Comrade Kim Jong Un driving a tank
Comrade Kim Jong Un driving a tank
He reviewed the tank crews involved in the match and encourage them.
The tankmen who were greatly encouraged by the great brilliant commander's inspection, an expression of his deep trust, alongside their glorious colors on the training ground, extended deep gratitude to him.
After reviewing the tank crews, he mounted a new-type main battle tank, took the control lever and drove the tank himself, adding to the high militant spirit of the tankmen and instilling in them thoroughgoing outlooks on the enemy and war.
All the officers and men of the tank units raised stormy cheers of hurrah, looking up to the invincible and iron-willed brilliant commander.

Its funny to me that driving a tank with your head sticking out the hatch makes you look like such a huge goober while at the same time driving a tank with your head sticking out of the hatch makes you feel freaking awesome.
I didn’t even see him there until you pointed it out lol
Common wisdom holds that this image ruined this guy's presidential run.Dukakis in a tank hat, the Dean scream, Al Gore...
The exact opposite effect to standing out the command hatch.
Everyone: "what a commanding figure they pose, nobly astride their steel horse of war, a modern knight!"
You: "what a fucking idiot i am in the do nothing chair standing around as the tallest thing in 5km in any direction, saying "please mr sniper, the officer is right here!"

Lying western media is doubting that Kim Jong Un drove the tank himself.
What, they don't think it's feasible he could have just learned to drive a tank at some point? Kim is constantly photographed around Army stuff, would it be too hard to take the time to be instructed in driving a tank back and forth?
Terminal case of Dukakis-brain
Apparently it was "common knowledge" for decades in Japan and occupied Korea that Kim Il-Sung was actually some other dude impersonating a veteran guerilla with that name. Unhinged conspiracy theories are the stock-in-trade of western-aligned coverage of the DPRK.
Edit: By the way, if you look this up, you'll still see popular media lending a lot of credence to this claim, because no lie is too pathetic to be asserted about the DPRK today.
He’s a trained pilot with 100+ logged flight hours.
lmao we teach meatheads who only passed highschool because they got lenient grading how to drive them
In North Korea, the military doesn’t have enough resources to build functioning tanks. They build a tank shell, and inside are 10 malnourished soldiers pushing it around with their feet.
If libs are gonna call us tankies why not just lean into it?
Love it
DPRK English press releases are so corny in an awesome way
they use like 15 words when two would do. it's great
His hair looks cool on the last photo.
I hope he stays healthy so DPRK doesn't suffer destabilization with the west being as bloodthirsty as they are now. :(
His hair looks cool on the last photo.
That's a good thing because everyone must have that same haircut, or so I'm told
what's not pictured is earlier North Korean tank manufacturer 보잉 (/bɔɪŋ/) had an incident with a side door popping off during a witch hunt. The entire driving crew and the maintenance crew were executed and their families have been forced to work in the salt mines.It's this a DPRK built tank? Looks cool 😎
Came to ask this, I would love to know the design process and the why behind all the bits of equipment
Scout/combined arms armored cavalry stuff. Likely high resolution periscope with night vision capabilities, laser for range finding and painting a target for guided missiles. Anti-aircraft rocket launcher tube stuck to the side there, empty. Armored ammo can for the 40mm automatic grenade launcher. (Smart).
Basic smoke grenade launchers, reactive armor blocks and anti rocket grates on the back of the tank body and turret (where the engine and main gun ammo are located, respectively).
DPRK flag.
Damn I want to drive a tank. Closest I've got was a bobcat.
oh hell yeah new tankie emoji finally dropped
He's so fucking cool. I want to drive a Juche tank.
I'm a tank dweeb but I can't quite figure out which tank the KPAGF has now. It looks like a mix of Abrams and a T-90M characteristics. Is this their new domestic tank now?
If Wikipedia is to be believed (yeah, I know), the tank has no official name yet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2020_tank
He looks so funny there. Very "large adult son".
Speaks 3 foreign languages (English, French, German)
Trained pianist
Apparently quite good at basketball
Certified fighter jet pilot with 100+ logged flight hours
Drives a fucking tankBut can he carry a stack of Pizzas?
In the immortal words of Kim Ill Sung, the people are his pizza, he is carrying all of them.

In this picture we can see the soldiers cowering before their leader, afraid he will shoot them
Is the DPRK about to invent Tankball? The new greatest sport that will take the world by storm?
From March 4 to March 14, South Korea (ROK) and the United States have been doing a military operation on the border of DPRK called Freedom Shield. I would think that this tank exercise by the DPRK is meant to deter the US and ROK from invading DPRK.
KCNA is a website operated by the DPRK government. The article does call the exercise a training match and the Seoul Ryu Kyong Su Guards 105th Tank Division won the match, so it was a competitive exercise. There is an album of 30 photos attached to the article.
Oh, I know this is part of their greater set of military exercises and military readiness, I was making a joke.
That jacket is fire
I know it's a different culture but the last photo really creeps me out
What about it is creepy, they love their leader? Looks wholesome as hell
