOOORRRREEE DAKKAAAAAAAAA
I had a different approach and put as many cannons as possible pointing left right front and back da vinci style
@@Marauder623 at least you dont have a ATGM a manpad a grenade launcher a double 23mm a smoke grenade launcher and a searchlight on the turret
It looks like a T-62 with random shit welded on to make it look modern.

And guess what if an ah-64 apache hunter gets near the tank bye bye goes down.
Probably yes LOL

I wouldn't complain, would most likely mean that there's a few more interesting and unique tanks on the Chinese tree (most likely)
Especially the Pokpung-ho, seems like the perfect tank for War Thunder, with its SAM xD
Yeah i would want a North Korean tier list. For Korean war battles.

Mighty North Korean tanks are to strong for current br's. We need at least a br of 15.0 to show the full potential of strength and power of our supreme leaders tanks.

well, their ICBMs are very modern!
@@EduardoW-v7ino, they are not. An American or Russian ICBM can put 8 warheads into 8 football stadiums hundreds of miles apart. The Kim Jong Un Express rockets are lucky if they end up in the intended hemisphere.
@@robertchesky277 you are talking about their SLBMs. That's different. My point is the hwasong-15 is comparable to the american Minuteman-3. In some aspects, even better. Moreover, it is just a matter of time before DPRK finally develops SLBMs like russian/american/chinese/indian/french/british ones. Soon, maybe already this year, NK will show its equivalent of the RS-24 Yars. Can't wait to see it!!

I've read somewhere that these T-62's may have received reverse-engineered Chieftain gunner's sights (technical data being provided by Iran), but who knows how true that is. Even so it's still outdated.
An outdated tank can still be deadly
chaosXpert If used right against troops without sufficient anti-tank capabilities, sure. But if you meet a more modern tank with a decent crew or an AT team who knows what they‘re doing, it‘s not pretty.
Still, a invading army would have to transport their tanks to the site, which is one of the reasons the US had the Sherman tanks, which were inferior to the German tanks. However, if the N. Koreans had T62 and other tanks in vast numbers with sufficient artillery and sufficient anti-aircraft fire to ward off a invading beachhead they could still put up quite a fight! However, it would be quite doubtful if it would come to that, being that masses of missiles would soften them up sufficiently then laying siege with continuous missile fire would overcome the resistance to a beach head, keeping in mind, this would not a one point assault but a several front attack, and there is no way that N. Korea could withstand such a attack and surly the N. Kore3an leaders know that, even if their people do not!
However, there is no need for such a assault, being that N. Korea has really not given sufficient cause for for N. Korea has not attacked their neighbors, recently, unlike Russia! Oh yes, Russia! Russia might well join N. Korea, which would be a problem, not to mention the Russian agent in the White House, and his new mob, the Republican party that would support him, no mater what, even against the US it's self, as they have a recent history of that!
Right now though, N. Korea is not a real threat, but criminal Trump, his new mob, the Republican party, and their propaganda media is!
@@chaosXP3RT Maybe it can be deadly, but not against state-of-the-art tanks that have all the advantages on the battlefield. Even if in the first few days the KPAAF saturates the skies, the USAF and ROKAF will have eventually ground them down, and then good luck trying to create an advantageous situation for your tank unit when the enemy has recon drones and strike aircraft everywhere. Also good luck trying to fight a guerilla war with tanks. They're a bit too conspicuous for that.
If the KPA doesn't completely zerg rush the South in the first one or two days with all the tanks, mechanized infantry, artillery, air force and whatnot they have then they're gone.
@@Grayfox988 Yeah, and they cant, as South Korea has less soldiers, but better trained and far better technology on their side

They are not totally useless though. Some modern Chinese tanks like Type 99A. Once the crew got a laser warning, they initiate the laser suppression system on the tank, which means the tank will shoot a much stronger laser back and blind the shooter or his device.

Lol, Even against europe, nort Korea can destroy them with nuclear
Well ya,many countries still just use T-55s and several ones even use T-34s,so,ya,agenst them,these tanks will do great
First thing to note [completely missed by the observer] is that the vehicles shown have 6 roller wheels, e.g. one more than T-62. So it's definitely more than just a simple T-62 upgrade, the whole chassis is substantially different, and they must have had a reason for that. If it's a manual loaded 125mm gun, then one might imagine that it should not have limitations on the length of APFSDS rounds that T-64/72/80/90 autoloaders impose. Question is - have they developed any ingenious APFSDS rounds? Cannot imagine that some youtube'er would know the answer. One might also imagine that some of that extra length went into spaced armor in the front to improve protection. Mounting SA manpads on the turret is a great idea, and no, ATGM's are not really optimized for anti-air defense. Based on those simple observations, I'd probably pay a bit more attention to those NK models, though it would be hard to imagine that their FCS and sights are anywhere close to modern standards.

