132-573: A bottleneck at Reade Street. This change was implemented at the end of 1987. In January 1999, the MTA issued a performance report on the M10 route, calling the route "extremely long and unreliable", with long headways between buses. On January 16, 2000, the M10 was split into two routes, with the northern section from Harlem to Penn Station still operating under the M10 designation, and the southern segment from Columbus Circle to Battery Park City being renamed

176-518: A folding launcher on the right side of the turret. The Bulsae-3 missiles are 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 thus have a higher penetration. As the T-72s received by North Korea are of early modifications, they cannot fire missiles through

264-512: A parade on July 27, 2023, with this design being dubbed M2024 . The tank's main gun is likely derived from the Soviet 2A46 125 mm gun , which are also used on the Chonma-216 and Songun-915 tanks. A coaxial machine gun is located left of the main gun and an AGS-30 grenade launcher is located on the left side of the roof of the turret. The tank also has two Bulsae-3 anti-tank missiles in

352-514: Is advantageous for armored fighting vehicles traversing hilly and mountainous terrains, such as the geography of the Korean Peninsula . The roof of the turret features panoramic sights and a meteorological mast on the right side, and smoke grenade launchers at the rear of the turret protected by slat armor. The commander and gunner have separate sights, which are believed to have thermal imaging devices. If true, then it would improve

Originally a streetcar line , it is now the M10 bus route and the M20 bus route , operated by

440-593: The Chonma-ho tank. Newer Pokpung-ho and Songun-915 (a 'Pokpung-ho' with cast turret and modified hull) tanks would be developed and introduced in the early 21st century but were still heavily influenced by old Soviet/Russian and Chinese tank designs; namely by the T-62 . At the beginning of the 21st century, North Korea was able to obtain T-72 tanks through various channels and various parts of it, which would be used in

484-561: The Eighth Avenue Coach Corporation in March 1936, a company owned by Fifth Avenue Coach Company . The New York City Omnibus Corporation took over operations of the route, known as Route 10, in 1951, and in 1956 it was renamed Fifth Avenue Coach Lines ; the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority replaced it in 1962. On June 6, 1954, with the conversion of several streets to one-way streets,

528-668: The Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority . The M10 bus now only runs north of 57th Street (near Columbus Circle ), and the M20 runs south of 66th Street. The whole line was a single route, the M10, until 2000 when the M20 was created. The M10 and M20 bus routes serve the northern and southern halves of the Eighth Avenue corridor, respectively. The routes intersect in Upper Midtown Manhattan , between Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle . Until 2000,

572-665: The American M1A2 Abrams, the Russian T-14 Armata, and to some extent, the Chinese VT-4 . There is speculation that the Cheonma-2 may have been assisted by Russian or Chinese technological transfers due to its very modern design. The nine tanks displayed at the military parade are believed to be prototypes or proof of concept intended for future development or production in the future. Curiously,

616-667: The Cheonma-2 appears to be a mixed design of the American M1 Abrams and the Russian T-14 Armata or Iranian Zulfiqar tank , although its overall layout is more similar to the latter. The front of the turret's armor is angled similarly to the M1 Abrams. The hull of the tank features armor plates on the sides, with slat armor on the rear sides protecting the engine just like the T-14. The glacis plate of

660-401: The Cheonma-2 is slightly different from the T-14 and the driver's position is located at the center front of the hull. The tank is equipped with composite armor that is believed to be on par with ones equipped on third generation main battle tanks and is possibly modular in design. Parts of the turret appear to have armor up to 10 cm thick to defend against top attack munitions. Compared to

704-641: The Cheonma-2 may be classified as somewhere between a third and fourth generation main battle tank based on comparisons to older North Koreans and modern foreign tanks. He concluded that the Cheonma-2 can become a serious threat to the K1 and the K2 tanks and that the South Korean military should improve networking capabilities and develop active protection systems to counter the Cheonma-2s. There are doubts over

748-703: The Cheonma-2 sported a desert tan camouflage scheme during the military parade, which is unusual considering there are no deserts in the Korean Peninsula. The choice of color is speculated to be intended for the tank to be compared to Western, Russian, and/or Chinese tanks or to be appealing as an exportable weapon. The Cheonma-2 is stated to be a testament to the North Korean defense industries' ingenuity despite being under an arms embargo and international sanctions . The Cheonma-2s (along with other paraded weapons) are also seen as North Korea's efforts to modernize its military. In an interview with Professor Sung Woo,

792-561: The M10, with riders instead using the M7, the M20, and the subway. M20 ridership increased with the truncation of M10 service and its extension to South Ferry. On April 3, 2011, however, M10 service was extended by two blocks to 57th Street , with the final southbound stop at 58th Street and Broadway and the first northbound stop at 57th Street and Eighth Avenue. M2020 North Korea originally relied on Soviet and Chinese made tanks before they started developing their own tanks, starting with

