Looks like radars and launchers for hard-kill APS system too. Impressive.

 

[Michael]

Was he was also a member of the Chinese communist party, before the Korean War?

Yes.
Choi Hyun is a CCP member.
Prior to the Japanese surrender in 1945, he participated in anti-Japanese activities in the Northeast China Resistance League.
After Japan's surrender in 1945, he returned to North Korea with Kim Il Sung and founded the DPRK.
In modern times, his son is probably better known than him. His son's name is Choi Yong-hae.

Any information on the propulsion?

There is nothing to offer at this time.

Bro, how are the fking doing this shit, are they getting help from Russian or Chinese Engineers? Every time I see Best Korea come out with stuff that looks legit. lol

Currently confirmed:

Almost all of the ship's weapons systems are of Russian origin. Some of the weapons were supplied directly by Russia; others were supplied with technology by Russia and manufactured by the DPRK itself.

The source of the ship's radar technology is a mystery.
China will not provide North Korea with military-grade advanced radar technology or products. Russia does not currently possess the radar technology demonstrated by the ship.
Some Chinese military enthusiasts have analyzed that the ship's radar technology may be an improved imitation of Chinese civilian radar technology by North Korean research institutes. The relevant Chinese regulators are aware of this, but have not prevented it. ------ This approach is the customary way for the DPRK to acquire relevant technologies from China.

Why not? lol

 

[zhanlong]

Why not? lol

North Korea was sanctioned by China for its nuclear test

 

[Michael]

Why not? lol

The real answer to this question is both simple and complex.

However, it is difficult for the people of South Asia to understand this kind of thinking, based on different cultural concepts. If we discuss this topic in depth, it will cause great controversy.

I will use a simple example. If you can understand this question in depth, you will understand “Why doesn't China provide North Korea with advanced technology for military use?”

China and India introduced Su-30 almost at the same time, Russia provided India with the top version of Su-30MKI, which had all the advanced technologies at that time, while China bought the most basic version of Su-30MKK.​

Many years have passed.​

China has already surpassed the Su-27 family. China's fully indigenously developed and produced J-16 has surpassed all fighters of the entire Su-27 family.​

So far, India is still unable to complete the autonomous production of Su-30MKI.​

​

Decades ago, China customized the JF-17 for Pakistan and carefully taught them to build it. But till today, Pakistan is still unable to produce any subsystem of JF-17. They can only produce most of the JF-17 airframes and the core structural components still need to be supplied by CAC.​

​

North Korea, an extremely closed and backward country.​

The HGV technology is a Chinese monopoly and will never be made available to any country. North Korea actually copied the DF-17 just by relying on the appearance of the DF-17 released by China and some civilian technical information.​

Putting aside political diplomacy, let's talk about military strategy alone. North Korea's threat to China is far greater than India's military threat to China. If you can understand this theory, you will understand the answer you want to know.

Probably these missiles and the Pongae-6 radar:

The DPRK’s latest main battle tank was revealed. The specific performance parameters are currently unknown.

apparently this new version of the North Korean tank has a much longer cannon barrel

Btw, this is a very interesting ship. Any information on the propulsion? I didn’t see any information in the following video on the ship, and the following channel is a decent defense channel, sounds very measured in its assessments.

Yeah its abnormally long, almost looks like artillary guns.

It is a real shift since North Korea started doubling down on support for Russia. We have to temper that Russia also hires North Koreans for the labor market in the Russian Far East.

The Russians also seem to want to keep that part of Asia a place where any potential Russian adversary is bogged down, dealing with a more powerful North Korea.

Russia, North Korea, China. The relationship between these three countries is very delicate.

Sometimes, in some areas, the three countries will work closely together. And sometimes, in some areas, there are some "invisible wars" between the three countries.

Russia will use North Korea to clamp down on China; China will also use North Korea to clamp down on Russia. And North Korea will also maneuver in the middle to gain its own interests.
However, if any external force attempts to infiltrate or influence the relationship between the three countries, it will be jointly confronted by the three countries.

Throughout the long history, the relationship between the three countries has always been like this.

Yes, this balance has become more clear in the past few years, especially with the rise of Kim Jung Un and the death of his half brother and the story about his nephew.

Internet message:
Satellite images show that North Korea's second destroyer is under rapid construction...

 

[ST1976]

Are those mockups?

How's going bro? How's day?
