During a recent visit to the Academy of Defense Sciences, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected various models of weapons systems developed by the country's defense industry, including a new wheeled tank destroyer.

The new combat vehicle, resembling the Chinese-made ST1 8x8 tank destroyer or the Italian Centauro, is based on the M-2020 8x8 armored personnel carrier.

The main wheeled armored vehicle of the DPRK army is the M-2010, which is almost identical to the original Russian BTR-80. At the same time, the recently launched M-2020 platform already bears traces of Western influence (which is typical for the development of North Korean armored vehicles in recent years), imitating many components of the M1126 Stryker.

M-2020 in the role of SPTRK

Based on the M-2020 chassis, the new tank destroyer is equipped with a 105 mm rifled cannon, a 12.7mm twin machine gun and a 7.62mm machine gun mounted in a remotely controlled turret.

This tank destroyer is probably designed to enhance the firepower and mobility of the DPRK's rapid deployment forces.

- it is noted in the edition of the Defense Blog.

As indicated, North Korea continues to develop its military infrastructure, despite international [actually Western] sanctions.

The demonstration of the new tank destroyer shows the technological achievements of the DPRK and the desire to increase its military potential
