According to observers, the M2020 is equipped with composite armor that is said to be on par with the armor equipped on third-generation main battle tanks. The tank's main gun is derived from the Russian 2A46 125mm gun, capable of firing a variety of ammunition including anti-tank and armor-piercing shells. Photo: KCNA.
