Abrams and Armata. It looks nothing like the ZTZ96, which actually may be an indication this is a fake prop of a tank. Frankly, the Abrams is an outdated hull from the 1970s. Design elements from the ZTZ96 and ZTZ99, like the wedge turret and hull armor, are simply more effective from a physics perspective than Abram's design. Having a flatter piece of composite armor on lower glacis instead of more angled upper glacis, is a poor design choice. As is flat instead of wedged turret faces. If the Abrams is designed with what designers know today, it would have looked more similar to the ZTZ99. It seems like NK wanted it to look closer to the Abrams and Armata instead of using the most effective design.
The hull definitely looks like the ZTZ96 to me. I would put money on the thermal sights not being there, also the guns are fake so it’s a possibility the whole thing is just a ZTZ96 with a mock up turret as well as visual addons. Wouldn’t be the biggest thing a communist dictatorship has lied about.
North Korea does export its domestically produced weapon systems, etc..from MBTs, to ballistic missiles, to ATGMs, and assault rifles, etc., etc.. They make up an incredibly small percentage if the total global arms trade-but they do export. They have very cheap and reliable enough pieces of kit that poorer States can get decent enough gear.
Sorry for the lagging of the video, my editing software was suppose to freeze the video in place, and it even looked fine when I checked it, I have no idea why it came out the way it did, so sorry again.
The fact that the guns bob up and down all the time suggests to me that something is very wrong with their stabilizers. Hell, the sway on them makes them look their they don't even have stabilizers.
Given how sudden and new it is, it's probably still going through testing and development. The same thing happened with some of its missiles in the past looking completely different from parade to completion.
There's been videos showing it in testing, from what I've seen we at least know the main gun can fire and the APS (sort of) works. The APS was tested while the tank was stationary and against an old RPG-7 rocket, so it could be of very poor quality and unable to intercept anything modern. Very low chance of it being able to intercept APFSDS.
I can't help but to my eyes the tank just looks in many details like a disguised mock up. That turret armour with the gaps for the active defense system for example seems as if it was just a thin sheet of metal mounted on the side of whatever a turret is under it. So as if to make it look more "abrameske". What also puzzles me ist the wiggling barrel. It wiggles with every single move of the tank even on plane road. Noticed that? I also don't have any idea what chassis is below all those skirts and plates. Yes, it is longer than the ones of older NK tanks, but that is all you can tell for sure.
To be sure, if the gun "wiggles", aka vibrates, as a whole, it'd be normal. Except that is not the appearance. The gun appears to vibrate as a cantilever. But that is the opposite of what you want from a tank gun. You don't want the barrel to flex significantly; otherwise you can probably kiss goodbye your accuracy. That said, it's not uncommon to parade a mockup.
bit of necropost here but if the stabilizer is disabled and the gun is locked in position it would wiggle, Also, the road might seem flat, but it will definitely have small bumps in it, plus the suspension of the tank will also be a little shaky(more common in soviet tanks due to smaller size i imagine)
Sadly over here on Brazil we don't even make tanks anymore. We are loosing to North Koreans. Our tank industry broke after US pushed the sale of abrams to saudi arabia with theyr political influence. Even when our tank "Osório" won the tank competition. Sad story.
@country baller • 29 years ago Honestly there's a higher likelihood they've gotten such components to reverse-engineer from Russia, both in that Russia used to have a severe problem with broke post-Soviet engineers selling off state secrets and shit like prototype rocket engines to feed their kids (many former Soviet engineers and such moved to Iran, the DPRK, China, etc. for work post-91), and that Russia has generally been more willing to sell equipment to the DPRK than China has. Despite the general perception, China really isn't much of an ally and would be more likely to aid in a coalition invasion than defend the DPRK. China just has a long border for private enterprises to utilize for illicit trade in a captive market, making it fairly profitable for said enterprises.

Great Analysis. I think one of the things you said is key; They want it to look like other powerful tanks and that they had to base that on what they had seen as design features in them from the visual and not from having one to copy. I thought the analysis of its potential weak spots was also quite good. Great Video.
