No, North Korea’s Tank Isn’t the Best in the World. Not Even Close.

Funny how the feeble minded will let dictators lie to them when it's not the dictators life on the line.

"A new article claims the North Korean People’s Army Pokpung-ho IV main battle tank has the “most terrible firepower in the world.” A closer examination of the tank, however, reveals a tank that doesn’t quite live up to its name of “Storm Tiger,” the literal translation of Pokpung-ho.

➡ You love badass tanks. So do we. Let’s nerd out over them together.
North Korea is one of the poorest countries in the world, with its gross domestic product surpassed even by the tiny El Salvador. Despite this, the notoriously secretive and repressive nation has built up an impressive arsenal of nuclear weapons and missiles that has largely eclipsed its formerly impressive conventional forces.

One of the most recent developments in North Korean ground forces is the Pokpung-ho IV, also known as the Songun 915. North Korea has developed 11 types of tanks in the last 40 years, with many being improvements on the previous design. This evolutionary approach works best for a poor country with only sporadic access to tank technology, and North Korea develops improved versions as it masters tech already in service around the world. This means Pyonyang’s tank corps is consistently bringing up the rear in tank development."

Robert I am not a tanker, I am pretty sure I have never been inside a functioning tank, however, I have absolutely zero problem believing that.
