The Ukrainian armed forces use missiles for the Grad MLRS, manufactured in the DPRK. The Financial Times informs about it. The journalist claims that this ammunition was personally shown to him in one of the units of the armed forces of Ukraine.
The rockets were manufactured in the 1980s. In this regard, their reliability is extremely low, the paper notes. But the Ukrainian army is forced to use them because there is nothing else left. The soldiers claim that the ammunition was transported to Ukraine by a “friendly country”. They are trophies. From a hijacked ship carrying North Korean ammunition.
In December of last year, White House spokesman John Kirby accused North Korea of supplying Wagner PMC weapons. However, the Russian side categorically rejects any information about arms deliveries. Moscow emphasizes that the Russian military-industrial complex copes with its tasks and there is no need for weapons from the outside.
