London šC A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to western Russia and could be equipped with 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for strikes against Ukraine, an official at Ukraine¡¯s military intelligence agency said.
Ukraine is very short of high-end air defenses and Russia has tried to exploit this by using more ballistic missiles, which are particularly hard to shoot down.
Russia has fired scores of North Korean ballistic missiles at Ukraine ?since late 2023, but the deployment of North Korean missile forces would be an expansion of the already extensive military cooperation between ?Moscow and ?Pyongyang.
