The Bulsae ATGM is a family of North Korean (DPRK) anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) systems.
History
= Bulsae-2
=North Korea is said to have acquired a number of 9K111 Fagot systems in the late 20th century. These were subsequently reverse-engineered and given the designation Bulsae-2.
= Bulsae-3
=The Bulsae-3 was advertised as the AT-4MLB by North Korean proxy company GLOCOM, and in their brochure it was stated that it is controlled by laser beam guidance method, The first international customers of the Bulsae-3 was reported in 2014 to be the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades.
The Chonma-216 variant of the Pokpung-ho main battle tank (MBT) has been seen fitted with Bulsae-3, which a source alleges to have been derived from the AT-14 Spriggan.
The 2020 Cheonma-2 MBT prototype has the Bulsae-3 as secondary armament. It is said to be reversed engineered Soviet/Russian 9K111 Fagot or 9M133 Kornet missiles. However, the diameter of the ATGM launchers appears to be 150 mm like the 9M133, rather than 120 mm of the 9K111 and may thus have a higher penetration.
= Bulsae NLOS
=The BTR-80 amphibious APC derivative from the DPRK named Chunma-D seems to have been modified by the DPRK to fit a 6x6 chassis.
= Bulsae-5
=The Songun-915 variant of the Pokpung-ho series of tanks has been seen fitted with Bulsae-5, which a source alleges to have been derived from the 9M133 Kornet.
