Write for JED! DPRK - North Korea

KOKSAN

SERIES OF SELF-PROPELLED ARTILLERY WEAPONS



The Koksan is named after the city in North Korea where it was first seen by the West in 1978. It has a 170mm gun mounted on a tracked hull with no superstructure and 2 large folding spades at the rear. The chassis type is unclear and has been reported as, variously, a T-54, Type 59 or Tok'Chon. The gun itself is a previously unknown type, possibly Russian coastal-defence or ex-naval weapon.