I was thinking similar. The people starve, yet they have designed a new, modern tank. Where do they get the raw materials? How do they have access to other modern tank technology? Those sneaky DPKA are really surprising. Wouldn't it be funny if they never get the opportunity to truly test their military technology?
It's likely to be mostly a dummy or mock up. Even North Korea called it a prototype. APS is very difficult to pull off and I doubt North Korea has a working one. Besides, all those boxes are devoid of features - potentially just filling space until they can get "real" equipment for it.
@@MemeMarine The DPRK likely got access to older Soviet APS prototypes in the 90s, when post-Soviet states were broke and every other engineer was selling state secrets to feed his kids. It's probably a fairly simple APS that'd only really have all too high a success rate against slower-moving ATGMs. They've had 20-30 years to get their own copy working.
I think it's a 1/1 scale plastic model. There is no additional weathering. also equipped RC functions such as forward and backward, and simple turns. Seriously, I think that's the tank in the middle of developing based on Iran's Zulfikar-3. the development isn't completed yet, so they made a fake iron plate-welding Model intended to show off their New weapon at the parade.
My guess is, they have an intelligence branch of their military that actually pays attention to things like western video games, youtube, and information that's freely available on the internet, as well as reports from the gulf war and the like. Also, there's good chances that they're getting minor components (like the thermal sights, if they actually are such) under-the-table from china right next door, as well as potentially advice from such.

I know that the North Koreans wanted the t14 armata. The Russians probably gave them a very downgraded plan of the t 14 with it being good at looking modern 😂😂
even if they gave them whole plan it would make no difference, they can t produce all parts, i doubt they would be even able to make a barrel for t14, about rest we won t even have to talk about, t14 is to expensive for them. The per-unit cost of a T-14 MBT is estimated to be around $3.8 million.
@@fpsserbia6570 yeah, but they put everything inside they military so may be they can buy a few dozens each year and in a few years it can become a significant factor. The cost for a North Korea variant is far lower than 3.8 millions because of almost no salary to the employes and North Korea steel between 1 to 2 billions in cyber attacks each year and with even half of that money you can still buy a good number of those tanks a year. I think it's between 2.5 and 3 millions the unit. It is far less and less advanced than the real T 14 so it cost less because of less capable technology.
They're not stupid, you know. North Korea fully expects Russia to rip it off, which is why it will use the chassis as a basis and redesign the vehicle as a whole with kits it receives from China (along with stolen/reverse-engineered technology).
@@dannya1854 what I don't think so where is smart protection panels ha where and where is smart machine gun with grenade launcher they can't build modern engines how they want to build MBT
@@galaxymyt4834 I mean they neglect almost every facet of civilian life for the military so it's gotta pay out somehow even if they are extremely isolated by sanctions and paranoia.
Those are still old soviet tanks underneath. They just welded thin aluminum plates over turret, even chassis is "fake". That's why machine gun is still near main gun, that's why smoke grenade launchers are under turret "armor". It's probably on T-62 turret.
Here in India we hardly mention the Arjun because of how disgraceful it is. Will probably never see production again lol. Right now we are investing in Russian tanks because they are actually competent
This cannot be based on another tank, it has 7 rows of roadwheels, and I cannot find any other tank with 7 rows. If it is based on something, it is heavily modified.
It is feasible to extend the hull length of a tank and add additional roadwheels while still basing the design on a shorter hull. It may still be a new design, but I think you're wrong to say that it "cannot be based on another tank."
@The Doge-Emperor of Dogekind That doesnt make it based on NATO tanks. Its pretty clearly a DPRK VT-4. Thats like saying that the ZTZ-99 is based on the T-72 because it has similar looking roadwheels.
Having the thermal imagers closed makes me very sceptical if they're actually there. Probably took a cardboard box painted it tan and placed it atop of the turret.
Breaking news. New innovation as the Great Leader creates a new tank using hi tech military grade plywood. This model design has been stolen and is used on the Abrams and Armata.
