The Korean People's Army's weapons and equipment has always been considered out of touch with the times, many years of sanctions with its own country's closure, the use of the Korean People's Army equipment is basically still in the last century 70-8 years level. Although some of the technical arms, such as the level of equipment like the Rockets to be slightly better, but the Navy's technical equipment even stop in the early 1960s level, and the lack of large combat ships, the overall level is very backward. But in such a system of equipment and international sanctions, the DPRK still maintained a considerable number of countries with the arms trade, which exports the technical equipment are some very equipped with Korean characteristics.
And the DPRK's military exchanges is the most frequent in the Middle East, and successive years of war makes this is still a continuous conflict, the demand for weapons and equipment is very great. Considering that many of these countries have long received military assistance from the former Soviet Union, how to get Soviet or imitation equipment at a lower price in the international arms and trade market has become a serious concern for the parties to the conflict. And North Korea's weapons and equipment system is also born out of the Soviet Union equipment, and because of its actual situation in the country, the procurement cost of equipment compared to the genuine Soviet Union equipment is generally low. So in the Middle East, many conflict areas can see the North Korean imitation of the Soviet Union equipment, the shadow. And this one, and the North Korean production of a large number of main battle tanks and rockets is the most common.

Syrian conflict in the T-55 tanks, the specific origin of the car is no longer verified. But in the barrel at the top of the KTD-2 laser range finder and the installation of a North Korea imitation from the KTD-2 production of laser range finder.

The same is the Syrian T-55 tanks, you can see the car is installed in North Korea imitation KTD-1 laser range finder.
North Korea in the last century 60's through reverse engineering mapping imitation of the former Soviet Union's T-54/55 series tanks, self-produced low with the model was named "Kim Il Sung" 68 tanks (video data show that a large number of Korean T- 54 tanks are not installed three anti-device, and even the coach and the canopy of the canopy of the command tower are not installed), then in the early 70s of last century, North Korea from the former Soviet Union won the T-62 tank technical information and production license The And in the late 70s began a large number of self-produced T-62 tanks, named "Tianma" 76 tanks.
There was a country in the Middle East to find the DPRK to buy the main battle tanks, North Korea to deliver a large number of "Kim Il Sung" tanks and "Tianma" tanks, but then came a lot of news that the Korean imitation of the main battle tanks , The process is very poor, with the genuine performance of a world of difference.

The former Soviet Union had part of the military products outsourcing to North Korea's arsenal production. This includes a number of weapons system components, single air defense missiles, anti-tank missiles and a series of products. North Korea also used these orders to master the processing and production of some weapons systems.
