A million North Korean shells for the Russian Federation. Why this figure is at least exaggerated is expert
But reactive shells, as well as for howitzers, these shells, in my opinion, are enough in North Korea, and they can really sell Russia. Video of the Day - And if it's Soviet projectiles? Because we remember, the Soviet Union supplied military equipment, military weapons of North Korea. Is it something that they produce? Can we evaluate the potential that they are producing in person? - They produce [independently] jet shells.
At first they purchased in Russia, and then they began to produce shells for jet installations. Also for howitzers, for guns they are manufactured. - Among other things, we saw the figure that there is a straightts of shells there. Allegedly, Russia wants to buy a million shells. - Maybe it's an exaggerated figure. But the number . . . can sell shells. Rockets are hardly. Because such a number is unlikely to have quality missiles. They have intercontinental missiles, also ballistic.
Only in 2022 did they conduct rockets of various kinds 9 times. And according to the South Korean media, the seventh testing of nuclear weapons. - And why do they store this opportunity to produce weapons? Again, given the sanctions imposed on them, how many years North Korea has lived under sanctions. -First, North Korea, despite the sanctions, cooperates with China.
China, although not officially supported by North Korea, firms, private enterprises maintain close relationships with economic and other links with North Korea. Therefore, they are allies. And also China with North Korea has a treaty with Russia, a union treaty with Russia. Therefore, they will help Russia for such reasons. First of all, it is a demonstration of the new North Korea strategy.
That is, the United States does not meet North Korea, a step -by -step denuclearization, such a step is not going. Therefore, they will solve problems in their own way. That is, it is a demonstration of the new North Korea strategy. Secondly, it is an intensification of allied agreements with Russia. And Russia's support. And thirdly, it is a partial solution to the economic problems that North Korea has.
That is, it can not solve economic problems in connection with the sanctions that operate on North Korea. So now they have adopted a new strategy, a strategy for cooperation with Russia and China. That is, in this way they will try to reform the economy of North Korea. - If we talk about China, can it in some way press North Korea so that this sale does not happen? Among other things, experts say that China is not beneficial to this war. And China favorably weakened Russia.
What is your opinion on this? - Here you need to look on the other side. Exacerbation of confrontation between China and the US in connection with the events in Taiwan's shed. This is a relatively profitable China. China will be officially neutral, that is, they will not support nor condemn. But also against North Korea and Russia, China will not speak. -There is another super-player of the United States.
We remember that President Donald Trump tried to establish such friendly relations with Kim Jong -in. Then they met twice, in June 2018 in Singapore, in February 2019 in Vietnam. But they could not conclude a denuclearization agreement of the Korean Peninsula. Are there any other levers in the US on North Korea now? What is known about relations with the new White House and North Korean administration? - Now, first of all, the exacerbation of strategic competition of the US and China.
Sharply aggravated, especially in the safety field. The first reason. The second reason is the rocket strengthening of rocket-nuclear potential in North Korea. Only this year the tests were conducted 9 times. Therefore, this becomes a real threat. The third reason, the North Korean nuclear problem in the Biden Government Strategy is far from first. Therefore, North Korea realized that the sanctions would not be removed, and the decision of the issue of denuclearization is not yet.
