Half of Russia’s North Korea-made artillery shells don’t work

#Kanal13​ #likekanal13​ #subscribekanal13 #warinukraine - SUBSCRIBE TO US! Half of more than a million artillery shells shipped to Russia from North Korea are faulty, a senior Ukrainian defense official has said, according to Newsweek. Vadym Skibitsky, No. 2 at Ukraine‘s Main Intelligence Directorate, the defense intelligence agency also known as the GUR, said the Kremlin had turned to its reclusive Asian neighbor to complement Russia’s limited arms production, but with mixed results. “Today, if we take the available statistical data, the Russians have already imported 1.5 million rounds of ammunition from the DPRK,” Skibitsky said, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea. “But these munitions are from the 70s and 80s. Half of them do not function, and the rest require either restoration or inspection before use,” the GUR official said, citing Ukraine‘s latest assessment. K
