Since October, North Korea has been supplying weapons to Russia, including over 100 artillery systems and short-range ballistic missiles KN-23/24. This information comes from Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), emphasizing that the supplies include various equipment.

According to HUR, over 100 pieces of equipment have already reached Russia, including M-1989 long-range self-propelled howitzers and M-1991 multiple rocket launchers. More than 60 M-1989 Koksan howitzers are now in Russia, some of which have been delivered to the Saratov Artillery Command School.

Continuation of deliveries

North Korea continues to supply Russia with large-calibre artillery ammunition and ballistic missiles. Over 5 million pieces of ammunition and 100 missiles were delivered by November. The support also involves deploying over 12,000 soldiers stationed in the Kursk region.

U.S. and South Korean intelligence services estimate that Pyongyang has delivered 20,000 containers of ammunition to Moscow, which could contain approximately 9.4 million artillery shells. North Korea's support for Russia is significant and includes various forms of military assistance.
