Impacts of Russia's North Korean Missile Use
Russia's resort to using North Korean missiles in its war against Ukraine indicates pressure on its missile stockpiles, with the potential depletion of strategic reserves due to increased military operations and production challenges. Russia began cooperating with North Korea in 2024 and has used KN-23 missiles, which have improved accuracy through combat experience, although they're still inferior to traditional Russian missiles due to limited technology and civilian components. This reliance aims to compensate for significant consumption, as Russia faces difficulties in maintaining its stockpiles while continuing drone attacks and experiencing a decline in Ukrainian air defense capabilities, especially given the limited availability of Patriot missiles.
