Since October, North Korea has been supplying military equipment to Russia, including over 100 artillery systems and short-range ballistic missiles of the Kn-23/24 type. This information originates from Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), which highlights the diverse nature of the deliveries.

According to HUR, over 100 pieces of equipment have arrived in Russia, including long-range self-propelled howitzers M-1989 and multiple rocket launchers M-1991. More than 60 M-1989 Koksan howitzers are located in Russia, with some being sent to the Higher Artillery Command School in Saratov.

Continuation of deliveries

North Korea continues to supply Russia with large-calibre artillery ammunition and ballistic missiles. By November, over 5 million rounds of ammunition and 100 missiles had been transferred. The support also includes deploying over 12,000 soldiers in the Kursk region.

Intelligence services from the USA and South Korea estimate that Pyongyang has delivered 20,000 containers of ammunition to Moscow, which could contain about 9.4 million artillery shells. North Korea's support for Russia is significant and encompasses various forms of military assistance.

This information is reported by the "Polish Press Agency", which cites data from Ukrainian military intelligence.
