Norks rockets confirmed shit? Currently from debri found Nork rockets HWASON 11GA were found ONLY in Kharkiv region, which is directly on border. Russians are afraid to fire them anywhere further so it means
1. They have poor range
2. They have poor aim
3. They are easy to shoot down
Post yfw you learn that Russia is using North Korean missiles
I'm of two minds on this. Either the Norks are going to send their best to show the world just how capable they are or they are holding those back and basically grifting the Russians, who aren't in much of a position to negotiate. It is entirely possible they are just absolute shit though.
Anon, the Russians keep firing at Kharkiv and other locations on the border because the really important targets (Kyiv, etc) are protected by Patriot and other high tier SAMs. They've been firing S-300s in ground attack mode at Kharkiv even. It's intended to terrorize the civilians there battle of the cities style.
Also if these are KN-02s we're talking about they basically have 200 km range max. Kharkiv to Kyiv is like double that. Add in necessary standoff to avoid getting killed by UA airpower/artillery/missiles and you have probably 50-100 km into Ukraine, which tracks.
I know you're gonna say "that means they have poor range" but that's not really the case, a SRBM being a SRBM is not a bad thing, it's a design decision.
Could just be a pure mass/production numbers thing. They're not necessarily great but they're an additional source of missiles on top of the existing Russian Iskander/etc production so they're always welcome. But yes I agree they're probably grifting the Russians hard, maybe even harder than Iran is.
>probably grifting the Russians hard
I've heard that they've been paying Iran with their gold reserves. I assume they are doing the same with best korea. I'm not sure what their gas/oil situation is like so it's possible they've done some sort of deal with that. Point being that gold is a diminishing resource for the Russians. Oil/NG will soon be too if Ukraine can keep up their efforts and the U.S. stops being a bunch of drooling morons and gives them what they need.
Apparently there were some NK funds frozen in Russian bans, they just unfroze those.
Our relationship with the Norks is the most confusing thing ever. Why would we unfreeze them? Sometimes I can't tell if we are friends or enemies.
>I've heard that they've been paying Iran with their gold reserves
I heard the same. Things are going to go GREAT for them.
>KN-02
>There are multiple matches for KN-02, including a North Korean missile and a lounge chair.
Sometimes I love google results
Google is fricking worthless now. I hate it so much. But on the other hand it is nice, because information self-destroying can be useful.
>Also if these are KN-02s
>December 2023, the ring housing the control vanes have been identified as being characteristic to the KN-23 and KN-24 missiles
KN-23 and KN-24, Norks are sending their best
Yea
Ungrateful frickers forgot who helped them with their missile program when noone else would. Now Ukraine has even more of it's own IP trying to blow shit up
You got a source on this? Not even trying to be a dickhead I’m actually interested

The source quoted refutes every claim made by OP. It's a shitty slide thread .
>every claim
which one and where?
It doesn't address a single thing OP mentions, it's just an examination of a engine. The only info anyone has is that it has range equal to the longest range versions of Iskander because it was tracked in flight.
OP just made a bunch of unsupported claims and fricked off, it's a slide thread.
>2. They have poor aim
When did they ever have good aim?
If they're afraid to fire them, it sounds more like there's a chance they'll blow themselves up.
