    They’re probably sitting on warehouses of those things, they spend a ridiculous amount of their GDP on the military. They just want a better deal and the more disastrous the war becomes for Russia the more leverage they have

          Aside from those 2 failure modes, they also suffer inconsistent propellant loading. Shells need to be perfectly consistent so you know exactly where they’ll land. NK shells are a crapshoot.

            It appears they have zero quality control.

            The one thing I’ve Learned from Ukraine is how unprepared most countries are for war.

        $48.3 billion, apparently.

        Which sounds like a lot, but they’re also ranked 135th out of 213, roughly behind most African nations and ahead of most island nations.
