Looks like a mixture of tanks all upgraded. The chassis does look very much like avRussian tank (clearly the T80 from what Atasas said) but the turret just seems to scream Chieftain to me. But I'm no expert. Very odd. Where did you get this image from? Got a link or something?


Thanks

No way, even if we cannot clearly see the drive/wheel setup:

Also definitely no chieftain turret:



Ok, so lets keep guessing (?), my bet would be on the T90ii or predecessor/derivate:



Derivate 1: MBT 2000 Al Khalid:




FWIW,

15M(ay): Noooobody! ...expects the Spanish Revolution!:
Update SEP 2011: Now reached US, called "Occupy Wall Street" and they claim they invented it. Thanks for learning from Spain!

I found it on a Chinese Blog as P'okp'ung-ho Storm Tiger, but it can not be. This picture was uncommented.

Well, actually it's North Korean. Pokpung-ho is a Korean name, and it's been famous in South Korean military as the most advanced tank NK can get. However, it's not very advanced in today's standards as it's basically a remodelling of the T-72
