◇Anchor> One of the online stories is that some of the North Korean self-propelled artillery or improved multiple rocket launchers have been deployed in the Kursk region, so how were they deployed and what does it mean?

◆Kim Dae-young> I also checked on SNS, and it showed North Korea's 170mm self-propelled gun on the train moving somewhere. These days, it is called Osint, so the technique of analyzing information through public photos or satellite photos has become very good. So I just came out, but starting with the building behind the train, there are people who are just looking for where this is.

But it was found in the middle of Russia. So, they are saying, "Isn't this going to be sent to the Kursk front in the future?" But in the case of the 170mm self-propelled gun, it is a weapon that was the core of the fire sea in the metropolitan area in the past along with the 240mm self-propelled gun that is expected to be supported now.

However, taking out these weapons and sending them to Russia is a very important weapon in the front, and sending them to Russia means that North Korea is actually betting everything on Russia. That's how it's seen.

◇ Anchor> If North Korea is betting everything on Russia, doesn't it mean that North Korea's role is getting bigger?

◆Kim Dae-young> That's right. In the case of the 170mm self-propelled gun that came out earlier, it may not be a big deal, but it is actually the most important weapon in attacking Seoul and the metropolitan area. However, if you take out these weapons and give them to Russia, North Korea has a lot to expect from Russia, and in addition to this, there may be another picture of a 240mm multiple rocket launcher being carried on a train.

Then, it seems that North Korea relies heavily on Russia for everything to the extent that it takes out the weapons in front of it.
