North Korea hands over 200 long-range artillery systems to Russia

South Korea’s Defense Ministry said North Korea has transferred about 200 long-range artillery systems to Russia and is likely to continue supplying weapons and troops to support the war in Ukraine. “North Korea has already provided about 11,000 troops, missiles, 200 long-range artillery systems, and a significant amount of ammunition. There is a possibility that North Korea will continue to send additional troops, weapons, and ammunition,” the ministry told a parliamentary defense committee meeting (quoted by Yonhap ).

The South Korean Defense Ministry also noted that Pyongyang likely plans to ramp up weapons production in 2025, which will be the final year in a five-year plan to develop modern weapons. Among the priority areas are nuclear submarines, reconnaissance satellites, and solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). In addition, the ministry admits that Russia, in exchange for military support, may transfer advanced technologies to the DPRK, in particular those related to nuclear submarines and atmospheric reentry systems for intercontinental missiles.
