I don't think we need to be overly concerned.

Not really. They won´t attack. Their biggest strength are their advanced tunnel systems. You cannot take them with you.

North Korea can be isolated and starved into submission...oh wait.

 

[WinterBorn]

Nice tank. Be shame if someone took it out with a drone.

Is it solar or wind powered?

I am not a fan of Kim Jong Un and find his stories are pretty discounted.

The Military Watch Magazine declares this North Korean Tank the best of the world.

"The Tianma 2 appears to be North Korea’s first class of main battle tank that is a genuine world leader in its time, with its performance appearing to be highly competitive with leading rivals such as the German Leopard 2A7, Chinese VT-4 and Russian T-90M."

What makes a tank powerful? In todays technical warfare they are just armored beetles in the sights of drone missiles.

There is an article to read.

Congratulations on having the most powerful tank in a day and age when tanks are largely obsolete.

Nonsense.

 

[ZestolPastilevsky]

Nonsense.

Not nonsense. This isn't WW2 anymore. Man portable anti-tank weapons are far more common, and far more dangerous than they were then. Artillery and aircraft are also much more accurate. Ultimately, our Abrams get scrapped just the same as a T-72 when a 155mm round hits it. At least the T-72 doesn't cost an arm and a leg to produce. IFVs and APCs offer adequate protection and firepower for a fraction of the price. They also usually weigh less and have better top speeds.
