According to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, since November 2023, North Korea has supplied russia with more than 100 ballistic missiles, the type of which is indicated as KN-23/24. As of September 16, 2024, russians have launched about 60 such missiles at the territory of Ukraine.
As Defense Express we should note that there has been no information about the possible delivery of KN-24 missiles to russia until this moment. It should be recalled that the KN-24 designation is given to a North Korean tactical ballistic missile that visually looks like a "copy of ATACMS" and has an estimated launch range of up to 400 kilometers.
In addition, according to the above data, russian occupiers used about a dozen ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea to strike Ukraine between July 31 and September 16.
At the same time, when it comes to Iranian ballistic missiles, the answer from the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine may even be puzzling. As it is stated "the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has no intelligence information on Iran's supply of about 220 Fath-360 short-range ballistic missiles (maximum range up to 120 km) to russia in early September 2024."
These data are at odds with what was previously published in the Ukrainian media with reference to Western one that Iran had handed over Fath-360 missiles to russia without launchers.
The publication also says that "the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine emphasized that it has no information on the agreements between russia and Iran and the DPRK regarding the number of missile deliveries per month," and that there is no information on Iran and North Korea's missile production capabilities.
Earlier Defense Express reported that Iran had unveiled upgraded Shahed-138B drones with 4,000 km range.
