It’s super weird how they haven’t made a dedicated vehicle for NLOS weapons yet.

Working on updating this suggestion and expanding it a little, and just putting this here to begin with.
The NLOS ATGMs, tentatively called Bulsae-4 in most Western sources, are most likely not called that. Bulsae-4M is the name of the North Korean upgraded 9M111-2 Fagot with laser-beam riding guidance, which has also been given the inaccurate name of Bulsae-3 (so will also edit my UAZ-469 (Bulsae-4M) suggestion)
So a breakdown of ATGM names:
Bulsae-1 = 9M14 Malyutka (also called Susong-Po)
Bulsae-2 = 9M111-2 Fagot
Bulsae-4M = Bulsae-2 w/laser-beam riding guidance
Bulsae-5 = 9M133 Kornet
Bulsae-3 is not confirmed to be in use, but has been applied by people online to both the upgraded Bulsae-2, and the Kornet, before the name Bulsae-5 was revealed.
Therefore, it’s highly unlikely the new NLOS ATGM carries the designation Bulsae-4, and more likely is named Bulsae-6, or something completely different. For the purposes of clarity I’ll edit the post and use the name Bulsae-6, until more information emerges.
