It looks like a T-62 with random shit welded on to make it look modern.

When you drew tanks as a child and put as many weapons as possible on top of the turret

"Modern" and "North Korean" are 2 terms that do not go together.

Iran: nice tank I'll buy 900 North Korean: with what money? Iran: Oil North Korean: SOLD

Reduce Reuse Recycle -North Korean Armory

Imagine Gaijin adding these to War Thunder

Externally mounted armaments: exists HE: you've yeed your last haw

Let me save you 12 minutes Answer: no they are far from a threat

It would be interesting, wether Kim would fit trough the hatch.

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 Even so it's still outdated.

We're talking about North Korea, even a fridge is an alien technology there

North Korea flexing its tanks USAF: Heh heh, A10 goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

Still these tanks have rounds that have more penetration than the arjun

Nah, it can't even scratch the Bob's Semple tank's paint job.

Y'know, anti-air weapons on a tank is actually quite smart, since most tanks are taken out by air or other tanks

i can imagine how board north koreans are especially since they have been seeing the same thing every parade for 70 years or more

North Korea has a great army for the 1950s.

Hey, all North Korea jokes aside; they put on one hell of a cool parade.

They should make a unified Korean tech tree in war thunder. They'd probably have the most diverse equipment of any nation and they'd have a healthy number of exclusives as well.

General- “The supreme leader has asked how we will make these T-62s look like our own modern tanks! How will you do it?” Lead Designer- “We will add a dual MG turret.” General- “Needs more.” Lead designer- “Fine how about an ATGM launcher?” General- “Better but not quite there yet.” Lead Designer- “There is simply nothing else-“ Intern- “What about SAM missiles?” General- “🤔... It’s perfect!” Lead Designer- “🤨🤨🤨... WTF”

Those "laser warning " devices only warn the crew that they are gonna die "in a moment". Which is LOL funny!

The World had might as well save itself a lot of pain and just Surrender to the sheer force of the North Korean Army.

"Modern North Korean Tanks. Are they a threat?" Not for long.-Some Pilot flying a F-35

"Are they a threat?" Well it all depends against whom. Against poor countries that don't have much of a technologised military I guess they would fare well, but against current leading powers, no chance. EDIT: I just quickly selected some countries that I thought have have no substancial military. After being notified that I chose bad examples, I did some research and edited my comment. Sorry for the mistake.

North Korea must buy the bob semple.Everybody knows that the bob semple is stronger than god

North korea: Our tanks are superior to all tanks!!! Bob semple: hold my meat pie

That lower plate makes my german self disgusted

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.

Affords tank: Affords 360p quality camera: Kim jong un: ITS OVER BUDGET!

Is it possible a lot of the add ons could just be facades to make their tanks look stronger than they actually are?

I love the secondary weapon aproach on MBTs, ive always thought it qould be cool to slap ATGM and AAGMs on a tank, as well as those dual heavy machineguns, this looks amazing

The US military be like: “write that down! Write that down!”

Please make Bob semple tank, it can destroy abrams in a single shot. There was a saying in US army that if anyone spots BOB semple on battlefield they should throw their weapons and surrender

North Korea: behold our invincible tanks! F22 Raptor: hold my JDAM...

Hey red blue here !! Keep doing good work and I am learning effect from you for Blue effect

Glad you're getting sponsors, my dude. You make good content.

I loved the video! I'd love a review of the Yugoslav M-84 MBT if you find the topic interesting enough

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.

one of the most effective videos on this channel!

0:46 "Realistic physic" As if *gun barrels clipping through walls* Its not a bad thing tho

TELL ME IS K2 BLACK PANTHER COMING IN 1.97

I very much enjoy your videos

First of all, any tank that works on a fundamental level is a threat.

Short answer? No. Long answer? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Even the footage looks like Cold War vintage

They just neet to start their engines all at once for one minute and there will be no more gasoline in North Korea...

So... what you're telling me is that these tanks are not powered by the tormented souls of dead children and the tears of their grieving parents? ...Huh.

"Are North Korean Tanks a Threat?" Only to the crews. They're like Ronson cigarette lighters, "Lights first strike, everytime!"

Just imagine these things trying to fight with M1a2 and K2 kek.

In the hands of a good crew, any tank is a threat, even one from WW2.

I use to work at TACOM... I'll have to research your Tanks and it would be an honor to meet the Tank Commander!

