History[]
Class: Main Battle Tank
Developed: 2009
Service: 2009+
Vehicles Built: 100-300 (sources vary wildly)
Operators : North Korea
The Seongun-915 (also called Pokpung-ho or "Storm Tiger" by some sources) is one of the latest variants of the mysterious North-Korean line of tanks that reaches back to the 1970s and started as a copy of the Soviet T-62 medium tank. This line is typically referred to as "Chonma-ho". Over the decades that followed, the vehicle was upgraded with various indigenous components, reverse-engineered from newer Russian vehicles such as the T-72 MBT.
According to some North Korean accounts, the Seon-gun-915 MBT is a heavily modernized offshoot of the Chonma-ho series and consists of a Chonma hull with a brand new cast turret installed on it. The tank is allegedly armed with a 125mm gun, which is quite interesting because instead of copying the 2A46 loading mechanism, the gun is apparently manually loaded from a massive bustle-mounted ammo rack. Additionally, the tank is armed with a two-tube Bulsae-3 ("Firebird-3") ATGM launcher, which is said to be the equivalent of the Russian Kornet ATGM (or a copy thereof).
It also allegedly has some kind of composite armor and ERA, giving it the frontal protection equivalent of 900mm with additional 500mm of protection versus HEAT rounds provided by the ERA kit. However, this is likely just propaganda. Despite the claims of its advanced designs, the combat value of this tank is likely low and it is certainly no match for the South Korean Black Panther.

| This tank's armor is very likely derived from the one of the Soviet T-62, although it has since been since its introduction reinforced with some composite layers and rudimentary ERA. As such, it is sufficient to protect the crew from Cold War era ammunition, although it stands no chance against modern threats. | |||||||
