    Is this tank fully designed in Korea or based on or inspired by some Soviet tank?

      The tank started as direct copy of the Soviet T-62 and Syrian import T-62’s, though it has seen roughly 5 major refits and upgrades over the years, but due to North Korea’s secretive nature about its tank fleet, little to none is known about the Chonma.

        Thank you comrade, it looks pretty nice. I like these oval shapes of Soviet tanks much more than sharp lines in the modern ones.