The simple fact that the DPRK is still able to have a functioning defense industry despite decades of isolation from the rest of the world is amazing by itself, and even if their newer tanks don't seem to match with the Armata or Abrams it doesn't mean it's not capable of inflicting damages to any invader in case of a defensive war.
It’s because of China come on be fr now North Korea is practically an extension of the ccp. Do you really think the can fund research and manufacture all that military hardware by themselves?
"any invader in case of a defensive war." Why are you dancing around the fact the DPRK has been and continues to be a belligerent state and the orchestrators of the korean war? This isnt even controversial, its just reality.
Interesting... I wonder if any part of the tank's design might be iranian in origin, wich would explain the "westernisation" of some of those elements due to Iran having experience with Chieftain tanks... If I remember correctly, there were rumours of Iran and North Korea cooperating in their development of balistic missiles, so it might not be a stretch for them to cooperate in other things...
It actually looks like there is some blocky plates put on top of the original round turret. And the hard-kill launchers are just on the original rounded turret and thus there needs to be a opening in the plate.
I wonder if the cutouts for the coaxial MG and the active protection launchers are like that because the outside of the turret is just a facade of spaced armor panels covering the actual turret underneath.
Knowing what North Korean do, we already knew that either T-64 or T72 but with "Modified Chassis" so it looks like "Armata" or M1A2 Abrams, only by looks but performance ? pretty much the same as old T72 tanks.
@@СХП-п8ш just for a reminder the design of the tank is supposed to look like an abram 😂. But that tank is deployed somewhere else. Plus the tank is auctlly good in my opinion.
Also, let's remember that those are probably ALL the copies of that tank that exists. Basically a Soviet doctrine Tank Company (3 Platoons of 3 Tanks, vs western companies consisting of 3 Platoons of 4 tanks, this all excluding the CO and XO tanks).
The tank of this size isn't big enough to house composite armour. Its just a tin can if they want to put 4 crews in it. Besides none of those projections seems to have any mentioned devices integrated, its all metal box made to look like it has devices in it( like the low end cars with plastic interior with optional spaces to fit AC or stereo if the owner wants). N.Korea are expert in building highrise buildings that looks nice but hollow inside. So it isn't surprising to see this show off.
And the must different between these Tanks and T14-Armata is about crews position. In Armata there is no crew in turret and all crews sit side by side each other peacefully be side of Driver in front. But seems these Korean Tanks still have some room in turret for Commander and loader.
Russia's T80 and T72 upgrades are studied to be as cost effective as possible. That's why they didn't put a lot of useful stuff such as thermal sights for the commander/battle management systems/blow up panels.....
@@ksztyrix Because 90% of the time it's the ammo in the turret that is hit. So the crew can either decide to risk their life or not to load ammo in the turret. The T-90M has blow up panels for that reason.
DPRK never ceases to amaze with the way they function and the improvements.. Lets just say they impressed me - for an istolated nation... Good Job. Seriously.
It looks like they took notes from Abrams turret with slanted armor plates along with the first lepord iteration that went really fast for a tank when it was made
On the low angle shot of those active protection launchers it looks like the metal they intersect with is just a thin plate, it wouldn't surprise me if it was just spaced armor in all that bulk.
The barrel and hull are still t62 the video during the parade shows the underside of the hull and it’s still a t-62 it’s just been heavily and mostly cosmetics altered

Great Analysis. I think one of the things you said is key; They want it to look like other powerful tanks and that they had to base that on what they had seen as design features in them from the visual and not from having one to copy. I thought the analysis of its potential weak spots was also quite good. Great Video.
turret looks very t62-esque under the "armor", gun looks like russian 125
For the most heavily sanctioned nation on earth, with few resources, and a small economy, this is a very impressive first generation of a new tank.
I was thinking similar. The people starve, yet they have designed a new, modern tank. Where do they get the raw materials? How do they have access to other modern tank technology? Those sneaky DPKA are really surprising. Wouldn't it be funny if they never get the opportunity to truly test their military technology?
