Per le truppe ucraine, il problema della Corea del Nord non sono i soldati che lanciano gli assalti. È artiglieria, dice il legislatore.

Ukraine took 3 years to destroy the 20,000 Russian arty barrel stockpile, which took Russia and the former USSR three quarters of a century (on a defense spend x5 to x10 that of today) to build up.

North Korea entered this war with 10,000 more old but useable batrels. And those too will get chewed up, by attrition or wear.

Which is a very clinical way of describing a huge and painful process of sacrifice that Ukrainians are taking on, to fight them down until they are no more, a process through which Ukrainians will lose life and limb. But it is what it is, and it has an end in sight. North Korea, like Russia, can’t even remotely keep up (barrel production rate – it’s a barrel game, not a shell game) with the rate at which they are being destroyed.

The AFU has deliberately targeted the artillery teams of the Russian military to great extent. Indeed they have sapped the majority of the strength of the Russian war machine. But artillery is what Russia knows and it is what they rely on.
One by one the AFU will destroy each howitzer and cannon. Each time will be like pulling a tooth out of the Russian monster.
