There is artillery, then there is artillery. I doubt 1950s technology will make a difference on the battlefield.

It seems that some of the Z apologists have not read the article.

 

The article describes alleged delivery of:

 

120x Koksan Self Propelled Howitzers: 170mm system, first entered service in 1978. 65km range, it was deployed to counteract the US deployment of tactical weapons. The range enables it to hit Ukrainian positions with relative impunity. While Ukraine does have effective long range weapons, these are in limited supply, and Ukraine is preferring to reserve these for strategic targets, such as refineries, gunpowder factories, troop marshalling areas etc, to wear down Russia's ability to sustain its war of aggression.

 

120x 240mm MLRS systems: These will be the mostly the M1985 systems, built around an Isuzu truck chassis, but also updated M1991 pieces. 60km range. Unguided, so not that accurate. But thats not their purpose. These willb e area denial systems. If its is 120 pieces, this is over half of DPRK's fleet.

 

150 KN-23 Short Range SSM: Broadly comparable to the Iskander-M, and first introduced in 2018. 500-600km range. With the Internal Navigation System, accurate to within 200m, but the Russians will be using this with satellite guidance, with accuracy 100m or better.

 

Some apologists want to downplay these weapons, and portray them as backward. While they might not be cutting edge, they still go bang and kill people. They also outrange the pieces that Ukraine has.
