No. Because North Korean is fucking poor. Their military shit is from the 50’s. I’d be very much surprised if they actually provided anything to Russia other than old Soviet era weapons.
Edit: Why the downvotes? I’m not defending anyone here??
You’d be surprised how much metallurgy advanced. Western shells from 50s and from 90s are completely different beasts, but difference is less in NK ammo, which means lower range and lethality out of comparable calibre. This way NK 180mm shell is less lethal and maybe shorter ranged than western 155mm, it’s closer to modern 105mm
Because everyone should trust what this lady says, right?

A simple explosive shell from the 50s and one made today are not that different. It gets launched and goes boom, doesn’t take a genius to manufacture

You mean… Like Russia? I’m not joking… I’m being 100% serious.
