As Russia's neighbor, North Korea has been preparing weapons for Russia's military aid in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although the number may not be comparable to the amount of arms provided by the United States and Europe to Ukraine, but the power of North Korean weapons is also genuine.
North Korea's military aid to Russia is well understood, not only because the United States, Europe and other Western countries are their common enemies, but also because Russia can provide North Korea with advanced technology and products. We all know that North Korea's hard nuclear weapons are good, but the world's leading innovative technology is very lacking, so Russia can make up for it.
However, recently Reuters reported that Ukrainian intelligence found on the battlefield that about half of the 50 North Korean Hwasong-11 short-range ballistic missiles launched by Russia deviated from their predetermined orbits and exploded in the air during launch, and were eventually scrapped. From this phenomenon it was concluded that the failure rate of North Korean ballistic missiles exceeded that of Russian missiles.
It is reported that Russia has hoarded a large number of North Korea's Hwasong-11 short-range ballistic missiles, in order to form a super firepower counterattack with Iskander Daodao, the key targets are the key military infrastructure of the Ukrainian army, such as ammunition depots, command posts, etc. inflicted losses of varying degrees on the Ukrainian army.
But in fact, the main reason why the Russian army can have so much firepower is the mutual cooperation between the Hwasong-11 and the Iskander missile, and to a certain extent, the Russian army's Iskander has made up for the shortcomings of the actual combat of the North Korean Hwasong-11.
North Korea lacks sophisticated technology, and the Hwasong-11 also lacks certain actual combat experience, so the shortcomings of the Hwasong-11 cannot be upgraded and repaired in time, for example, in the environment of electronic countermeasures and prevention and control interception, the Hwasong-11 is prone to de-orbit and self-explosion.
In addition, the solid fuel used in the rocket Mars 11 has extremely high requirements for the storage environment, humidity and temperature must be standard, and at the same time, it must be maintained fixedly. Therefore, it is conceivable that under the strong resistance of the United States and the West, North Korea finally transported missiles to Russia, and Russia had to put them into the battlefield to increase firepower before it had time to prepare, and it is no wonder that the failure rate of Hwasong-11 is so high.
For this reason, Russia's Senior General Shoigu urgently changed the original plan, suspended the use of the DPRK's Hwasong-11 short-range ballistic missile, and at the same time accelerated the development of the Iskander ballistic missile. Changing the plan does not mean that it does not recognize the help of North Korea, but in terms of cost performance and adaptability, Hwasong-11 is not suitable for use in the current battle situation for the time being.
In fact, with the current relationship between Russia and North Korea, it is a matter of time before North Korea gets Russia's high-end heavy industry technology, just like the Soviet Union, it has vigorously supported North Korea's military industry, which has also laid a certain foundation for the development of North Korea's military industry, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, although North Korea has the legacy of the Soviet Union, the military industry as a whole is still very strong, but it has gradually failed to keep up with the pace of the world in terms of innovation.
Therefore, after Russia ends the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it may return to North Korea for help, and at the same time, it can also arm North Korea into a rear military industrial base for Russia.
For example, small parts of weapons and equipment, small parts, and raw material processing can be manufactured in North Korea, which can not only open up a military industrial chain for North Korea, but also build a military production base for Russia itself.
But in any case, high-end weapons have to be in actual combat to exert their maximum strength, whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out and slip, otherwise it will be like Mars 11.
