Preparations likely commenced late December 2024 & necessitated by regional port basing uncertainty.

RT @Jeff21461: Ukrainian Armoured Vehicles has received licences for the production of 155mm M107, L15, HE ER-BT/BB and MKM/VMK artillery shells as part of an agreement signed with Czechoslovak Group in October.

Additionally, licences for 105mm M1 NE High Explosive and an unnamed 120mm shell for use with Western donated Main Battle Tanks are also part of this deal.

The licences themselves include the permit to allow for the production of this ammunition as well as the necessary Transfer of Technology to setup their production.

Work will initially begin in 2025 with the production of 155mm M107 and gradually move into the more advanced 155mm projectiles. MNT ammunition is set to start production in 2026.

А эти мальчики выбрали жизнь. По крайней мере, пока (после обмена вполне могут их обратно в штурма заслать)

"But U.S. intelligence agencies have now assessed that the deployment was North Korea’s idea and not Russia’s, though President Vladimir V. Putin quickly embraced it, American officials say...

The senior Ukrainian official said North Korean platoons do not seem to be fully integrated into the Russian fighting force and at times appeared to be operating independently, which has increased the risk of casualties.

At the same time, the official said, the North Korean troops seem to receive better medical treatment than their Russian counterparts. The wounded are often driven straight to larger hospitals in the city of Kursk, bypassing smaller, lower-quality village hospitals closer to the battlefield."
