In fact, the main purpose of General Sergey Shoigu, the former defense minister of Russia, visiting North Korea was to discuss the issue of increasing arms supplies, as Russia's production capacity is insufficient. Russia plans to establish a production line for the "Anemone"-2 suicide drones in North Korea. With North Korea's system advantages, once the production line is established, it will be able to quickly produce tens of thousands of such suicide drones.
Currently, the Russian military can only produce 5,000 of these inexpensive suicide drones per month, and part of them are decoys. This is far from meeting the needs of the Russian military. If the Russian military organizes an attack force of five hundred drones, they will run out in just a few days, let alone organizing an attack force of one thousand drones. Insufficient production capacity is a major problem affecting the situation.
The cooperation between the two sides also involves missile supply and replacing immigrants with terrorist attributes from Central Asia with large numbers of North Korean laborers. For North Korea, this is a win-win situation, as it can not only earn large amounts of foreign exchange and oil but also test the performance of its newly developed weapons through actual combat.
Budanov, the head of Ukraine's intelligence services, stated that Russia has helped North Korea improve the accuracy of the KN-23 tactical missiles based on practical combat performance, solving the precision issue. Now, this type of missile has made a qualitative leap compared to its earlier versions. He also mentioned that the performance of North Korea's "Kaesong" cannons is excellent. These cannons not only have a long range but also high precision, causing significant losses to the Ukrainian army.
