NEW | North Korea appears to be using its alliance with Russia to leverage the war in Ukraine as a testing ground to refine its missile technology and broader military capabilities.🧵

🇰🇷🇰🇵🇷🇺🇺🇦 Per a South Korean intelligence assessment seen by Bloomberg, North Korea has provided Russia with 8 million rounds of 152mm & 122mm ammunition, and ~100 KN-23 ballistic missiles.
Russia uses these freely against Ukraine, but Ukraine is prohibited from hitting back with ATACMS, Storm Shadow or SCALP-EG.
