"Significant numbers": Budanov said how many self-propelled artillery systems and multiple launch rocket systems North Korea had supplied to Russia

Russia has received 120 long-range self-propelled artillery systems (SAU) of 170 mm caliber and 120 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) of 240 mm caliber from North Korea.

This was said by Chief of the Defence Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, as reported by LIGA.net.

According to Budanov, the North Koreans have already delivered this equipment to Russia, and the occupiers have begun using it on the front lines.

Budanov did not specify the exact types of SAU and MLRS received by the Russians from Kim Jong Un. However, these include the M1989 Koksan self-propelled artillery systems and M-1991 multiple launch rocket systems with a 240 mm caliber. They are analogous to the Soviet "Uragan" system. The Financial Times newspaper had previously reported on the supply of North Korean "Uragans."

"These are quite significant numbers," the Chief of the Defence Intelligence said.

He also noted that there is "one more question" regarding how much more North Korean weaponry is being supplied to Russia.
