News Articles: Russian weapons

An image made from a 2017 broadcast by North Korea's KRT shows what was said to be a "Combined Fire Demonstration" in Wonsan, North Korea. North Korea is apparently moving to sell millions of rockets and artillery shells — many of them likely from old stock — to its Cold War ally Russia. Russia has called a U.S. intelligence report on the purchasing plan "fake."

North Korean ammo will stretch Russia's supply, but with clear limits and drawbacks

The north's stockpile of bullets and artillery rounds are compatible with Russia's weapons, but may be lower-quality. Transferring anything more powerful would get much more complicated.
