message: The width (stated as 3.1m) seems too narrow for a modern tank - I've seen a source giving 3.6m (http://www.military-today.com/tanks/k2_black_panther_mbt.htm). Wonder if this can be verified and cleared up. Out of curiosity, the overall length (stated as 10m) seems short considering an L55 gun is mounted. I'd expect more like 10.5m - but perhaps its mounted further back because of the autoloader. Lokster (talk) 06:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, I hope I don't screw this up.  The introductory sentance:
"Although the K1 and K1A1 were considered more than adequate to counter opposing North Korean tanks, most of which are obsolete and aging Soviet-era equipment such as the T-34 and the T-54/55..."
Would seem to need a revision given the following news release: 
"S. KOREA STUDIES NORTH'S NEW BATTLE TANK - South Korean military and intelligence authorities are scrutinizing the performances of North Korea's latest main battle tank, believed to be the latest modification of the Soviet-built T-62, officials here said Aug. 17.
	The North's Korean Central Television made public footage of the Pokpung-Ho (Storm) days ago. The rare release of such footage by the secretive North Koreans occurred in the tense aftermath of the March sinking of a South Korean warship near the western sea border.
	Last month, South Korean and U.S. forces flexed their muscles during massive air and naval drills off the eastern coast of the peninsula, despite Pyongyang's warning that it would respond to the war games.
	"The new tank appeared to have better mobility, survivability and firepower than the existing Chonma-Ho (Pegasus), apparently," a South Korean Ministry of National Defense official said on condition of anonymity. "We're still analyzing the … tank based on the footage from Pyongyang's state television station. The release of footage of the Pokpung-Ho was quite rare, as the existence of the new tank had sometimes been regarded as a rumor."
	The Pokpung-Ho also is dubbed the M-2002, as the tank is presumed to have been rolled out in 2002, he added.
	The North Korean People's Army is known to operate up to 800 T-62 variants.
	Beginning in the late 1970s, North Korea started to produce a modified version of the 115mm gunned T-62 tank, and since then is believed to have made considerable modifications to the basic Soviet and Chinese designs.
	According to a recent analysis published by Seoul's Defense Agency for Technology and Quality, an affiliate of the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, the Pokpung-Ho is believed to be armed with either a newly developed 125mm or 115mm main gun.
	The improved version would be mounted with a 14.5mm KPV anti-aircraft machine gun, which is more powerful than the 12.7mm gun on older tanks, the analysis states.
	Other improvements for the Pokpung-Ho include a laser rangefinder, an infrared searchlight and an up-to-date fire control system, according to the publication.
	The North Korean Army is believed to have about 3,900 tanks, and only one elite mechanized unit would operate Pokpung-Hos.
	The South Korean Army operates about 2,300 tanks, many of which will be replaced by the state-of-the-art K2 Black Panther main battle tank and modified K1A1 tank.     (Source:  Defense News)"

thread_title:  North Korean Tanks are Obsolete? 

message: The intro to the article states that the K2 is not going to be mass-produced due to design faults, while the body of the article informs us that the ROKA is expected to take delivery of at least 206 of them. Whatever threshold of "mass-production" one takes, that would seem to meet it, so is the K2 going into service or isn't it?--172.162.44.86 (talk) 02:58, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I have attempted to find a good citation (preferably something from the South Korean army or from a manufacturer) that actually mentions the Product Improvement Program. I've encountered a great deal of circular references that seem to quote the Wiki article verbatim, but nothing that is verifiable. It may be the case that some details of the PIP have been invented wholesale. That said, my search is obviously stymied by my lack of fluency in Korean.

message: I believe it could be a good idea to have information about Altay's operators in the operators section in this article, as that tank is based on the K2. In that case they would be separated into an Altay operators subsection, and they would be presented on the map in a different color, for example cyan, to note that it is the Altay and not the K2. Some military equipment pages, such as the AK-47 or Sukhoi Su-30 pages, different versions of equipment are mentioned in both text and maps, but in both cases the "branding" of the variants does not separate them wholly from the original. As someone who is not a professional, I am unsure if the Altay development can be considered a variant of the K2, with significant changes but a variant nonetheless, or a completely separate tank of its own with some shared tech.
I would appreciate it if someone who is better informed could chime in and let me know if it would be a good fit for this article to have Turkey and Qatar listed and colored in on the map as operators of Altay tanks. SharkyIzrod (talk) 12:57, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Are there any reliable sources for the changes listed in the K2PL subsection of this article?
Because I've noticed multiple mistakes there when listing the changes, most of which are unknown yet - it's unknown what kind of APS will it have, both Trophy and KAPS are considered, the same with the RCWS,, the most likely candidate here is a Polish one from ZM Tarnów, the hull ammo rack being isolated is also not certain (though unlikely). Not to mention the fact that Poland will not produce 820 of them, but 500. Olekz17 (talk) 13:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
