The new tank from the DPRK, shown for the first time last year, is often compared to the T-14. Very often it is even called "Armata" in North Korean," however, if this combat vehicle is similar to a promising Russian tank, it is only externally. The main difference is an inhabited tower with a crew, the "fourteenth", as you know, has a driver, a gunner, an operator and a commander in the front of the hull, in a protected capsule.
It should be recognized that the designers of the Country of morning freshness have worked hard to create their "tank of the future".
If we carefully consider the recently published photos from the weapons exhibition held in Pyongyang, we can see that the roof of the tower has received enhanced booking, part of the ammunition is apparently located in a niche, at the same time it is possible that there is an automatic loader with more powerful sub-caliber shells.

For better protection, there is a complex of optoelectronic countermeasures with laser and radar radiation sensors, which are integrated with a grenade launcher complex that creates aerosol interference.
Apparently, for the first time, the tank received modern sights with thermal imaging channels, which dramatically increases the possibility of conducting combat operations at night.
To destroy enemy targets at long distances, there are missiles placed in a container launcher.

However, at present it is difficult to say how much these tanks are brought to mind. However, in the case of their serial production, they will be able to resist both the American Abrams and the South Korean K2 Black Panther more successfully than the previously produced predecessors, which were the development of the T-62.
