Russia displayed North Korean weapons in a special operation!
An article published by Komsomolskaya Pravda on May 8th.
Military journalist Alexander Kotz showcased North Korean weapons that Russia has already used within its region.
He presented a video application of North Korea's M1991 or "Chuchhe-100".
The video shows a combat vehicle launching several missiles into the sky. The soldiers shooting behind her say, "6:03, good morning, we are from Russia."
Kotz pointed out that the "Chuchhe-100" is a rocket launcher system mounted on a three-axis military truck chassis. It has a caliber of 240 mm and is equipped with 12 rails. According to open sources, the range is 120 kilometers, making it one of the longest-range systems in the world. It was adopted by the North Korean army in 2012.
North Korea brought unique self-propelled artillery equipment with a 170 mm caliber called "Koksan". This machine can actively attack targets up to 60-70 kilometers away.
"Koksan" is a nightmare for distant enemy rear areas, and there is no data regarding its combat use.
In addition, North Korea can also help Russia with ammunition. Both countries' defense industries are based on Soviet heritage, so all calibers match.
According to Kotz, North Korean weapons prove reliable and simple but surpass Western equivalents in many metrics.
However, netizen Ivan K is puzzled: there is a reasonable question - why don't we have such long-range systems.