It's likely to be mostly a dummy or mock up. Even North Korea called it a prototype. APS is very difficult to pull off and I doubt North Korea has a working one. Besides, all those boxes are devoid of features - potentially just filling space until they can get "real" equipment for it.
Or a very clever wooden bs box
@@MemeMarine The DPRK likely got access to older Soviet APS prototypes in the 90s, when post-Soviet states were broke and every other engineer was selling state secrets to feed his kids. It's probably a fairly simple APS that'd only really have all too high a success rate against slower-moving ATGMs. They've had 20-30 years to get their own copy working.
I agree but its probably only compares to the Type 85

@@sus5976 yeah no shit
Me : wait a minute this isn’t a Abrams
I think it's a 1/1 scale plastic model.
There is no additional weathering. also equipped RC functions such as forward and backward, and simple turns.
Seriously, I think that's the tank in the middle of developing based on Iran's Zulfikar-3.
the development isn't completed yet, so they made a fake iron plate-welding Model intended to show off their New weapon at the parade.
If they actually pulled of creating that tank I'm impressed. For north korean tech and capabilities, this would be a huge leap.
Its a tank but with fake armor over the top
I wouldn't be surprised if all the "modern technology" is fake on this tank
Those glitzy equipment on that new tank probably just a make up
It's not really that surprising, perhaps they have previous generations of thermal imaging and I'm sure it's not that hard to get.
It looks like it’s made out of plastic
@@bryancruz8782 I'm pretty sure some of the more sensitive equipment will have plastic components, just like everywhere else in the world....
@@sovietcupcakes328 true
I will never understand how a country like north Korea could develop a tank that's better than Arjum mk 2.
Jonathan Smith it's just plastic and cardboard
@@sovietchadster907 [citation] 'trust me bro'
My guess is, they have an intelligence branch of their military that actually pays attention to things like western video games, youtube, and information that's freely available on the internet, as well as reports from the gulf war and the like. Also, there's good chances that they're getting minor components (like the thermal sights, if they actually are such) under-the-table from china right next door, as well as potentially advice from such.
@@sovietchadster907 that would still be better than Arjun!!!
@@SCComega Honestly there's a higher likelihood they've gotten such components to reverse-engineer from Russia, both in that Russia used to have a severe problem with broke post-Soviet engineers selling off state secrets and shit like prototype rocket engines to feed their kids (many former Soviet engineers and such moved to Iran, the DPRK, China, etc. for work post-91), and that Russia has generally been more willing to sell equipment to the DPRK than China has. Despite the general perception, China really isn't much of an ally and would be more likely to aid in a coalition invasion than defend the DPRK. China just has a long border for private enterprises to utilize for illicit trade in a captive market, making it fairly profitable for said enterprises.
I know that the North Koreans wanted the t14 armata.
The Russians probably gave them a very downgraded plan of the t 14 with it being good at looking modern 😂😂
initial sketches of the t-14
even if they gave them whole plan it would make no difference, they can t produce all parts, i doubt they would be even able to make a barrel for t14, about rest we won t even have to talk about, t14 is to expensive for them.
The per-unit cost of a T-14 MBT is estimated to be around $3.8 million.
@@fpsserbia6570 yeah, but they put everything inside they military so may be they can buy a few dozens each year and in a few years it can become a significant factor. The cost for a North Korea variant is far lower than 3.8 millions because of almost no salary to the employes and North Korea steel between 1 to 2 billions in cyber attacks each year and with even half of that money you can still buy a good number of those tanks a year.
I think it's between 2.5 and 3 millions the unit.
It is far less and less advanced than the real T 14 so it cost less because of less capable technology.
They're not stupid, you know. North Korea fully expects Russia to rip it off, which is why it will use the chassis as a basis and redesign the vehicle as a whole with kits it receives from China (along with stolen/reverse-engineered technology).