Multiple aspects of that (earlier tank) make sense. Having an extra guy in the tank definitely helps if you expect a tank to become partly immobilised while still having some functionality, especially if injury occurs to a person. Older sight technology has benefits such as vastly lower computing capabilities so you simply do not need the computing requirements onboard. Some barely 32bit singlecore (no cache) chip like a motorola 68020 could be cloned (with a different instruction set) making the CPU (possibly gate array ASIC supported) easier for a nation to make whilst isolationist. The 68020 was used in Western Jetplanes (and sometimes, sort of, still is). Chances are, you'll have no cache backdoor if you have no cache. No ROP attack on a serial if you don't have a serial. Likewise for parallel ieee1284. Cache is a form of memory and extremely vulnerable to (for example EMP) electrical surge (e.g. weapons) or plasma. Heat photons likewise interchange with electrons and can be a big problem on cache. Sure, that (electrical-surge/plasma) will knock out a _"no cache CPU"_ too but the damage will not always be forever whereas a _"cache CPU"_ being damaged is almost certainly done for with almost no chance of immediate recovery.
Whether or not the nation is North Korea using such lower priorities of tanks (while having many of them) a nation does not need to have the message that they will win but instead can get by with _"if you come here, it will be painful to you."_ They don't tend to have women in tanks either. It sends a message of what a nation is prepared to do. That is a propaganda (quite effective sometimes btw) and a morality game theory.
Nuke propaganda has a similar vibe, signalling that you do not need a side to "win", per se.

@@sldessel 1960s tanks were just slightly better ww2 tanks, it was just 20 Years after the war and technology was still not very good, an Abrams would win 99 times out of 100
A threat is the huge amount of tanks. But basically they are mostly T-55 or T-62 models with upgrade as Chong ma produced in PRK.
The ATGM seems to be an admission of guilt that the AT rounds are either not easily aimed at range, or just lack penetration at range vs the S Korean K1 tanks. I'm pretty sure the K2 completely BTFO's the Chonmaho or Pokpoongho's.
A laser detector isn’t going to do you much good, from firing the laser to firing the main gun is about 1-2 seconds. On subsequent tanks the crew may not decide to even “range” the target (we already know the range).
They can still be threat to M48A5K tanks in SK reserve force, and IFVs in the regular army. Since South Korean goal is not to win the war if there's one, but to have a perfect victory with almost neglectable casulties, we keep improving our weapons. We'll probably satisfy when an AP round shot from the best tanks of NK can hardly penetrate a helmet of an infantry rifleman of ours.

Interesting, I did not know that modern DPRK tanks had SAMs on them, along with dual HMGs. I assume that this tank configuration is designed for the purpose of providing an anti-helicopter capability for tank groups, assuming that they also have hoards of low quality tanks. Gunships would be a realistic threat for DPRK tanks. Not really sure if that is more beneficial than just having dedicated SAM vehicles alongside the tanks though. I thought the DPRK also had lots of T-72s as well.

