Summary and Key Points: The war in Ukraine has taken an unexpected turn, forcing Russia to scramble for military resources and turn to allies like Iran and North Korea for support. Isolated on the global stage due to its illegal invasion and allegations of war crimes, Russia has received suicide drones from Iran and artillery shells from North Korea.
-Recent frontline videos reveal that North Korea has also supplied Russia with Bulsae-4 anti-tank missile vehicles, likely to compensate for significant losses in armored vehicles. The Bulsae-4, based on the Russian BTR-80 chassis, is designed to target enemy tanks, a crucial role in the ongoing conflict where tanks remain central to ground combat.
-The high number of Russian tank losses, estimated between 3,000 and 8,000, underscores the severity of the situation.
Russia Needs Help for the Ukraine War: North Korea Is the Answer
The war in Ukraine took an unanticipated trajectory, and it has thrown the Russian military off guard, forcing it to resort to emergency solutions to remain in the fight.
Russia’s illegal invasion and its cruel behavior in Ukraine – evidence from multiple sources suggests that Russian troops have engaged in repeated war crimes – have marginalized it in the international community.
As such, Moscow has turned to unsavory bedfellows to find military support for its war. Iran and North Korea have provided assistance to the Russian military.
Tehran has provided thousands of suicide drones to Moscow, many of which have been used against Ukrainian urban centers and critical infrastructure. Pyongyang sends artillery shells, and now, anti-tank missile vehicles.
