The appearance in the units of the russian army on the front lines of ammunition supplied by the North Korean regime, in addition to the violation of the UN resolution by the aggressor state, may indicate a critical shortage of ammunition in russia for waging war in Ukraine

After the intelligence of the Republic of Korea finally disclosed the constant methodical transfer of ammunition by North Korea to the russian federation, information about their use by russian troops began to circulate in the information space.

First, at the end of October, photos with 122mm and 152mm artillery shells appeared.

A few days later, there was evidence of the appearance of North Korean 122mm rocket unguided projectiles for the Grad rocket launcher system on positions of russia’s troops.

So far, there have been photos of 120-mm mortar shell, allegedly manufactured by the DPRK, although they are very similar to Soviet ones.

If the assumption is correct, then it may mean that the DPRK supplies the russian federation with all the main nomenclature of artillery ammunition. At the same time, it should be noted that the ammunition from the DPRK was immediately sent to the front line, and not stored in warehouses where they had to wait their turn.

This may mean that russia's forces may experience critical shortages of ammunition of all types and the situation is much worse than it is presented by russian propagandists.
