The M1989 howitzer that Moscow obtained from Pyongyang fire projectiles weighing 45 kilograms each at a distance of up to 40 kilometers.

Russia lost at least 400 multiple launch rocket systems during the war. Although the Kremlin has reactivated many old launchers, their number is insufficient to compensate for battlefield losses and equip new units. Therefore, Russia hopes for the MLRS from North Korea, said Forbes analyst David Ax.

According to the head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation, Andrei Kovalenko, the DPRK transferred 100 artillery systems to Russia, including M1989 self-propelled howitzers and M1991 missile launchers, as well as millions of artillery shells and dozens of 7,500- pound ballistic missile. .

The M1989 howitzers fired 170-millimeter shells weighing 45 kilograms each at a distance of at least 40 kilometers. But the M1991 is a powerful new addition to Russia’s artillery capabilities, Ax wrote, because it fires 240-millimeter rockets weighing 85 kilograms at up to 60 kilometers.

North Korea places these installations on the border with South Korea. They have the ability to attack Seoul, which is exactly 37 miles from the border. According to the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, M1991 launchers are “a key means by which North Korea poses a threat to Seoul and South Korea.”

Ax believes these self-propelled guns could hit Ukraine’s front-line cities, especially Kharkov, which is located just 25 miles from the Russian-Ukrainian border.

As is known, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate, since October, the DPRK has transferred more than 100 artillery systems and 100 short-range ballistic missiles of the Kn-23/24 type to the Russian Federation.
