M2002 Tank (East)

The M2002 Pokpung-ho, also known as the “Storm Tiger,” is a North Korean main battle tank (MBT) believed to have been developed in the early 2000s. It is designed and manufactured domestically by North Korea’s military industry. The tank is named after the Korean name for the white tiger, a symbol of Korean folklore.

Details about the Pokpung-ho tank are limited due to the secretive nature of North Korea’s military, but it is believed to be heavily influenced by Soviet and Chinese tank designs, particularly the T-62 and T-72 tanks. It’s also speculated to feature some elements of the Ch’onma-ho series of tanks, which itself was based on Soviet tank designs.

While the exact specifications and capabilities of the Pokpung-ho tank are not publicly disclosed, it’s thought to have a 125mm smoothbore gun, a powerful engine, composite armor, and possibly advanced fire control systems. However, without official confirmation or detailed analysis, much of this information remains speculative.

Overall, the Pokpung-ho tank represents North Korea’s efforts to develop and maintain indigenous military capabilities, particularly in armored warfare, despite international sanctions and limited access to advanced technology.
