Damn, beat me twice in one day lol, anyhow, this image along with the second one are sourced from the KCNA, of which I won’t link here but is forwarded through Militarnyi.

A museum with captured weapons of the Defense Forces of Ukraine was opened in the DPRK

And so, we can now say that the MBT and IFV capstones of the Cold War U.S. and West German armed forces are now in the hands of the DPRK. I mentioned above the use of a captured Bradley for developing an indigenous IFV, so hopefully the technology has been extracted here and will result in something cool for the future United Korean tree in the coming years.

Would be really funny if gaijin just make them as low effort premiums.

It’s gaijin after all

good luck with that,
its one of the most valued new possession they have now along with the Abrams

I read somewhere that it may actually be the most valuable vehicle provided due to its modern technologies. And considering that NK still largely relies on Cold War era tech for a vast majority of its military, perhaps this MRAP will give them some food for thought.

Not professionally that’s for sure, it seems only AI was used. Looks good from a distance but has that classic melt when you look with any level of discretion.

Depending on the quality of the internal composite armour of the Ch’onma-20, the Leopard and Abrams may actually be more valuable. We’ll see how these vehicles influence things in a few years, most likely. I’m sure they’re working on a new IFV — that’s one glaring hole they have in their vehicle arsenal. Nothing aside from a handful of BTR-80As and 14.5mm-equipped glorified APCs.

Found this on reddit, apparently the Songun-915 has an autoloader

Very nice find, although I’m not completely sure about it. We’d need a better quality image.

It also doesn’t explain why it has four crew, not three. Unless it’s a new, three-crew variant?

I think it’s more accurate to call the Cheonma-20(P) ‘Cheonma-2,’ just like you did earlier.
The ‘#’ in ‘Cheonma-2#’ likely stands for ‘호’ (Ho), which has a similar meaning to ‘No.’ (Number).

This is long overdue if you ask me! I’m tired of sticking Korean decals on Chinese vehicles lol

Unlikely, IMO.

For one, the -20 suffix likely refers to 2020, when it (the testbed) was first displayed, implying it shares the same name. If you look at all the other official long names, it seems likely that the Ch’onma-20 is called ‘2020-model heavy tank Ch’onma-20’, with -20 referring to 2020, much like the Ch’onma-92 (‘1992-model heavy tank Ch’onma-92’).

The only images showing the name Ch’onma-2X are all too blurry to make a definitive claim either way, but logically it doesn’t make sense to name the vehicle first displayed in 2020 Ch’onma-2, and then the one first displayed in 2024 Ch’onma-20.

I’m judging it on the basis of logic, which this idea has none. NK recently solidified in their government they have no intention to ever reunify with SK. For the foreseeable future they are rivals at war. That’s why some ‘certain’ nations haven’t been added together.

China (or Russia) and Japan would have more use for the few unique vehicles than making a new tree with an alliance that makes no sense with a lot of copy paste just to get the few vehicles you want. It also avoids the weirdness of nations fighting in ww2 that weren’t.

I forgot if I deleted my comment, but I actually voted yes and supported this suggestion a while back, but when you think about it more than just “yay more vehicles and nations” it really loses all it’s footing. Nations getting added for the sake of getting added, even if they’re in a state where it doesn’t make sense, is a bad idea.

There is a Korean map in this game, but you wouldn’t even be able to get into the feel of the Korean war when they’re on the same team xd

One of the most iconic periods in history and this suggestion just destroys that. I’m not sure what Smin was thinking when he said they’re thinking about adding this. At this point just adding for the sake of adding more.

They have said multiple times that they do not let politics affect additions. You can always have Nk vs SK in custom battles/User missions
