A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to western #Russia & could be equipped with 120 ballistic missiles & 6 launchers for strikes against #Ukraine, an official at Ukraine's military intelligence agency said. Ukraine is very short of high-end air defenses & Russia has tried to exploit this by ‌using more ballistic missiles, which are particularly hard to shoot down. #geopolitics #Europe #NorthKorea #StandWithUkraine https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/north-korean-missile-unit-deploys-russia-ukraine-war-kyiv-says-2026-08-05/?utm_source=braze&utm_medium=notifications&utm_campaign=2025_engagement

@Nonilex@masto.ai North Korea is helping Russia destroy Ukraine but western countries won’t do jack 💩 to help. Disgusting.

#Russia has fired scores of North Korean ballistic missiles at #Ukraine since late 2023, but the deployment of North Korean missile forces would be an expansion of the already extensive military cooperation between Moscow & Pyongyang. #geopolitics #Europe #NorthKorea #StandWithUkraine

@Nonilex@masto.ai Wait, the Russians are hiring a former client-state to provide ballistic missiles? Is this because Vlad's run out? Or all his weapons-experts and -factories are in UKR? (they are. or were.) Or is it for the NORKs to be fall-guys? I can't wrap my head around this; like the US hiring missiles+crews from Phillipines. Or for max-irony points, the Bikini Atoll.
