North Korea is expanding a key weapons facility believed to be used to supply ballistic missiles to Russia. We are talking about the plant in Khamkhin, which produces Hwasong-11 (KN-23) missiles, which are used by Russian troops to attack Ukraine.
This is noted in the summary of the Institute for the Study of War (Institute for the Study of War, ISW). The experts analyzed media reports over the past few days, as well as data from the American Center for Research in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. James Martin (CNS).
Thus, the Reuters agency , referring to the results of satellite images obtained from CNS, reported on November 25 that North Korea is expanding its weapons production plant called “February 11 Plant”.
It is located in Khamkhin and is part of the Ryonson machine-building complex. This is the only weapons enterprise in the DPRK that produces the Hwasong-11 ballistic missiles, known in the West as KN-23, which Russia uses in the war against Ukraine.
According to analysts, satellite images taken by Planet Labs in early October show construction of a new missile building and a new housing complex, likely intended for workers, at the facility on North Korea’s east coast.
In addition, analysts have suggested that Pyongyang is improving the entrances to the underground facilities of this complex. CNS believes that the expansion of the Hamkhin plant indicates North Korea’s attempts to significantly increase its productivity.
It is noteworthy that the expansion of this plant was not reported earlier. And recently, North Korean propagandists stated that construction work is currently being carried out on the territory of the Ryonson machine-building complex for the purpose of modernization.
Both Moscow and Pyongyang deny transferring North Korean weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine. At the same time, both countries signed an agreement on mutual defense and strengthening cooperation in the defense field.
Recently, on November 23, CNN reported that about 60 of the 194 ballistic missiles that Russia launched over Ukraine in 2024 were North Korean-supplied KN-23 ballistic missiles.
ISW has not yet drawn conclusions about the consequences of North Korea’s intensification of works on the modernization of the weapons plant.
“We continue to observe North Korea’s increased support for Russia’s military efforts through the deployment of North Korean troops in the theater of operations and the provision of ammunition and weapons,” the experts only noted.
As reported by OBOZ.UA, specialists of the Main Directorate of Intelligence conducted an “unpacking” of the North Korean KN-23/KN-24 ballistic missile for the Ukrainians. In this armament, foreign components of the year 2023 were found, while the Russian Federation first used such missiles against Ukraine at the end of 2023.
Isn’t the hermit kingdom under sanctions? How can this country, which is famous for being in almost complete darkness in nighttime satellite images, produce such weapons, and so many? What do Western leaders think about this? What are they doing about it?
Ukraine is left alone to defend itself from FOUR nuclear powers: the CRINK’s.
The CRINK’s; aka the axis of evil, is using Ukraine as an Aunt Sally with complete impunity.
In addition the axis has the full support of the BRICS, the izlamonazi terror gangs, numerous African, Central and South American shitholes and last but not least, two EU/Nato members. In addition to Orbanistan and Slovakia, Romania is about to elect a TicTok putinaZi puppet as president.
Romania was an axis power in WW2 and committed terrible atrocities in Odesa. Despite that, its people want more naziism? Cunts.
The whole election in Romania reeks of fish, as in fishy.