880-504: The M20 runs south on West Broadway , then west along Chambers Street past West Street into Battery Park City . The route then travels along North End Avenue, Vesey Street , a short stretch of West Street, South End Avenue, Battery Place, and State Street. The route terminates at Whitehall Street along the Staten Island Ferry Whitehall Terminal bus loop. Northbound M20 buses follow essentially

924-482: The M20. The two routes overlapped between Penn Station and Columbus Circle. Riders transferring between the M10 and the M20 were given an additional free transfer. Since the M10 no longer served Abingdon Square, westbound M14 service was increased during the afternoon. After the September 11 attacks in 2001, M20 service was initially revised to terminate in the northern section of Battery Park City without entering

968-489: The Songun-915 tank, the commander sits in the right side of the turret. The change in position may indicate an addition of an autoloader inside the turret, but the 4th crew member makes this unlikely. The tank has seven road wheels, indicating that it is bigger than previous North Korean tanks (which have six wheels). These road wheels are protected by rubber plates or skirts. The tank was also seen with new ERA during

1012-655: The T-14. The sensors used for the active protection systems are likely located in the front corners of the turret. This design is similarly seen on the M1A2C (SEPv3). KCTV has published footage of the APS intercepting an RPG-7 style round at the testing grounds in Kusong at the “Weapons and Equipment Exhibition 2023” in Pyongyang, which Joost Oliemans of Oryx has called "a laudable achievement for North Korean engineers". While

1056-475: The biggest highlight of the 75th anniversary Worker's Party parade was the unveiling of the Hwasong-16 ballistic missile, the appearance of the Cheonma-2 has also taken observers and defense experts by surprise. The Cheonma-2 is strikingly distinct in that it does away with the older T-62 design in many preceding North Korean tanks in favor of a more modern design. As such, the tank has been compared to

1100-703: The development of their tanks, such as with the Songun-915. In 2016, a tank commander in North Hamgyong Province claimed a K1 88-Tank was at a tank research center in North Korea, but the Republic of Korea Armed Forces denied such a claim. On October 10, 2020, the DPRK held a rare night time military parade to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea's foundation. During

1144-553: The entire length of Eighth Avenue towards Harlem. Prior to 2010, the M10 continued south to Penn Station at 34th Street. The M20 begins service at Broadway and West 63rd Street in Lincoln Center, at Dante Park . Southbound, the route travels through Columbus Circle, east along 59th Street, and south along Seventh Avenue , which becomes Seventh Avenue South and then Varick Street. At the end of Varick Street in Tribeca ,

1188-412: The gun barrel, although gun-launched missiles are constrained by the barrel diameter and have less penetration. Given that the tank uses one piece ammunition, it is also possible that the gun is a smaller 115mm gun with a longer caliber to compensate for the lower penetration of this caliber. However, detailed information was censored in the footage released by Korean Central Television . The Cheonma-2

1232-650: The head of the Department of Military Drones at Shinhan University and a former policy advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (South Korea) , he stated the Cheonma-2 is a technological leap over existing North Korean tanks. He also stated that the tank's development may have been assisted by Iran by using technologies and designs from the Zulfiqar-3 tank . North Korea and Iran are known to cooperate with regards to their militaries. Professor Sung Woo has implied that

1276-525: The line from the north end of the trackage shared with the Sixth Avenue Railroad 's Sixth Avenue Line at Canal Street and Varick Street along Canal Street, Hudson Street , and Eighth Avenue to 51st Street on August 30, 1852. It was eventually extended north to 159th Street, with a branch along Macomb's Lane to 154th Street, and another branch to the south along Canal Street east to Broadway . Buses were substituted for streetcars by

1320-511: The parade, nine of the new tanks were unveiled, alongside new armored fighting vehicles , rocket artilleries , and ballistic missiles, such as the Hwasong-16 and Pukguksong-4 missiles. The tanks displayed were stated to be prototypes. As of March 2024, 9 are known to exist in the updated M2024 standard, but mass production is believed to be planned at the Kusong tank plant. Visually,

1364-405: The route of the 10 was modified. Eighth Avenue was made one-way northbound between Abingdon Square and Columbus Circle, and Hudson Street was made one-way northbound between Chambers Street and Abingdon Square. Seventh Avenue was made one-way southbound between 47th Street and Houston Street, and Varick Street was made one-way southbound between Houston Street and Leonard Street. Southbound 10 service

1408-530: The route was modified due to the conversion of some two-way streets to one-way streets. Service began running north along Hudson Street and south along Seventh Avenue. On January 16, 1966, the branch of the M10 to Cortlandt Street was cut back to Vesey Street in anticipation of the demapping of several streets for the construction of the World Trade Center . Service used a terminal loop of West Broadway, Vesey Street, Church Street and Reade Street, with