@@wonkagaming8750 Yes that seems to be the case, no T-72s. I guess the tank mostly discussed in this video is the M2002, which was touted as a big deal years ago. Tanks aren't really their strong suit
Does it even work outside of parades ?
zagros zemnako 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hasn’t been tested
To be fair I watched Polish millenium military parade and recent (2018) North Korean. They appear really similar, but the Polish one was from the 1966, so even from visual side it looks just archaic.
Poland is stone age!
North Korea f*cks Poland in *ss!
Oh no, technology from 40 years ago!
More like 50 years ago since they first got their T62's in 1972-73.
Are they a threat? Yeah to those who use them. :-)
Taunter Atwill no
It depends on who they are fighting. DPRK seems convinced they will be fighting an infantry war, where such tanks would still be effective.
These tanks are cardboard cutouts on to of a vw jetta.
if those manpads work, then that means they have relatively good defenses against drones
There is also the possibility that all of those are barely running T-62s with a bunch of non-functional stuff strapped to them for posturing.
I think it's not an MBT, it's IST (Infantry Support Tank) since it was good enough to escort an infantry battalion or company
How to make North Korean modern tank:
- Take a T-62 or a Type 59
- Paint it to the North Korean Communist Camo
- Take 4 RPG
- Build the 4 RPG to the roof of the tank
- Take 3 DShK and build it to the roof of the tank
Completed
LoL, you have no mercy on the poor crew. Sitting on explosives now adding explosives on top of their heads, LoL.
You know, it would be pretty interesting to see a Korea tree in War Thunder. They would start off with the T-34s and M8s that each nation used during the Korean War, then slowly make its way up into top tier, with North Korea having the T-54/55s, 62s, Chon'mas and Son'guns while South Korea has the M48s, M60s, T-80Us (yes really, go look it up) and K1s. At top tier would be the K2 Black Panther which would be on par with the most recent MBTs at top tier
I'd prefer to split the Koreas as minor nations. NK to the China tree, SK to the Japan tree. Would work better in my opinion than just lumping them all into what essentially amounts to another Chinese tech tree (with almost all of the exact same export vehicles and a slightly different top tier).
@@skyscallSK to japan tree is the most insulting thing I have heard in a while
They probably use mass wave or deep operations in their battle strategy so these would fight in a 5 to one ratio against a Abrams
Good strategy but Abrams are always in a 5 tank platoon and accompanied by infantry. Not to mention if they are also accompanied by Bradley's with their atgms which is likely.
Each Abrams carries enough rounds for the main gun to wipe out 30 to 40 NK tanks anyhow,&since the Abrams crews rarely miss it'll likely be closer to 40 NK tanks being blasted from beyond the range the NK's are even able to fire hitting anywhere in the vicinity of the Abrams.
I'd be surprised if NK could even stand for long against an American Military from the WWII era.
M Heb Again nice meme but to be completely honest most of North Korea’s technology at the latest would be 1950s and 60s in at the earliest 1990s to early 2000‘s also it is a large militia of about 4 million so it was most likely see a protracted guerrilla war against any occupational forces.
M Heb also North Korea has a large stock pile of Kornet 4 missile systems so they probably make up for it in anti tank teams
@James Reilly no the Kornet missiles would probably keep them at bay tho
North Korea must have offered you rice and corn to do this video huh red effect?
I can't help but correct several inaccuracies.
1) Even though some sources insist that 216 is armed with 125mm, visual evidence suggests otherwise. The gun tube of 216 is indistinguishable from that of U-5TS, which is a strong point towards suggestion that it's 115mm. Sungun however does appear to be armed with a proper version of 2A46.
2) Although korean sights are not independently stabilized in horizontal plane, their FCS can have and most likely do have semi-automatic lead on - an electronic "helper" that tells gunner how far ahead of the target to aim. This kind of system was present on earlier T-72 models and, what is more relevant, "M" upgrades of both T-55 and T-62. Sure it is not as comfortable to use as a fully automatic lead on, but it somewhat gets the job done.
3) Upper glacis plate of both 215 and 216 has been redesigned compared to previous models and basic T-62. At least we do know that it's angle is different and more steep, which makes it hard to estimate actual protection level and definitely puts it somewhat above that of T-62, even without add-on plates.
4) 216 is likely not powered by 750hp engine. Both visual evidence and available official data suggest it has the same 1200hp engine as Songun. There was a report from a person who visited the KPA equipment museum in Pyongyang, and said that plaque in front of 216 stated that it's engine was rated at 1200hp. Furthermore, two tanks have very similar T-72-like engine decks, as opposed to model 215, which has a regular T-62 engine deck.
Another thing I would like to note is that presence of an IR searchlight shouldn't necessarily suggest the lack of thermal imager. Image intensifiers could have been left there as a backup or as a ruse (it's a North Korea after all). DPRK has proven to be capable of deploying rather advanced equipment, and cheap thermal imagers aren't too hard to come across novadays. In fact, those rangefinder boxes above the gun have suspiciously too many holes in them, the ones installed on latest tank models.
It is also worth noting that fully automatic lead on with independent stabilization is not as universal today, as it may seem. Abrams didn't have it until M1A2, Challenger 2 doesn't have it. The lack of it on DPRK tanks is certanly not catastrophic.
My man took 12 minutes to basically say “naw they shit”
"Modern North Korean tanks. Are they a threat?"
**Laughs in M1A2 Abrams**
When mountains start speaking Korean🙈
I dont need Tanks, im Send from God to Earth, i can Defeat my Enemy with bare Hands!
With all of these add on features, it seems to me like the higher command staff of the North Korean Army is aware of how poor their equipment is and are doing everything they can to give their vehicles just a smidge more protection and a hair more firepower.
I use to work at TACOM... I'll have to research your Tanks and it would be an honor to meet the Tank Commander!
The largest factor on the performance of these tanks it the nutrition level of the crew for sustained operation.
The North Korean military has somehow made goose-stepping look pathetic.
They call it the "Death-March" and they tell the soldiers that it strikes fear into their enemies.
Its painful, they have to wear tight belts around the stomach to keep stuff from bouncing around too much.
@@tachanka107 well it will be somebodys death march...
Goose stepping *is* pathetic. It was literally invented just to make marching sound louder than it is, something that until that time "civilized" European militaries had intentionally avoided. Prussia sucked, and everyone who's bought into their memes also sucks.
@@wikieditspam Prussia sucked? Your history teacher deserves to get slapped!

