Before I understood the headline I was about to comment “Isn’t almost every ammunition lethal?”
All except verbal ammunition. That only hurts on the inside
Words are like bullets
I need more boolets
It can be lethal to a friendship
I pretty much never say this, but good job North Korea!
You know how some people browse others comments during an argument…this one is totally going to be weaponized by someone who you get into a discussion with…
I haven’t really run into that on Lemmy so far, but yeah, probably.
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is a Ukranian war hero, personally by his grace taking out several Russian tanks due to
shittyingenious North Korean manufacturing.
I suspect the headlines over there would be something like: “Glorious Democratic Best Korean ammunition accelerates peace between Ukraine and Russia by killing both sides without spilling korean people’s blood.”
This is not real! That woman looks healthy and well-fed. Checkmate, southern propagandists!
This must be one of those newfangled bullpup tanks
So Kim is a fella? Nice.
It’s also his last name. They put the last name first. Like wha?
Kim is the last name not Jung Un
Jung Un is his rapper name
Lil Jong
All of Japan does the same.

also it’s not a tank. it’s 152mm self-propelled howitzer 2S3 Akatsiya. driver had leg torn off by a barrel fragment, this could be just a propellant charge, without HE shell detonating
DONG WHERE IS MY AUTOMOBILE
i’d only add it’s not clear what ammo was used there, or what is quality of NK shells in general. some of that NK ammo could be from soviet era, some of that could be new, maybe Kim is just clearing storage and treating russia like some third-rate insurgency that they don’t care about, like they deserve. there were some complaints about high dud rate of NK ammo, but this is solved by replacing fuzes
there’s so much of weird shit appearing in western supply as well. chinese 82mm mortars? you got it (from early cold war albanian stocks). japanese 60mm mortars from korean war era? you bet (from american stocks). major difference being that western storage is supposed to have some kind of quality control, meaning that some faulty or soon-to-be-faulty weapons will be - should be destroyed. in contrast russian army is just a hoarder
