North Korea has sent at least 10,000 shipping containers with nearly 5 million artillery shells to Russia, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Won-sik told Bloomberg News.
However, Russian leader Vladimir Putin is likely to ask for more ammunition during his next visit to Pyongyang.
“Putin is expected to seek closer security cooperation with North Korea, especially military supplies such as artillery shells that are necessary to seize a chance to win,” Shin Won-sik said.

Pushing Russia and the Norks into a tight military and economic bond. Way to go, Joe. Is it even possible for anyone to screw things up and further endanger this country and the world than this addled brain incompetent?
I guess those extra ATACMS Ukraine is asking for, will be insufficient.
We have more to offer the Works than Putin does. Does it matter?
And in turn Russia is sending them to Ukraine.
And some of those exported from North Korea to Russia have actually exploded!
(Seriously - The Russo-Norks have a very bad dud ratio of misfiring ammo, blowing up ammo at ignition, jammed and stuck ammo, and duds on landing.)
It is not clear how much Nork cannon ammo has gotten to Iran. Neither the Houdisa (Yemen) nor Hamas nor PLA forces are using much large bore artillery. Yes, they would like to use it, but it is too expensive compared to water pipe rockets, too hard to move around after firing, too vulnerable to counterfire insde cities and slums.
Pole Bean...
“My concern is the upgrade of the NORK nuclear arsenal and its targeting capability given in exchange.”
That’s one of the reasons for NOT SUPPORTING a war that drives one’s enemies into each other arms.
Better to use them on the Ukrainians than the South Koreans.
You can thank Biden for his excellent foreign policy skills. All of the countries know Biden is senile. He’s opened our borders to every known criminal and mental patient being evicted from their own country. We are practically in a hot war with Russia. He’s ruined our economy and industry. And now we have a Russian nuclear sub 90 miles off of Florida. So, yes NORKs getting more nuke capabilities is quite troubling.
Don’t the NORKS get them from Chiba?
We are hell bent on destroying ourselves. And we are succeeding.
Why should any enemy not take advantage of it?
Originally, but the NORKS produce it themselves.
