What a sad state your country must be in to take weapons from fucking North Korea. That’s like getting a busted slingshot from the kid who eats his own boogers.
It didn’t actually happen because NK doesn’t have the facilities to manufacture meaningful levels of weapons to one of the greatest military powers in the world right now
No. Because North Korean is fucking poor. Their military shit is from the 50’s. I’d be very much surprised if they actually provided anything to Russia other than old Soviet era weapons.
Edit: Why the downvotes? I’m not defending anyone here??
You’d be surprised how much metallurgy advanced. Western shells from 50s and from 90s are completely different beasts, but difference is less in NK ammo, which means lower range and lethality out of comparable calibre. This way NK 180mm shell is less lethal and maybe shorter ranged than western 155mm, it’s closer to modern 105mm
Wasn’t shrapnel found with NK markings? Yeah sure that could be planted if we reach far. Meh everything is conspicuous propaganda in these post-truth times
bits of ballistic missiles with NK markings and there’s some complaining by russians about low accuracy of NK 152mm propellant charges (variable amount of propellant, sometimes missing decoppering wire, decomposition etc)
NK manufactures and stores empty artillery shells and fills them as needed, because scaling up manufacture of filling plant is easy but scaling up steelworks is hard. This way shell forged in 70s but filled in 2023 is still pretty useful
Yeah, they’ve been industrious for decades. Not much choice when your natural resources are mostly mountains and minerals. Before the split, most industry was in the north and agriculture was in the south. In fact, the Kaesong industrial complex on the border was built to allow both countries to benefit from their resources (SK having money and NK having cheap labor).
They are making big gains right now unfortunately so it would be wise not to understimate them just like Poland aren’t or France with the latter re arming at a rate not seen since WW2.
Why would they be doing this if not for the threat Russia poses.
The other overlooked factor here is they will have the most experienced and battle hardened military in the world at the end of this (well the soldiers that survive at least) But their generals and commanders are certainly getting real world experience that’s very valuable.
You are spreading Kremlin talking points. Spreading influence for a regime illegally trying to annex it’s neighbor, razing cities, murdering civilians and kidnapping children.
Russian’s current military doctrine involves overwhelming its opponent with larger amount of fire over precision. This means that they give preference to dumb munitions (this is, projectiles which trajectory you cannot change once they’ve been fired) over precise munitions, and North Korea is pretty much capable of providing a bunch of the former. Given North Korea’s current economy and the fact that not many countries would be interested in that kind of armament, it would make perfect sense for Russia and North Korea to make that trade. Nothing of this are judgements of value over any country, just facts and analysis.
North Korea is such a let down for humanity, a sad disappointment. They’d be so much better off if they worked together with the world. I firmly believe the US military has a complete view of their imports/exports through spy satellites.
Whataboutism. Comparing the situation between Israel and Palestine to North Korea isn’t smart. And you say what “we’ve” done to Palestinians, I haven’t done anything to them, I didn’t vote for any of that shit.
Man why don’t these North Koreans understand that we come in lovu and peas?!!!
@riodoro1 reminds you that Palestine which doesn’t have a massive military is currently being Genocided by a Western colony with full support from America so the suggestion that North Korea should just lay down their weapons is completely insane
