The PT-85 is a North Korean light floating tank and a further development or modification of the PT-76 .
It was confirmed that North Korea had developed the amphibious tank PT-76 into the PT-85, but its introduction is difficult due to the desolate state of the armaments factories. Experts estimate that only 20 series vehicles have been delivered since the mid-1990s. The PT-85 is based on the VTT-323 APC chassis and is similar in appearance to the PT-76 with a few modifications.
