The DPRK has significantly increased the production of missiles for Russia: new satellite photos

Pyongyang supplies the Russian army with new artillery shells and ballistic missiles. Such a significant amount of military assistance will help Russia withstand Washington's pressure in order to end a conflict in Ukraine on its own terms, Western analysts are confident. North Korea has increased military production for Russia in exchange for money and oil. About it writes the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal for fresh satellite photos.

Assistance from the DPRK can help Russia withstand the exhausted Ukrainian troops on the battlefield and pressure by the new Presidential Administration Donald Trump in order to put an end to the war, according to the observers. Western officials are afraid that North Korea will invite important nuclear technologies and material support to the Russian Federation in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula.

According to Ukrainian officials, the share of launches of ballistic missiles production of the DPRK in Ukraine this year was almost a third. Officials from Washington and Seula estimate that Pyongyang had sent about 20,000 ammunition containers to Moscow, starting with 122 mm and 152 mm artillery shells and 152 mm, and ending with the latest Hwasong-11 ballistic missiles.

More than five million artillery shells and dozens of rockets, including more than 100 Hwasong-11 missiles, have been argued in Kiev. "They may be inaccurate, but their range is striking. It is a real threat to our cities," said a high -ranking Ukrainian intelligence officer. Initially, the DPRK supplied the Russian Federation of artillery shells of ten years ago, but now it is newer ammunition.

For example, 240 mm rocket launchers sent to Russia were equipped with new guidance and management systems. The largest 600mm KN-25 missile installations were upgraded in early 2024 by the efforts of Russian technicians. More and more weapons arrive on ships and trains to replenish Russian troops. About 200 ammunition factories in North Korea operate at full capacity, and Russia supplies fuel and equipment to support the production of weapons in Pyongyan, said Seoul officials.

North Korean plants are capable of producing new Hwasong missiles in just a few months. They are mostly delivered by rail, this year a record from the passage of cargo at the crossing of the Tumanan-Khasan at the border of Russia and North Korea said, said DEMAMENT RECEARCH, director of expeditionary operations at Conflicant Research Demen Splitters. We will remind, North Korea could recently transfer to Russia new ballistic missiles of medium range PukGuksong-2 ("Polar Dawn").
