Description

The development of the Bulsae-4 M-2018 reflects North Korea’s continuous innovation in military technology. The vehicle is based on a North Korean-made M-2010 6×6 wheeled armored vehicle.

The Bulsae-4 entered service in the late 2010s, offering enhanced anti-armor capabilities. With its advanced guidance systems, extended range, and mobility, the Bulsae-4 significantly enhances the anti-armor capabilities of North Korean ground forces. Its design and deployment reflect a strategic emphasis on versatility and precision in modern warfare scenarios. The use of the M-2010 wheeled armored vehicle as its platform underscores the system’s mobility and adaptability, making it a formidable asset in North Korea’s military arsenal. The combination of modern guidance technology, robust mobility, and integrated protection measures ensures the Bulsae-4 remains a significant threat to armored targets on the battlefield.