Look like a T62 with 2 SAM and 2 ATG welded on the turret.... Lol.
Come-on give us your genuine comment.
The reason why externally mounting so much firepower on a tank is a REALLY stupid idea in general, is because as a tank, your job is ultimately in the frontline, to support the advance of the infantry. What is the point of having so much ambushing potential on a tank, when you can put all of this on a faster, lighter vehicle, that can do this job a lot more effectively. Not to mention that external equipment on a tank tends to get damaged a lot. I've seen videos from combat zones, where guerillas would intentionally shoot at top mounted machine gun's ammo boxes, missile mounts, etc. Having so much firepower externally simply means that you won't be able to use 70% of its potential, because it gets damaged before you're able to do so.
North Korea would likely be using their tanks in defensive positions and they know their main guns would do jack shit to the front of modern tanks so they stuck something on it that could be used from ambush to effectively engage modern MBTs. They plan to fight a defensive war from hull down ambush positions. It's not really that stupid at all when you think about North Korea's strategic situation, terrain, and likely enemies.
@@josephahner3031 Hull down didn't work for the Iraqi's so I doubt it would work for the Nth Koreans that well but you have to admire the persistence of Soviet armour doctrine.
In reality, it depends on what they are up against - APC's rarely have the armour to stop a MBT's round or an anti-tank missile. Against a K2 or an Abrams that's very different, but again it's still who sees who first and gets the shot off.
Crazy how much analysis can be done by a youtuber. Imagine the info the pentagon has and their capabilities

Here is my philosophy... does it have a gun on the tank? Yes. Can it kill? Obviously yes. Then yes a threat no matter what.
I think a separate launcher for atgms has a massive advantage it can fire a atgm and the main gun in quick succession

@Will.J not the Ostwind II, no, it was never produced.
These tanks are deathtraps. There's only so much the T-55 / T-62 hull can handle. The armor is only as good as the structural members supporting it. Most likely the hull is so strained at this point that any significant hit will cause structural failure even if it doesn't actually penetrate the armor. And it WILL penetrate the armor, as the tanks just can't take that much of an upgrade.
Every tank is a threat if your on foot and without an AT weapon.

lol a single platoon of M1 Abrams could take out the entire tank force of North Korea.
That Chon maha or w/e, thats just about to damn many guns on a single tank. 125mm, 2 AA guns, 2 HMGs, 2 ATGMs, Coaxial MG. Where are the hatches for the crew?
And they are just upgraded T-62s and T-55s? Yeah, western tanks would have an absolute field day stat padding up kills until thier tanks ran out of ammo.

The inclusion of the AA missiles is a very good move for NK - they know that their air capability is rather symbolic. Tank main gun lunched projectiles are uber expensive - so even if they added that capability it is too much money. Very smart move. As for the anti-tank missiles this is a bit strange - it would suggest that they are not so sure about capability of their main gun to take on enemy tanks.
I am not sure where K2 is one of the best tanks in the world - it is off the shelf ultra expensive grouping of various tech. Certainly ahead of NK tanks that are very budget oriented but it has little to say against most modern tanks the world fields - it simply is devoid of any "surprises" .
The AA is a waste of time and money, it's too short range to engage modern aircraft flying at altitude and most modern helicopters could engage at longer ranges than those missiles could reach.
