According to analysts, the invaders have recently begun to be more and more worried that the shells obtained by Russia from the DPRK spoil their artillery products - they break the barrels of SAU and howitzers. Before that, there was information that these ammunition displayed anomalous flight and have a production marriage - five selected charges with the same marking were different powder, its different weight, violation of sealing and the absence of a coloringer.
"The causes of the projectile rupture in the barrel canal may be: insufficient strength of the walls or bottom of the projectile body, insufficient obstruction of the powder gases in the bottom of the projectile, poor quality of explosive in the projectile, metal defects, detonator's lack. It is quite possible to put a plus.
They add that information was previously recorded on the breaks of the barrels in the army of the Russian Federation, but then Russia has not yet received ammunition from North Korea. The reason for this was the high wear of the barrels, which leads to the appearance of defects in the trunk channel, which is also the cause of the projectile rupture in the barrel.
"But rather shells from the DPRK have become only an element of a systematic global problem that increases the chances of self -liquidation to even greater wear. And this is also the additional flying of shells from the DPRK and the range of problems is closed again, " - analysts say. According to them, the enemy was in a lot, since the Russian Federation cannot solve this problem, because it cannot produce the required number of new artillery systems from scratch.