It looks cheap as hell, almost like a narco tank
it's almost like they saw your previous video and were like damn this man has some good points haha
This channel is very underatted
Me: Wait no, that's an Abrams, scratch that, it's a British autoloader, wait, it's a T14, huh? Now it's a Bradley?

@@galaxymyt4834 I mean they neglect almost every facet of civilian life for the military so it's gotta pay out somehow even if they are extremely isolated by sanctions and paranoia.
Those are still old soviet tanks underneath. They just welded thin aluminum plates over turret, even chassis is "fake".
That's why machine gun is still near main gun, that's why smoke grenade launchers are under turret "armor". It's probably on T-62 turret.
"600 mm of armor penetration"
India: "help!"
Here in India we hardly mention the Arjun because of how disgraceful it is. Will probably never see production again lol. Right now we are investing in Russian tanks because they are actually competent
T-14 with Abrams style Glacis
And Abram turret
Its not an armata when the turret still have crews
@@raff257 Never. Look at the lower hull.
@@Cartoonman154 as he said it looks like abrams
With Bradley side missles
This cannot be based on another tank, it has 7 rows of roadwheels, and I cannot find any other tank with 7 rows. If it is based on something, it is heavily modified.
It is feasible to extend the hull length of a tank and add additional roadwheels while still basing the design on a shorter hull. It may still be a new design, but I think you're wrong to say that it "cannot be based on another tank."
@The Doge-Emperor of Dogekind Yeah but how is it based on a NATO tank? Is NATO sending their tanks to DPRK for them to reverse engineer??
The iranian bootleg Abrams Has the same number of roadwheels and very simmilar hull
Have you checked craigslist agricultural tractor advertisements?
@The Doge-Emperor of Dogekind That doesnt make it based on NATO tanks. Its pretty clearly a DPRK VT-4.
Thats like saying that the ZTZ-99 is based on the T-72 because it has similar looking roadwheels.
“Appears” is the magic word in this 😉
Having the thermal imagers closed makes me very sceptical if they're actually there. Probably took a cardboard box painted it tan and placed it atop of the turret.
I love how confused Kim looked while saluting for that parade.
This tank looks surprisingly better than I expected to come out of North Korea
Why does everyone keep comparing this tank to Armata. To me it looks more like an Abrams, especially with the front of the turret.
Really interested to see how the next gen of tanks turn out, and see how other countries react to the T14. Personal favourite is Japan's type 10.
Breaking news. New innovation as the Great Leader creates a new tank using hi tech military grade plywood. This model design has been stolen and is used on the Abrams and Armata.
Some say that the desert camo suggests that its open for export.
New Korean War breaks out
Tan camo in woodland environment: bruh
9:22 "buns"
When I first saw the new North Korean tank I knew RedEffect is gonna make video about it.
If Walmart made M1 Abrams
The simple fact that the DPRK is still able to have a functioning defense industry despite decades of isolation from the rest of the world is amazing by itself, and even if their newer tanks don't seem to match with the Armata or Abrams it doesn't mean it's not capable of inflicting damages to any invader in case of a defensive war.
It’s because of China come on be fr now North Korea is practically an extension of the ccp. Do you really think the can fund research and manufacture all that military hardware by themselves?
Their tanks have anti aircraft weapons.
China funding it.
"any invader in case of a defensive war." Why are you dancing around the fact the DPRK has been and continues to be a belligerent state and the orchestrators of the korean war? This isnt even controversial, its just reality.
Interesting... I wonder if any part of the tank's design might be iranian in origin, wich would explain the "westernisation" of some of those elements due to Iran having experience with Chieftain tanks... If I remember correctly, there were rumours of Iran and North Korea cooperating in their development of balistic missiles, so it might not be a stretch for them to cooperate in other things...
Bro, it looks like the M1 Abrams Mega Blocks set.
The barrel has a strange movement so it might be a mock-up and it's too smokey for a modern tank.
It actually looks like there is some blocky plates put on top of the original round turret. And the hard-kill launchers are just on the original rounded turret and thus there needs to be a opening in the plate.
