Russia have blown the dust off the old D-74 122mm gun from the 1940s and are shelling Ukraine with those . Running short of modern ordinance ? 

Listening on bbc world service this afternoon reports that there is a regiment of 20K north koreans ready to deploy.

The HAWK is rising from the ashes for a new dawn in air defense.

Russian men killed or injured fast approaching 700K . Confusion in the Kusk area . Russian fighting vehicle drives toward to Ukrainian tanks thinking they were friendly's . One tank scores a direct hit disabling the Russian vehicle . Russian troops disembark smartish and run toward Ukraine lines and are captured . Second Ukrainian tank finishes the Russian fighting vehicle .  Most of the latest Russian troops are poorly trained it seems .

Apparently some North Koreans have already gone awol? No doubt they think they’ll at least get better fed by the Ukrainians than back home🤔 and I doubt if any do refuse to fight they definitely won’t want to go home!

I read that Russia employs NK tree fallers around the area where they have a very small border.

The money is paid direct to the NK government.

But that’s just what I read, as likely to be BS as not.

[peds]

Russia has thousands of NK workers on a regular basis, there are work camps all along the border, and deeper into Russia. But the terms are clear to all workers before they leave Korea: desertion brings strict punishment upon three generations of your family.

 

You are absolutely right, it might all be BS, but that's what we are told by everyone who escapes, and I doubt they all got together beforehand to get their stories straight.
