North Korea has tested a new 240-mm MLRS with guided projectiles.
North Korea said it will deploy their weapons, a new 240-mm multiple launch rocket system.
This was reported by the South Korean agency Yonhap News.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un oversaw the testing of guided missiles for a “technically updated version” of the 240mm multiple launch rocket system.
“The updated multiple launch rocket system with high mobility and fire concentration has an automatic combined fire control system. “, noted DPRK propagandists.
According to analysts, North Korea is increasing the production of missiles to supply them to Russia. It is possible that Russia will also receive these MLRS.
What indicates this
We explain why. At first glance, it may seem that Putin does not need the North Korean “junk”, because such weapons should have been sufficient in the arsenals of the Russian Federation. And the only thing the Kremlin is interested in is the supply of shells, which Putin’s army also lacks.
However, as Defense Express notes, the 240-mm MLRS caliber is not standard for the Russian army, but is standard for North Korea. 240-mm ammunition can be used in Russian Cheburashka MLRS (BM-24 developed in the 1950s), but the occupiers have very few such systems. It is believed that they were produced in single copies.
“The BM-24 system has only had 240 mm since the 1950s, and here one can doubt that the corresponding ammunition has been preserved in the warehouses of the Russian Army to this day,” the publication wrote.
Therefore, it can be assumed that, along with the supply of 240 mm shells, Russia will also receive rocket systems for launching them.
Earlier, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis noted that North Korea helps Russia more than the European Union helps Ukraine. As is known, the DPRK transferred at least a million artillery shells to the Russian Federation.