That is a Chinese surplus T-72 with painted cardboard over top.
hahaha
I wonder if the cutouts for the coaxial MG and the active protection launchers are like that because the outside of the turret is just a facade of spaced armor panels covering the actual turret underneath.
True. The way those smoke launchers are positioned it looks like an outer casing over the real turret.
looks like if someone give the tank a costume XD, like the real tank is hidding under the frame just to scare everybody
North Korea when russia refuses to give them t14s: fine I'll make them myself
I believe putin provide blue print to nk as a reaction to clinton support for ukraine.
Its not just the tank but also thd ballistic missile
So the presence of slat armor grills on either side of the rear of the hull means it resembles Armata?
Those are installed on T90S and T90MS as well.
Mom i want abrams
We got abrams at home
Abrams at home:
there was plenty of new afv's (155mm spg, the sriker look alike, etc) presented in the parade, you should talk about them too
It looks like an Abrams turret being put on T14 armata hull.
The chassis is actually based on a pirate copy of the T72 , its clear when you see the engine deck.
Knowing what North Korean do, we already knew that either T-64 or T72 but with "Modified Chassis" so it looks like "Armata" or M1A2 Abrams, only by looks but performance ? pretty much the same as old T72 tanks.
I really want you to make a review on the Chinese Vt4 tank.

@@wasntprepared thx I know
1. take an old soviet era tank
2. put some cardboard on it to look like a t-14
3. world leading military
It looks like an Abrahams that wasn't fed enough.
Man, Kim just created a T-14 base and a m1 abrams turret????????????
Also, let's remember that those are probably ALL the copies of that tank that exists. Basically a Soviet doctrine Tank Company (3 Platoons of 3 Tanks, vs western companies consisting of 3 Platoons of 4 tanks, this all excluding the CO and XO tanks).
The tank of this size isn't big enough to house composite armour. Its just a tin can if they want to put 4 crews in it. Besides none of those projections seems to have any mentioned devices integrated, its all metal box made to look like it has devices in it( like the low end cars with plastic interior with optional spaces to fit AC or stereo if the owner wants).
N.Korea are expert in building highrise buildings that looks nice but hollow inside. So it isn't surprising to see this show off.
And the must different between these Tanks and T14-Armata is about crews position. In Armata there is no crew in turret and all crews sit side by side each other peacefully be side of Driver in front. But seems these Korean Tanks still have some room in turret for Commander and loader.
Damn, NK managed to put thermal sights on both their gunner and commander , but the russians cant get it right on any of their T72 or T80 series?
Or they put a mock-up.
Even if it is thermal sights, it’s probably 1st generation at best
Russia's T80 and T72 upgrades are studied to be as cost effective as possible.
That's why they didn't put a lot of useful stuff such as thermal sights for the commander/battle management systems/blow up panels.....
@@la-zrider2749 Why put blowup panels in T-72 or T-80 when you have ammo in carousel
@@ksztyrix Because 90% of the time it's the ammo in the turret that is hit.
So the crew can either decide to risk their life or not to load ammo in the turret.
The T-90M has blow up panels for that reason.
incredible what they managed to achieve, by bolting on some steel plates and crates
DPRK never ceases to amaze with the way they function and the improvements.. Lets just say they impressed me - for an istolated nation... Good Job. Seriously.
It looks like they took notes from Abrams turret with slanted armor plates along with the first lepord iteration that went really fast for a tank when it was made
Surprisingly good looking for an NK tank, really like the aesthetics.
If Armata and Abrams had a son :
For all we know, those might just be T 62's fitted with cardboard boxes to look more modern

@@galaxymyt4834 North Korean bot?
OMG KOREAN T-14 ARMATA?!
Lord you've been remade, how does it feel now
On the low angle shot of those active protection launchers it looks like the metal they intersect with is just a thin plate, it wouldn't surprise me if it was just spaced armor in all that bulk.
The barrel and hull are still t62 the video during the parade shows the underside of the hull and it’s still a t-62 it’s just been heavily and mostly cosmetics altered
