North Korea could supply 10 million shells and other important equipments to Russia

The North Korean army has around 21,000 artillery pieces in its arsenal, although a significant portion (around 10,000) are shorter-range mortars.

If we focus on the larger calibers, particularly the 152mm and 122mm, the number would be approximately 8,500 pieces.

Following the N.K doctrine influenced by the Soviet Union, each artillery piece is expected to have a 45-day firing capacity. Assuming a conservative estimate of 75 daily firings per unit, the DPKR would possess a stockpile of 27 million 122mm/152mm shells.

In this context, it would be feasible for North Korea to sell 10 million shells to Russia without encountering significant difficulties.

While some of the ammunition may be old, it is not substantially different from the #Soviet stockpile that Russia utilized for several months last year.

Moreover, North Korea possesses another valuable asset that Russia needs: the PT-76/85 amphibious tank. This tank would be ideal for Russia's potential assault on the Kherson river bank from the occupied Isles. Recently, Russia has announced tests with the old Pat-S project, an amphibious artillery system with a 152mm caliber. The demand was exactly due this kind of challenge on #Kherson.

North Korea also operates a few thousand MLRS of various calibers, including 122mm, 200mm, and 240mm and 300mm.

It is highly probable that North Korea's support also includes MLRS systems like the KN-09, which can reach distances of 180-200km and deploy guided rockets.

In terms of rocket supply, it is difficult to determine an exact N.K stockpile.

However, North Korea has approximately 3.5 million people working in various industries, with a significant portion employed in nearly 200 arms factories. The defense industry holds great importance in the country, as with any communist nation. Given North Korea's state of war for over 60 years, it is reasonable to assume they have a substantial stockpile of various types of #ammunition.

We can't ignore that a deal between #Russia and #NorthKorea, has the potential to significantly influence the outcome of the #war.
