North Korea is armed with both 152-mm self-propelled artillery units and the latest self-propelled guns with 155 mm guns.
If we talk about the former, then this is a whole line of combat vehicles, such as Tokchon M-1974, Tokchon M-1985, Chuchepo M-1991. By today's standards, they are no longer considered modern, and therefore it was decided to develop a new system with characteristics that would meet the most modern requirements.

One can only assume when work began on the promising self-propelled gun, but it was first shown at the parade in Pyongyang in 2018. Therefore, in the West it received the designation M2018.
Later, its real name became known: Juche-107. It is believed that a firing range of 40 kilometers is not a problem for her. It is possible that even more long-range ammunition has been created. The ACS is equipped with a radar ballistic station, which increases the accuracy of firing.
It has sensors that detect enemy laser radiation, coupled with installations that shoot protective grenades to create aerosol clouds.

A satellite navigation antenna and a paired external installation consisting of 30 mm automatic grenade launchers are visible.
It is believed that the Juche-107 meets the best Western standards in terms of its capabilities.
