North Korean leader Kim 'drives' new tank during mock battle

Surprised he could fit through the hatch.

I was thinking the same thing.

How’d the wedge him in there and how much lube was needed to get him out?

As for the quality of the tank, it really depends on how much US tech they “borrowed”.

Otherwise it is just a mobile crematorium like the Russian garbage.

Porco Rosso in real life

Maybe we can recreated the scene where he eats an RPG-7 in “The Interview”?

Que the song “Fireworks” by Kathy Perry!

suddenly i think of Katy Perry...do you ever feel, like a plastic bag... " The Interview"

If only we could show comic strips on this website! Just imagine the fun we could have with Kim!

I'm hoping this means he will be on the front line if he tries to start something.

Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote in his new memoir that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un told him in 2018 that he needed US forces in South Korea to protect himself from China. Kim "said that he needed the Americans in South Korea to protect him from the CCP, and that the CCP needs the Americans out so they can treat the peninsula like Tibet and Xinjiang,"

Gotta live the comedy value Little Rocket Man provides! Fat nothing that he is.

Looking at the photos, the DPRK Army is the most pathetic and unfit for service military I have ever seen. Looks like they are all stunted for growth!

They probably had to reinforce the suspension to haul his girth around the course.

There is a lot be learned from the photos of these new tanks. The Lockheed Javelin will render their tank a heap of burnt out rusted and twisted steal. Just ask the Russians over in Ukraine.

But can he also ride one of his missiles? lol

All I'm going to say is... look at the North Korean soldiers in the pictures. The Kim regime is so focused on the hardware, he completely ignored the "software" needed to run the hardware. Things are not going to go well for him in any kind of conflict.

Does anyone know if they’re still broadcasting on Short Wave from Radio Pyongyang?

I wonder what they talk about on there now-days.

china is still at it, with British sounding announcers, lol

That tank looks old and blocky

They had to make a new model that would fit him?

It looks more like a modern western tank than the Russian stuff DPRK fields. Look at images of the most recent Leopard 2A6/2A7, M-1A2, British Challenger, French Leclerc, the South Korean K-2 or the Japanese Type 10. Most if not all of these have replaceable composite armor panels. The Russians to this day haven't figured out composite armor, relying instead on reactive armor, so it would be interesting to know what the turrets of this new DPRK tank are made of. Seeing reactive armor panels on the turret makes me think it isn't using the kinds of advanced composites found on the best western tanks.

That was probably true before the infamous US-DPRK summit in Vietnam. Ever since the time of his grandfather Kim Il Sung, DPRK leadership has desired normalized relations with the US as a hedge against both the PRC and USSR/Russia. The Kims viewed both as unreliable, and especially Russia after they abandoned Vietnam during the Chinese invasion despite the two nations having a mutual defense pact. But that summit in Vietnam appears to have caused Kim the Fat to rethink his relations with both PRC and Russia, throwing his nation's lot in with them and abandoning any notions of ever having amicable relations with the west.
