In the ongoing Ukraine conflict, at least 60 North Korean-supplied ballistic missiles, alongside millions of artillery shells, have been deployed by Russia. These missiles, including KN-23/24 types, reportedly exhibit lower accuracy due to outdated technology. Furthermore, thousands of North Korean soldiers have joined the fighting in Russia’s Kursk Oblast since October, contributing to the ongoing conflict. This military and material support from North Korea is believed to be in exchange for economic aid and assistance to Pyongyang’s nuclear program.

Ukraine’s military intelligence reported that North Korea has supplied Russia with over 100 short-range ballistic missiles and over 5 million artillery shells, including various artillery systems. This arms transfer, ongoing since last month, follows a visit by the Russian defense minister to Pyongyang, signifying deepening military cooperation between the two nations. The substantial North Korean military aid is believed to bolster Russia’s efforts to regain territory lost in Kursk Oblast, a key objective before potential peace negotiations. North Korea has also reportedly deployed over 10,000 troops to support Russia’s war effort.

Ukraine has achieved a significant milestone in its defense capabilities with the production of its first 100 domestically-made missiles, a testament to our nation’s resilience and determination in the face of Russian aggression. This achievement comes after the successful development and testing of a ballistic missile and a missile-drone, bolstering our ability to defend ourselves against the ongoing invasion. The production of these weapons is crucial for our defense strategy as we strive for greater independence in our military capabilities, particularly in the absence of Western support for deep strikes into Russia. We are confident that our domestic weapons production will continue to grow and strengthen our ability to defend our sovereignty.

Ukraine has achieved significant progress in domestic weapons production this year, with the milestone of 100 missiles produced domestically. This follows an increase in domestic production of artillery, ammunition, and drones, reflecting a commitment to strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities. These efforts are further bolstered by the establishment of systemic models for partner investment in Ukrainian arms production, notably with Denmark and France, signifying a shift towards localized weapon manufacturing. With over 800 companies now involved in the production of weaponry for Ukraine’s defense forces, this expansion in domestic production is expected to enhance Ukraine’s military strength and resilience.

The news of Iran preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack against Israel is deeply troubling. The White House has indicated that there are clear indications of an attack being planned and is actively supporting defensive preparations to protect Israel. The potential consequences of a direct military attack from Iran on Israel are severe, and it is crucial to take this threat seriously.
Israel’s assessment that Iran may target specific Israeli air bases and an intelligence base adds another layer of urgency to the situation. The evacuation of the intelligence base in Glilot and the implementation of contingency plans for the safety of personnel highlight the seriousness of the potential threat posed by Iran’s actions.… Continue reading
Satellite images have recently revealed a Russian ship allegedly transporting ballistic missiles from Iran. The situation has sparked a flurry of online comments, with many suggesting various forms of sabotage or attacks on the ship. Some have even jokingly brought up the idea of the ship falling out of a window or being mysteriously sunk. While these comments may seem light-hearted, they do highlight the seriousness of the situation at hand.
The fact that ballistic missiles are being transported from Iran to Russia raises several questions and concerns. It brings to light the close alliance between Iran and Russia, as well as the potential implications of this military cooperation.… Continue reading
The news of Russia striking Poltava with ballistic missiles, resulting in the deaths of 41 individuals and injuring over 180, is nothing short of a tragic and brutal act of violence. The sheer disregard for human life displayed by Russia is appalling and should not be tolerated by the international community. As I read about the details of the attack, my heart aches for the innocent victims and their families who have been affected by this senseless act of aggression.
The lack of red lines drawn by Russia on the map, as some like to claim, is a myth that has been shattered with this despicable attack.… Continue reading
The recent reports of at least half of Iranian ballistic missiles failing or crashing prematurely are both concerning and eye-opening. It seems that the Islamic Republic of Iran, despite its attempts to appear powerful and intimidating, has displayed a glaring level of incompetence when it comes to direct attacks beyond its borders. The fact that their long-range weaponry has only a 1% hit rate against modern air defense systems is truly embarrassing.
It’s almost comical how Iran’s proxies seem to do a better job than Iran itself. The chatter of needing hundreds of missiles to hit just a handful of targets, and the comparison to North Korea’s inflatable threat tactics, paint a picture of an inept military force trying desperately to flex its muscles.… Continue reading
This recent news of Iran sending hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia is truly concerning. The connection between these two countries, both known for their destabilizing actions on the global stage, is alarming. The sheer number of missiles, 400 to be exact, could easily be used in mass attacks to overwhelm air defense systems, leading to devastating consequences.
It’s no surprise that Iran, a known state sponsor of terrorism, is supporting Russia, another authoritarian regime with a history of aggression. The fact that these missiles are being sent raises questions about the concept of escalation. Shouldn’t there be more concern about the implications of such actions on the international stage?… Continue reading
