In this regard, Defense Express experts evaluated the possibilities of enemy artillery and calculated the pace of its shooting, taking into account the supply from North Korea. The material states that after the first supply of weapons from the DPRK is still unknown whether there are further agreements between Moscow and Pyongyang to provide ammunition for Russian artisms.
However, given the data of the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received about one million North Korean shells of various calibers, including scarce 152 mm. "The most active ammunition supplies from North Korea were carried out during September, October and November," Skibitsky said on this issue.
If the number of ammunition of Russian production, which is about 2 million 122 mm and 152 mm per year, is added to this number, there are about 250 thousand ammunition of the above calibers per month. So, Russian artillerymen can shoot 8220 shells on an average day. "These are, of course, purely illustrative calculations, because they do not take into account, for example, those ammunition that the Russian Federation receives from other sources, including from the same Iran," the observers said.
Meanwhile, according to experts, it is thanks to the ammunition from North Korea that the Russian invaders were able to increase the pace of artillery firing compared to the summer of 2023. At the same time, these estimates should take into account the fact that Korean shells have a poor quality, which certainly adversely affects the potential of the enemy.
