Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation says that North Korea has deployed munitions engineers to find out why the ammunition it has supplied is performing so badly.
From: Kyiv Post — Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) says North Korean troops were deployed to the Donetsk region to record defects in the ammunition the DPRK had supplied to Russia and to monitor its use.
According to the Militarnyi websiteKovalenko said, “The presence of the DPRK military in the Donetsk region is mainly related to small numbers of engineer troops and is due to the fact that a large amount of ammunitionfrom the DPRK is of poor quality.”
He added that Ukrainian intelligence indicates these troops accompany the ammunition deliveries, record defects as they occur, and monitor how the Russian army deploys, stores and uses its ammunition.
There are many media comments on the poor quality of much of the estimated 5 million rounds of artillery ammunition and dozens of KN-23 / Hwasong 11 short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs) provided by North Korea.
