According to South Korea**, from the end of 2022 to the present, North Korea will successively give millions of 152 mm artillery pieces to Russia. With large shipments of arms arriving in Russia by sea, Putin may have really found a true ally.
South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyo].
South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-hyun said in a recent news interview that North Korea has shipped about 6,700 containers to Russia since July this year, arriving at Dunai Port in the Russian Far East city by sea, and then transporting them to the battlefield against Ukraine by land. Since the talks between Kim Jong-un and Putin in September, arms shipments between North Korea and Russia have increased significantly.
Shen Yuanxiang was very sure that those boxes were full of munitions, and Shen Yuanxiang did not know what they were, but he estimated that judging from the size of the boxes, they could hold more than three million 152 mm bullets, or more than half a million 122 mm rockets. Coupled with the recent rumors of insufficient firepower in the Russian military, Shen Yuanxiang's speculation has also resonated with many Westerners.
The West, on the other hand, believes that North Korea has a rich arsenal of arms and is compatible with the Russian-made system, so when the people of the DPRK are short of ammunition in the war in Ukraine before, they will definitely give arms to Russia and North Korea. North Korea does have this capability, because North Korea has always faced military threats between the United States and South Korea without any safe distance, so North Korea will definitely have enough ** at all times to deal with any contingencies.
South Korea said thousands of North Korean containers loaded with large quantities of arms were destined for Russia).
According to the South Korean side, North Korea's first arms to Russia is nothing more than an attempt to get some grain and raw materials from Russia, as well as some ** parts. The most valuable of these supplies is food, and Russia can exchange food for the food that North Korea needs.
The large number of artillery deliveries from North Korea to Russia will have a direct impact on the offensive and defensive situation between Russia and Ukraine. Originally, when the ** people revealed that their arms were already extremely scarce, there were some Western news reports at that time that North Korea had given Russia a large number of artillery. And the Russian side is also in full swing to prepare, and many military-industrial enterprises are stepping up production. However, it will still take some time from mobilization to full capacity of the military-industrial complex, as well as to reach a high level of production.
Therefore, it is clear that asking for help from the DPRK is only a "stopgap measure", because North Korean arms can fill the vacancies of Russian military factories operating at full capacity, avoiding a situation of retreat without ** and ammunition.
The Russian-Ukrainian war has reached its most critical juncture, and Russian forces are launching fierce attacks on many areas in eastern Ukraine. There is no doubt that the DPRK is sending a large amount of arms to Russia, and Russia's own arsenal is also working at full capacity. This also means that the Russian army no longer has to worry about anything, they can use the powerful ** to minimize the losses of the Russian army.
Although the United States has already issued a warning to North Korea, saying that if North Korea dares to send arms to Russia, then North Korea will "pay the price" for it. But such warnings appear to be ineffective, and perhaps North Korea is not at all afraid of what the Americans say is the kind of intimidation of sanctions. In any case, even if the DPRK does not send arms to Russia, the United States and the West will not end the sanctions and quarantine on the DPRK because of this.
North Korea has been suffering huge losses in the diplomatic and economic sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries. If the U.S. wants North Korea to pay for anything else, the only way is to attack with force, but it's clear that the U.S. is afraid of that.
Judging from the situation in Russia and Ukraine, the Russians are completely relying on the full firepower of military factories and have shipped a large number of arms from all over the world, so they do not need to worry about bullets. Even South Korea's ** revealed that in order to support Russia, North Korea has reduced its own arms production and focused all its attention on Russian products.
In stark contrast, on the Ukrainian side, many NATO member states have said that they will no longer provide any support to Ukraine, and the aid provided by the United States to Ukraine of up to $60 billion has not been supported by the US House of Representatives so far. Therefore, the Ukrainian side is now facing multiple problems such as the shortage of personnel from it and the imminent depletion of ** ammunition from Western countries. Ukraine** Zelensky also said that because the Ukrainian armed forces did not have sufficient ammunition, the vital Avdiyivka in eastern Ukraine was abandoned.
Zelensky's loss of support for NATO has plunged Ukraine into a catastrophe. ）
In addition, Zelensky also said that without the help of the United States, Ukraine is likely to lose more bases, and possibly even more military bases within this year.
As far as the current situation is concerned, since the ** people have gained the upper hand in the war, some have been more courageously on the side of Russia. Of course, Ukraine is now at a disadvantage, but Ukraine will not fall for a while and a half, and it is constantly pressuring the United States and the West to speed up the rescue of Ukraine.
And if Russia does not grasp this great opportunity, and when Biden is re-elected, Russia is likely to fall into a "stalemate" again and fight until 2025, which will outweigh the losses.
