North Korea's Semi Secret Pokphunho MBT


Recommended Posts

I know little of NK's tank force, and knew nothing of the Pokphunho ("Tiger Clan" or "Storm Tiger") but since it's a (cough) modern tank, It seems most appropriate to post here. Be advised the English translation is wretched, but you should still be able to understand what's being said.

I have a soft spot for North Korea because of their home grown tanks.  They are really trying to pull themselves up by their own boot straps.  I love that expression tho not because it seems legit to me, but as something that is obviously physically impossible even as a metaphor.  One can only change shapes to climb, and move around the environment...   Anyway time for everyone to hate on me for being a secret NK....  root for er.  ;)

Exact pronunciation would more close to "Pock-Poong-Ho" (Pok-Pung-Ho is fine as well), and "Cheon-Ma-Ho". IMO Pokphunho &  Chhonmaho is like speaking Illinois to Illenois, but oh well, whatever. 

Wiki described that the new tanks line after 2010 is the Pokpungho 2 and later variants, but some study says that they are a new tank named "Sun-Goon-Ho" (or "Sun-Koon-Ho")
