The People's Liberation Army has sent troops to China's border with North Korea as escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula have pushed North and South to the brink of possible war.

Just for the record, those don’t look like tanks, but rather artillery. A tank is not an infantry fighting vehicle is not a self propelled gun is not a tracked SAM launcher, though all of them have tracks and varying amounts of armor.

Interesting “tanks.” They look more like armoured self-propelled artillery.

Don’t recognize them from the photo.

Do you think they have nukes on board? Maybe a surprise attack on California before they hit South Korea?
