I can't imagine they're in great condition though.

Rumor is they often don’t work or blow up in the artillery.

Aside from those 2 failure modes, they also suffer inconsistent propellant loading. Shells need to be perfectly consistent so you know exactly where they'll land. NK shells are a crapshoot.

It appears they have zero quality control.

The one thing I’ve Learned from Ukraine is how unprepared most countries are for war.
