The DPRK's military industry, in addition to missiles of various types, is currently independently producing armored vehicles. The main battle tanks "Jeonma-216" are also known by the Western designation M2002. When they were first shown at a parade in Pyongyang, they were given the nickname "Death Harvesters".
The thing is that in addition to the main, as it is believed, 125-mm cannon and a paired machine gun, they received a remotely controlled module with two automatic grenade launchers, which allows them to effectively fight enemy infantry and other targets.

A folding launcher for two small HT-16PGJ anti-aircraft missiles is mounted on the right side of the tower. A container with two Bulsae-3 ATGMS with laser guidance and a range of up to 5,500 meters is visible on the left.
The tank is equipped with an automated fire control system, as well as television cameras that allow the crew to use the entire weapons complex.

The tower has laser radiation detection sensors and mortars that fire grenades, creating aerosol curtains. The engine power can reach up to 1100 hp.
According to military experts, the Jeonma-216 may well fight with export versions of American Abrams tanks, as well as with German Leopard 2, not to mention Leopard 1. He can burn British Challenger 2, Polish RT-91, Ukrainian T-64BV and T-72AMT.
