Must be fun putting high explosives in a cannon and not knowing what will happen when you fire it.
Biblically-accurate Russian roulette?
"Roulette" is French for "little wheel", so I suppose this is Russian roue
Surely it's roule? (No I'm not gonna look it up because it's more fun to guess.)
French cares not for your petty expectations of consistency
Every french speaker knows that the end of the word is not. Important
And they sure are roueing the day!
Rare North Korea W
Who though that North Korea would be on Ukraine's side?
Heartbreaking! The worst government you know just did something great, by accident.
With friends like these who needs enemies
... S Korea should start supplying large amounts of artillery ammo to Ukraine. It could be a proxy for the Korean War.
I imagine their shells are of much higher quality too.
Actually, South Korea has provided shells to Ukraine, but I doubt it is a proxy for anything.
True. They have a lot more though. Most countries haven't invested heavily in their 155 mm. S Korea, with all their artillery pointed across the DMZ for decades now, is an exception.
I was reading that Japan is sending Patriot missiles and arty shells that they have manufactured to the US. The US can then ship them on to Ukraine. Japanese law forbids sending weapons directly into a war.
It would be even better if these were shell that were originally sold by russia/USSR to North Korea.
russia army so stronk it can defeat itself!
It hurt itself in its confusion.
pretty expected that they would get whatever deals they wanted from russians and then provide them with shit in return
NK trolling Russia
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia is using low-quality artillery shells from North Korea that are often defective and cause problems on the front lines, Ukraine's army said.
It is particularly a problem in the "Dnepr" grouping of forces operating around the southern Kherson region under the command of Col. Gen. Mikhail Teplinsky, according to Ukraine's army.
Defense expert Trevor Taylor from the London-based Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies previously told Politico that it was unclear whether the North Korean ammunition was of a reliable quality.
Meanwhile, fears are also growing of a Ukrainian shell famine as Western military aid shows signs of faltering.
During its counteroffensive in the summer, Ukrainian forces were burning through artillery shells at a rate of about 7,000 rounds a day, according to figures from Estonia's defense ministry.
Israel's war with Hamas could also divert tens of thousands of artillery rounds intended for Ukraine, Axios reported in October.

Et tu, Brute?
These comment sections are beginning to look just like /r/worldnews.
How would Ukraine know this??? Are they inspecting exploded shells and determining it to be north Korean? If so, how? And why actually? Why would they inspect backfired explosives that belonged to the enemy?
It's called military intelligence, and yes of course that's what Ukraine does. Knowing how your enemy is armed and what specific advantages and weaknesses their equipment has can literally help to win a war. They'd be stupid not to inspect any remnants.
Ukraine also engages in a fair amount of propaganda (so much so that US and UK intelligence regularly contradict them), so asking for evidence isn't too unreasonable.
