Rest of World News: North Korea has sent over 1 million rounds of artillery to Russia, which President Vladimir Putin may be using in the bombardment of Ukraine, accordin
I’d didn’t need to build anything. This is their surplus artillery shells which have become redundant after they developed their nuclear capability.
They already had an ocean worth of artillery shells which they planned to use to hit South Korea within 60 seconds of war being declared. They are giving a portion to Russia because otherwise it’s just sitting around and they’d rather rely on nukes.
I agree only half way. Of course they still have shells from the soviet times that they now gladly provide back to russia. Point taken. But NK is also building “modern” military equipment à la carte. The Documentary “The Mole” showed very well how they do it and what they sell. I do not think that russia only gonna buy the oldest shell that NK has in their depots, but also will equip themself with a bit more modern technology that NK builds in 3rd world countries under the disguise of front operations. The assumption that russia is only going to buy their oldest stock and not a single modern weapon that NK has to build (and use tech from china) is just absurd.
