Nikkei reporting
asia.nikkei.com/spotlight/north-korea-tensions/north-korea-reaps-huge-economic-boost-from-ukraine-war

Think about it. 12 Million North Korean Artillery shells at $1000 each is already $12 Billion.
At $3000 each, that would $36 Billion.

Ukraine is not a war of fighter jets or helicopters.

Also Russia is not the world's largest fighter engine manufacturer. That would be the US or China, producing almost 200 new fighter jets per year, which would require 400 engines. Then you have replacement engines for existing fighter jets.

Nikkei is not official reporting. it is assuming things. and Russia has never released any figure of artillery use. it just multiple times production increase.
I gave you official statement about engine production. Russia has satellites and it can see what is produced. fighters are not some thing that can be hidden.
just because you dont see or understand coverage in Arabic does not mean fighters and helicopters are less important. They have key role in air borne surveillance and electronic warfare. they make majority of drones of Ukraine ineffective.

Royals can immediately recognize there vehicles.

In principle, yes, but:
-DPRK doesn't produce anything to achieve it normally; Korea has stuff China needs, but nothing at this scale.
-Temporarily, DPRK has that much stuff Russia needs.
-China isn't really interested in big, prosperous North Korea: it's quite unruly when it is poor and dependant. Imagine Northern voice when it'll grow arrogant.
-neither DPRK really wants to be more dependant on China than it already is. North Korea is a country saved by China, and they know it, but so do they know rest of their history.

Good analogy is that China is DPRK's pension, and should remain this way. Russia is our Kim winning a lottery. Great, comes without obligations, but it's temporary.

A prosperous North Korea will be less unruly because it can't be isolated economically from China or the global trading system.
But they could become more like Vietnam or Pakistan.

I doubt North Korea will become arrogant because they see a China which has far more people, is much wealthier and which is already arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world.

No fortune cookies for the honored guests from America!? :rolleyes:

That fancy banquet menu got nothing on the absolutely fantastic "Chinese food" President Trump served to the dignitaries, journalists and staff who flew to Beijing onboard Air Force One with him . . .
