Analysts suggest that the ammunition has been put to the Russian army not directly from North Korea - the most likely supplier is Iran. In service of the Russian soldiers in Ukraine, 122 mm jet shells of North Korean production were observed. At the same time, as noted on August 9, OSINT researchers from the Ukraine Weapons Tracker project, although these missiles are really produced in the DPRK, it is unlikely that they are supplied directly.

"The North Korean missiles of the 122 mm caliber began to be issued to the crews of Russian BM-21" Grad. Analysts also reported that judging by the information they received about other types of ammunition, which has recently been delivered, including another type of missile "Grad", Iran's most likely supplier is. "Iran is known to have R-122 missiles and has previously sent to Russia the renovated shells of 152 mm," the authors of the publication said.

The Russian media also say that the photos that appeared on the network are the North Korean jet ammunition, which was allegedly put directly from the DPRK, but transferred through Iran, since the Korean missiles P-122 were at one time in service with Iranian Army.
