It really says something about the state of the Russian military that they have to buy up the trash that’s too crappy for North Korea’s army.
North Korea’s army which, whilst having a stranglehold on available resources in its threadbare economy, hasn’t seen combat since the 1950s. Its actual combat readiness may fall short of its rhetoric.
They have actually made that near impossible since 2020. The amount of successful escapes per year is now less than 10% of before
South Korea is going to have a wealth of embarrassing NK military footage from this to use in their cross border propaganda deliveries. That could damage morale inside North Korea in a way that’s never been seen before.
Fingers crossed this dumb decision hurts their regime hard.
The irony of Russians bitching about cosmoline is rich af
I don’t actually know what they got in exchange, but I’m guessing the N Koreans got the better end of the deal.
I hope a few go off while they are being cleaned.
JFC, that would be such a pain in the ass for them if those dud mortar rounds got stuck in the mortar tubes.
What do you even do in that situation? You have to assume it can go off at any time right ?
Can someone give me the over-under on this ending hilariously with a large plume, 0 remaining munitions, and a whole bunch of roasted Orc?
