That being said I think that's crap.

I will agree with you on that

A T-55a hull was 6.2m so 3.78 is way off unless the NK's are CONSIDERABLY smaller than I thought they were

I suppose one way to measure would be to estimate the size of "Dear Leaders" head and then scale it from that but it's not really reliable

What this appears to be is something of a hybrid design like they took the Abrams ( and there was some chatter that they had one courtesy of ISIS ) and the T-14 . The raised engine compartment is reminiscent of the Abrams and it is a way to shoehorn a larger engine in

Eventually we will get better numbers and the T-72 theory is sound. That "society" will never invent anything new but they will adapt other peoples designs to their needs

My guesstimate hull is the same width as a T-72/T-90 but a bit longer and has 7 road wheels as does the Armata.... T72/90 have 6 so it's kinda a T-14/ Abrams mash up for the hull and something closer to a western style turret
