Russia is now using North Korean missiles in its war against Ukraine, as evident from the reports surfacing in March.
This will provide the hermit kingdom an extremely rare chance to be testing its weapons in real war and against civilians and take away lessons that could improve their performance and expand their missile knowledge, according to a a top US general who made the following statements.
“I don’t believe that in my recent memory that the North Korean military has had a battlefield laboratory quite like the Russians are affording them to have in Ukraine,” said General Charles Flynn, the US Army Pacific’s commanding general.
That gives The DPRK an opportunity to gain crucial details when it comes to technical matters, procedures and the munitions.
The US Military and the Pentagon will now be watching closely how this turns out to be, Flynn, a top USA general said Saturday during a visit to the US Army Garrison Humphreys, about 80 kilometres in the radius of Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
US Deployment of missiles against North Korea
The US will now be deploying missile systems and combat strikes with mid-range capability to the Indo-Pacific region soon, mainly in territories of Guam, Hawaii and South Korea, Flynn said.
The US and allies of the nation have now accused the Kim Regime of sending dangerous wepons to Russia, violating international law.
Russia and its newest nuclear-capable ballistic missiles that are easy to hide and are now very efficient when deployed.
Images provided by the US indicate they are a wide class of short-range ballistic missiles called Hwasong-11s.
The North Korean missiles sent so far are similar in size and flight dynamics to Russia’s Iskander series, weapons experts have said.
A report last year by the Center for Strategic and International Studies showed that the US Patriot air defence system has so far been largely effective in countering Russia’s missiles.
In return for the arms, which are likely valued at several billion dollars, Russia is probably suspected of providing the Hermit kingdom with food, raw materials and parts for weapons manufacturing needed for the DPRK to improve and manufacture more of these missiles, South Korean officials have said.
Top US general Flynn had called North Korea on going testing of Inter- ballistic missiles that are thought to be able to hit major USA population centres and even the White house as concerning a trend that weakens the sovereignty of target nations, and destabilising the region furthermore with its thirst for communist socialist paradise.
