A video purported to show a North Korean Bulsae-4 non-line of sight (NLOS) anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) in action somewhere in the Russian special military operation zone surfaced online on June 7.
The Bulsae-4 is mounted on the M-2010 6×6 wheeled armored vehicle, also made in North Korea. This launcher can accommodate up to eight missile containers.
The ATGM features large x-shaped stabilizers designed to support top-attack profiles, allowing the missile to strike armored vehicles at their most vulnerable points. In general, the design of the missile resembles that of the Israeli Spike NLOS.
The missile is believed to have an effective range estimated between 10 to 25 kilometers. It utilizes an electro-optical seeker for guidance, combined with command guidance via optical fiber cable. This guidance system allows manual guidance through a video link, or what is known as “man-in-the-loop” guidance.
The Bulsae-4 was first spotted in the Russian region of Kursk last year, right after Kiev forces launched a surprise offensive there.
It is still unclear, however, if the system spotted at the time was being operated by North Korean troops, who helped defend Kursk, or by the Russian military.
Several videos purported to show strikes with Bulsae-4 against Ukrainian military sites and equipment were posted to social networks in recent months. However, none of these videos have been verified yet.
The deployment of the Bulsae-4 in the special military operation zone is bad news for Kiev forces. The combination of modern guidance technology and robust mobility makes the system a significant threat to armored vehicles and are similar targets.

north koreans are steadfast allies against imperialist satanism. may they be blessed
i like the word steadfast it is part of my philosophy of life. somebody or country you can trust ,i would rather have one loyal friend than ten people you couldn’t trust.
indeed. beware those tribes who posion trust among nations and men.
ricorda i traditori sono sempre persone a te vicine.
also no joo’s are in control of north korea’s central bank.
my question is, where tf are the chinese? they are next on the list after russia, so you would think that they would be more active militarily, but all they do is parade around. come on china. don’t complain at the un when these devils start doing to you what they are trying with russia.
sounds like bullseye🎯
that sound must be like white noise now for the ukrainians.
it is the sound of freedom for russian speakers in ukraine💯
kim dalla tu la spallata.
did you think this was an italian-language forum?
it is preferable only for vladolfs ghey boy fanclub, did you tell him?
is that you, nadya tolokonnikova? got a chicken hidden in your wizard sleeve?
countries like china, north korea and iran with large ground forces should send their troops to russian territory to fight their common enemy over there, so they don’t have to fight them back in their own countries, it would be a win, win for russia and the axis of resistance.
no, it wouldn’t. it would escalate the situation. currently the us empire is limited by pretending that a third-world failed experiment in the ukraine is fighting russia.
russia running out of weapons and manpower and now need no to supply them. that’s why shoigu was meeting in nk again to get supplies and manpower. without it russia are fooked.
without nato and the us draining their arsenals ukraine would have been fooked long ago.
