Radio Free Asia: North Korea has started sewing winter uniforms for Russian troops participating in a special operation in Ukraine

The West continues to accuse North Korea of ​​supplying military supplies to Russia to support the Russian army fighting on the territory of Ukraine. This time, North Korea was accused of making winter uniforms for Russian servicemen. This is reported by the radio station Free Asia ("Free Asia"), funded by the US government and broadcasting "news free democratic world" to six countries in Asia, including China and North Korea.

According to RFA (Radio Free Asia), citing its own anonymous sources, three North Korean garment factories located in Pyongyang and other parts of the country are involved in sewing winter uniforms and underwear for Russian servicemen participating in a special military operation in Ukraine. It is alleged that production will only expand, and soon the DPRK will also start manufacturing shoes for the Russian military. Raw materials are allegedly supplied by Russia by sea, and finished products will be delivered by "friendship trains" through the Khasan station, which is open to traffic on November 2.



An export clothing factory in the Moranbong district of Pyongyang (...) has been producing Russian military uniforms for about a month

- RFA quotes the words of the source, adding that the UN sanctions imposed on the DPRK prohibit the export of textile products to other countries.

Naturally, Free Asia could not provide any evidence for what was said, nor could they name the sources of information.

Recall that earlier the United States accused the DPRK of supplying artillery shells to Russia, as the Russian army allegedly "runs out of" them. Washington failed to provide any evidence, now only suspicions are being announced. Pyongyang, in turn, stressed that the DPRK is not supplying any weapons and ammunition to Russia and is not going to do so in the future.

            However, for those places where there is a war, rubber boots in February are very relevant

            It was in 2004 - the month of March / April went to partisans. Outside, the thaw was near zero, so I put on rubber boots (not simple, but insulated with fur, with a zipper on the side). In short, the kerzachi that they issued didn’t climb on me (the leg was crippled), I had to walk in my rubber lol While you are moving, it is normal, but standing on a divorce is darkness. It’s good that the training camp was only 10 days, on the 9th day the rubber burst from a slight frost (it was minus 3 and the sole fell off), so I barely got home. laughing
            PS and it was so dumb to wear an overcoat of 1917, I served in the army in the 80s and we had them ... prohibited !!! only pea coats were worn (soldiers and officers differed only in a collar: faux fur / rabbit and a clasp: buttons / zipper, and the rest is identical). Overcoats when working on equipment were banned by TB - you step on the floor of your overcoat and turn your head wassat

If there is such an interest in who and what delivers, then make your reporter's (journalistic) efforts to cover deliveries to Ukraine. Or the financial sponsor of the radio station is not interested?

      Considering that they do it 15-20% cheaper, 2 times faster, in many respects and better (there, as in Belarus, they still shoot for quality), then let relatives sew. Here, what a thing happened: a month ago, the task was set to deploy full-scale production of everything necessary for the front. Those enterprises that are already in the pool of the state defense order were able to increase their capacities with certain limits in terms of speed and quantity, and these limits do not cover the need. A cursory analysis of those who theoretically could connect and want to (the state budget is a sweet niche) showed that they do not have a guarantee of quality !!!! Based on the general situation, the newly appointed to lead the MTO, and do not want to risk their reputation and back seat, therefore, it is not possible to persuade them to scribble "shit", and there were kind people who suggested, well, if we can "do not buy" combat drones in Iran, why can't we "not sew uniforms and equipment from the Koreans (those that are correct), their climate zone is similar, the idea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbhow a soldier sleeping in a trench should be dressed is similar .... they walk in formation under the drum even pregnant women in the maternity hospital, the word money and salary - is regarded as a relic of the southern brothers, they work for a hat of rice, they hate Americans to the point of gritting their teeth ... in all respects - our clients.

      Oh, how interesting it turns out: the "second army of the world" receives weapons from Iran, winter uniforms - from North Korea. There are also shells from the DPRK. Effective managers, "fuck them - and you can't blame Yeltsin for how many years his heir has been in power with his "equidistant" oligarch friends. And Serdyukov with his chicks was the Minister of Defense under Putin, not under Yeltsin. The capitalists have already ruined the Russian Empire during World War I. We won World War II because we got rid of the tsarist "oligarchs" and parasitic aristocrats on the country. And this NWO, which is already smoothly moving into World War 1 with attacks on critical infrastructure facilities ("Nord Streams") and almost undisguised participation in the conflict of NATO countries, without the destruction of the traitorous oligarchs, it will be difficult for Russia to win.

        Putin thought (a view probably also shared by his intelligence officials and inner circle) that the war would be over in a maximum of 1/2 weeks before NATO could even respond, and this would be recorded in history as a "special military operation." That is why, although he has prepared well on the geopolitical and economic side, he has not prepared and mobilized the military-industrial complex to any extent. By their calculations it should have ended up with extra ammo and old Soviet tanks lying around with some new weapons to show up in the West, but that didn't happen. It turned out that Ukraine would be able to fight for at least 2 months even without external weapons. No one can ever forget the massive World War II-style military convoy waiting in a long line outside Kyiv for days like bowling balls waiting to be knocked out.

        Let's not worry too much if the North Koreans are making uniforms or supplying shells. Or if the Iranians supply a drone with a Chinese motorcycle engine. In the end, the war must end on Russian terms. If Putin can achieve this without destroying the economy or the army, he can stay, there is no worthy leader in the pipeline.

      So the USSR could not afford to give a damn about all sorts of different sanctions, but how are we with this now?
      More ... UN sanctions against the DPRK, an unfortunate mistake by the leadership of the USSR, unfortunately the fact took place.


      What is the "unfortunate mistake" if the USSR could not care about these UN sanctions?
      And we do the same with this. "Wet rain is not terrible."

      And in Russia, probably, there are no garment factories, the ally of Belarus, too?


      1. Factories in RF and RB are ALREADY loaded.
      2. North Korea will do it cheaper and faster.
      3. One does not interfere with the other.

      The mutual support of Russia and the DPRK is very good. Both for us and for them. If only the politicians did not change their shoes.

      I doubt that this is so, but if so, so what? The Koreans received an order, they are hardworking people, what's the problem? Probably the fact that the DPRK can earn some money and the paradise of the Republic of Kazakhstan no longer seems like such a paradise.

      Thank you, but it's better to send 100-200 thousand of their fighters to practice.
      And the same number of builders to restore the destroyed.
      With the right of subsequent settlement on the territory of Little Russia: 7.5 million people from there have already been torn off for permanent residence in Europe and the hell will return. and a lot will leave even after the victory.
      Those. the population there is at least half as much as in the Ukrainian SSR in 1991.
      It is necessary to populate the lands liberated from fascism with hardworking people of the right political orientation

      OSN is already a fascist organization! I don't know why Koreans can't make uniforms for Russian troops.

      If this is true, then...
      The sooner the soldiers and officers on the front line will have uniforms for the season, the better!
      And we have no one to work on tailoring? For the needs of the Ministry of Defense, but mainly for their soldiers and officers, without a state order, without all state orders, they were afraid of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and fines, it is impossible to increase employment, reduce unemployment?
