"[There is] agreement on the beginning of the creation of capacities in the territory of North Korea for the production of UAV type" Harpia "and" geranium ". This will certainly lead to a change in the military balance in the region between North and South Korea," he said. According to the general, while the countries simply agreed on the organization of production of drones of the Shahaned family in the DPRK.
Initially, these UAVs have transferred to Iran, and now Russia already produces about 2000 such units per month and wants to increase the number to 5000. In addition, the Russian Federation constantly improves their characteristics - range, payload, communication and attack schemes. The publication noted that Shakhda will not only give the opportunity to attack South Korea, but can also be exported back to Russia for blows in Ukraine.
Budanov said that the Russian Federation also transmits the DPRK with technology. "One example is the technology of production of unmanned aerial vehicles. Another technological solution is, as I said, KN-23 ballistic missiles. At first, with the beginning of Russia's transfer, they were flying with a few kilometers, but now they accurately hit the target. The Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office reported that the first KN-23 party was extremely poor, the missiles even exploded in the air.
What exactly the North Korean manufacturers changed, the head of GUR did not specify. "There is also a modernization of the aircraft of the" air-air "missiles. Special technologies on submarines. Unfortunately, ballistic missiles, which are carriers of nuclear warlocks," he said. Budanov explained that North Korea had "huge problems" with the carriers of these missiles and with shooting from their maritime component. Now the country receives help from Russia.
"And a wonderful demonstration for everyone, as I mentioned, is this famous KN-23 ballistic missile. KN-23 missiles, which were put at the outset, now it is a completely different rocket by its technical characteristics. The accuracy is increased at times," the scout stressed. According to him, the spectrum of weapons that Russia receives from the DPRK is quite wide: from 122 mm howitzers D-74 and 107 mm infantry RSZV to 240 mm RSSU and 170 mm of self-propelled articulation "Coxan".
"Unfortunately, this cannon shows itself in battle quite well. It shoots from a fairly long distance, and it is quite good in terms of accuracy," - admitted Budanov. According to GUR, the Russians received 120 units. According to the general, the supply will continue, because the "coxans" have proven themselves well on the front line. "It's sorry for us because it is long distance firing artillery," he added.