1452-492: The same route through Battery Park City, except using Murray Street instead of Vesey Street. At Chambers Street and West Street, the route turns north onto West Street, east on Harrison Street, then north onto Hudson Street . At Abingdon Square Park and Bleecker Park , Hudson Street feeds into Eighth Avenue, which the M20 follows into Midtown. At West 66th Street, the M20 turns west, then turns south on Broadway, terminating at West 63rd Street. The Eighth Avenue Railroad opened

1540-783: The southern section of the neighborhood. 700 riders a day headed to the northern section of the neighborhood during this period. On May 6, 2002, the M20's previous route was restored. In December 2002, the MTA announced plans to reroute the M20 from West Street to serve the northern portion of Battery Park City. West Street was difficult to cross, and the M20 could not stop on West Street southbound due to high curbs. Northbound service would travel north via West Street, west via Murray Street, north of North End Avenue, and east on Chambers Street before heading back to its previous route, while southbound service would head west on Chambers Street, south on North End Avenue, east on Vesey Street, and south on West Street, before resuming its previous route. The change

1584-493: The tank's hunter-killer and night fighting capabilities compared to older North Korean tanks. The tank possesses a muzzle reference system to improve its accuracy when firing on the move. Hard kill active protection systems (APS) are fitted on the lower part of the turret; two in the front corners and two on each side, each containing three tube launchers. This APS layout is similar to the Russian Afghanit featured on

1628-768: The terminal being located at Park Place. Previously service had traveled south along West Broadway, west on Cortlandt Street, north on the West Side Highway, east on Dey Street, and north on Church Street. On May 9, 1977, weekday limited-stop service began on the M10, operating northbound between 4 p.m. and 5:20 p.m., and southbound between 6:40 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.. The New York City Transit Authority proposed officially eliminating M10 Limited service along 145th Street and Lenox Avenue to Esplanade Gardens at 147th Street on December 30, 1986. Two southbound trips and three northbound trips had operated to this terminal, but due to passenger confusion and low ridership, this service

1672-826: The two routes were a single M10 route, running 10 miles (16 km) between Harlem and Lower Manhattan. The M10 bus begins in Harlem at Frederick Douglass Boulevard (Eighth Avenue) roughly where 158th Street would be located, on the east side of the Polo Grounds Towers housing complex. There is no actual intersection with 158th Street at this point. The route travels south on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, which becomes Central Park West at West 110th Street and Frederick Douglass Circle . At West 63rd Street in Lincoln Center, southbound buses turn west, then turn south on Broadway , terminating at 57th Street and Broadway just south of Columbus Circle. Northbound buses travel along

1716-588: The west side starting at 47th Street on June 12, 1954. Instead, at the request of T. T. Wiley, the Traffic Commissioner, Route 8 was discontinued and combined with Route 10 on June 13. This change eliminated a u-turn at Central Park South and Seventh Avenue. In 1962, when the Surface Company bought the route they put one bus service for the entire length. This was given the route number 10, which then became bus M10. In Fiscal Year 1963,

1760-502: Was believed to powered by a 1,200 horsepower engine used on the Songun-915 tanks, but stills of the engine shown during the May 28, 2024 visit to Academy of National Defense Science show visual similarities to the engine of the Leopard 2 , casting this assumption in doubt. The estimated mass of the tank is 55 tons, or above 50 tons. The tank is noted to be relatively compact in size, which

1804-708: Was ended in late 1986 by the Surface Operations Department. The official change would reroute these trips to the usual northern terminal at 159th Street, and would take effect in March 1987. On April 22, 1987, the New York City Transit Authority proposed several modifications to bus routes in Lower Manhattan to serve Battery Park City to the MTA Board, including the extension of the M10. Southbound service

1848-594: Was estimated to cost $ 160,000 annually, and would take effect in January 2003. Due to budget constraints during the Great Recession , M10 buses' southern terminus was truncated to Columbus Circle on June 27, 2010. On the same day, the M20 was extended to South Ferry, replacing the section of the M9 south of City Hall . The truncation, which saved $ 1.1 million annually, resulted in a significant drop in ridership on

1892-584: Was extended south along West Broadway, west along Vesey Street, south along West Street, west on West Thames Street, and north on Sound End Avenue to the terminal at Liberty Street. Northbound service then ran north along South End Avenue, east along Liberty Street, north on West Street, east on Harrison Street and north via Hudson Street before returning to the existing route. This change eliminated service at four stops along Church Street and Reade Street, and service along Hudson Street between West Broadway and Harrison Street, affecting fewer than 100 riders, and removed

1936-403: Was rerouted along Broadway from Columbus Circle to Times Square, Seventh Avenue to West Broadway and West Broadway to Leonard Street. Initially, New York City Omnibus planned to reroute northbound Route 8 buses along Seventh Avenue to Hudson Street and Eighth Avenue for its entire route between 59th Street and Canal Street, and reroute a portion of southbound service from Times Square's east side to