Hi Red, could you please maybe do a video on the South African Olifant tanks? Thanks

That's kinda crazy that tank limitations are relatively easy to identify once basic concepts are understood. Too me i always assumed tank superiority was based on the paint job.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT VID. 👍👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

6:00 something I feel your point on NK using dedicated anti-aircraft systems misses is that in a theoretical war they are likely to face much more superior airpower in the form of strike craft, something that cannot be effectively engaged with an MBTs main gun.

At long last! Thank you very much for this video, RedEffect! Perhaps, you can also make a video about Iranian tanks? 😁

Crazy how much analysis can be done by a youtuber. Imagine the info the pentagon has and their capabilities

Good vid. Did they just upgarde T62 or make their own?

Best Korea will soon conquer the world and restore peace and prosperity! Praise the great leader!

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit. A tank with 2 ATGM's, 2 Medium MG's and two light SAM's on the roof? Why not throw in an ice cream maker?

The missiles on the tank actually are bulsae 2. A copy of konkurs if I remember correctly. Hamas and hezbollah are equiped with. The guidance system is mounted at the top of the main gun.

Real Nice!

A threat well no but actually in a way yes because i don't want to take any chance with any tank

lots of t62s

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

This channel's guy : Are they a threat? Javelin : I would like to speak with you.

These tanks are cardboard cutouts on to of a vw jetta.

9:43 This may sound kinda stupid, and probably is, but look at how the leading tank's gun doesnt have that "cross" on the end of the barrel, while all the others do (the line normal to the center of the barrel)

Every dream of an A10 pilot... tanks lining up

Each video you craft causes people to watch more total hours than a single human lives. A excellent comment on your fine effort.

Great video. Can you do one on Russian or Chinese APC's?

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.

Oh no, technology from 40 years ago!

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).

Are they a threat? Yeah to those who use them. :-)

"Everything kills"

I think a separate launcher for atgms has a massive advantage it can fire a atgm and the main gun in quick succession

Would make some neat additions to the Chinese tech tree in War Thunder tho. Especially the later Chōnma Ho variants with the AAMs

plz do a video on smoothbore vs rifled gun, how they r different and there ammo types

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

You should have had that NK Marching to the sound of the beeges

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.

I have a suspicion these tanks are what they are because the North Korean military leadership isn't *completely* insane. They expect that whenever they get invaded, their army would be squashed by the invading force in an open battle. For me, these tanks look like to be the "cheap mobile fort" kind of tanks. They aren't expected to last, they'll be hidden and/or fortified at key defensive positions. The mobility is there so they can retreat before their positions get swarmed. Even 40-50 years old tanks can take out the best modern tanks up close from a hidden position, especially if they know the weak spots. Within 30-50 meters, even a T-34/85 isn't funny, if it shoots the backside of your turret and kills half the crew, not to mention an APC can be easily taken out by that relic just the same. In other words, their tactics can be now easily seen. They will most probably use either flat-out guerilla warfare, or said tactic mixed with Zhukov's tactic from Kursk, fighting a retreating battle while drawing the enemy deeper and deeper into defensive lines. They don't hide this either and since there would not be any relief force from an ally, or from a secret army, the goal is simple. They know they will lose open war with South Korea and her allies and the North Korean Army is nothing more than the means to make the South pay dearly for any advancement into North Korea. Since South Korea isn't willing to pay such a price, the North can continue its existence, even though this is nothing but borrowed time. Their doctrine is to make themselves too scary and too costly to invade in contrast of what the victors would get from this victory. For this reason, these tanks aren't as bad as they seem since they are more than capable of doing what they were designed for.

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

The largest factor on the performance of these tanks it the nutrition level of the crew for sustained operation.

That piece hanging on front, between the tracks is a sheet metal...:-)))

North Korea must have offered you rice and corn to do this video huh red effect?

Does it even work outside of parades ?

Is there any record of these actually seeing combat anywhere? I'd love to see the pretty orange colors when the turret brews up.

My RNG, right after he finished the sponsor part, i got an ad interrupting the part of video that was another ad

That one North Korean defector: *my whole life’s been a lie*

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

Always like your vids. This is the second time I watch it. There no info, that’s because there’s nothing there. LMFAO

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.

Honestly the tanks are about as threatening as North Korea itself. They’re not that threatening

The North Korean military has somehow made goose-stepping look pathetic.

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.

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.
