    From the article:

    Most of North Korea’s shells have been sent to Russia by ship, although NK Pro said that they may now have shifted onto its railway system.

    “It also cannot be ruled out that weapons are being transferred to Russia by air or by rail,” it said.

    So they probably havent, but are using less detectable means.

      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

        I can’t imagine they’re in great condition though.

            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.

          $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.
