DPRK's have 2version HOME MADE BTR(8×8).
ReplyDeleteDeference is side of body.
Version1 is equipped with a side port similar to BTR80.
Version2 is equipped with a side port similar to BTR80A.
Last unknown truck: Volvo F88 (many were exported to GDR, btw.)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteThe Gereman provenience of the Volvo trucks was only my guess. Many F88 were purchased by the GDR from Sweden in the late 60ies/early 70ies. Maybe the Koreans got ahold of them, when they were phased out prior or shortly after the German unification.
ReplyDeleteBut the DPRK could also bought the trucks directly from Sweden (just like the GDR did) or got them from another third party.

That link doesn't lead to it, but I'm assuming you mean this 370mm beast:

It's a triple-barreled recoilless gun carrier, a prototype of which was built in 1984.
Has your book, NORTH KOREA'S ARMED FORCES. ON THE PATH OF SONGUN is been published?

All right keep up the good work !
ReplyDeleteShouldn't it be updated with the last vehicles shown during the military paredes of 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021? I think that in the very last years the North Koreans have shown a lot of new "gadgets".
