Why is South Korea trying to stop Putin from hurting his own army?

Milk_Sheikh ,

If NK was smart in making the deal with Russia, they likely got technology transfer and/or embargoed supplies of things they aren’t good at making like electro-optics, guidance systems, raw titanium, oil, missile software, avionics, etc instead of just money. Money they can counterfeit or blackmail the west for, the rest are verboten via sanctions.

THATS what has South Korea’s jimmies rustled - the big list of potential trade items NK could get, that’d help NK be much more effective if the DMZ gets ‘kinetic’ again. At the very least NK gets battlefield feedback on the supplied hardware.

Mmm… yes and no.

Russia could totally supply those… but its own inventories of such components is small and shrinking due to the sanctions and export bans. Russia absolutely doesn’t have any to spare right now. If they’re actually giving NK that stuff, it’s basically robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Agreed, India got shafted on tank deliverables for the same reason- but hence technology transfer. And raw materials are always worthwhile commodities or precursors.

Lol, Putin must be super desperate if he’s relying on NK to supply them. The US should just invade at this point, because I highly doubt their nukes are still functional.

Yeah, you should see the quality of the artillery charges they’re getting.

NK’s logistic chain is definitely compromised, but it’s hard to tell if it is due to piss-poor quality control or “Eldest Son” sabotage.

Either way, Russia really doesn’t want to be using NK-produced weapons and ammunition.

Quantity has a quality of its own.

Why would the US want to invade russia

Russia is China’s puppet, even if the US could walk into Moscow freely, they would have to deal with Beijing

Russia is still under sanctions, so it's probably trading stuff it has to spare - food, fertilizer, and oil/gas, meaning this is something that's beneficial for them.

North Korea is probably handing over some of their older weapons (so they don't have to maintain or dispose of them) as well as some of their newer weapons so that they can get feedback on how those weapons perform in real life combat, so this is something that is wish beneficial for them.

Since Russia and North Korea share a border, this trade seems almost inevitable.
