So now there's nothing to stop South Korea arming Ukraine right? Seems like the perfect opportunity to see how their equipment performs against their neighbours.

Koreans have been rather cautious on ukraine which is fair. This should make them less cautious. This is now a good opportunity for a win win set up between Korea and Ukraine.

Obligatory, fuck sheepooh

The article doesn't say the models of tank they've seen but NK has very few modern tanks and thousands of T-62 variants. They'll be sending the T-62s. Not very effective.

Edit: they're probably not tanks at all https://armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/army-news-2024/north-korean-bulsae-4-missile-system-reportedly-spotted-in-ukraine-for-first-time

Sad world we live in.

It may not be a tank but it's a Panzer. A Jagdpanzer (hunting tank) is a Panzerjäger (tank hunter) which itself is a tank erm armoured vehicle.

Translation:

Russia's war of aggression

Ukraine reports North Korean battle tanks on the front line

The Ukrainian president wants to build more shelters in schools. Ukraine strengthens its defenses on the border with Belarus. Heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine. And: probably the first North Korean armored personnel carriers discovered on the front line.
