According to Budanov, Pyongyang intends to send military engineering units of about 6,000 people to Russia in the coming months. Their tasks include demining and restoration work in the Kursk region.
The DPRK's plans also include the transfer of 50 to 100 units of North Korean equipment. Among them are M2010 (Cheonma-D) main battle tanks and BTR-80 armored personnel carriers.
North Korea provides about 40% of the Russian army's needs for 122 and 152 mm ammunition. Production is carried out around the clock. In addition, Moscow received hundreds of artillery systems, multiple launch rocket systems and missiles from Pyongyang.
