The article doesn't say the models of tank they've seen but NK has very few modern tanks and thousands of T-62 variants. They'll be sending the T-62s. Not very effective.

Edit: they're probably not tanks at all https://armyrecognition.com/news/army-news/army-news-2024/north-korean-bulsae-4-missile-system-reportedly-spotted-in-ukraine-for-first-time

If it kills, and I bet it does, it's effective.

It may not be a tank but it's a Panzer. A Jagdpanzer (hunting tank) is a Panzerjäger (tank hunter) which itself is a tank erm armoured vehicle.
