Russia is buying millions of artillery shells and rockets from North Korea, according to newly declassified American intelligence, a sign that global sanctions have severely restricted its supply chains and forced Moscow to turn to pariah states for military supplies.<\/p>\n

The disclosure comes days after\u00a0Russia received initial shipments of Iranian-made drones, some of which American officials said had mechanical problems. U.S. government officials said Russia\u2019s decision to turn to Iran, and now North Korea, was a sign that sanctions and export controls imposed by the United States and Europe were hurting Moscow\u2019s ability to obtain supplies for its army.<\/p>\n

The United States provided few details from the declassified intelligence about the exact weaponry, timing or size of the shipment, and there is no way yet to independently verify the sale. A U.S. official said that, beyond short-range rockets and artillery shells, Russia was expected to try to purchase additional North Korean equipment going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kremlin should be alarmed that it has to buy anything at all from North Korea,\u201d said Mason Clark, who leads the Russia team at the Institute for the Study of War.<\/p>\n
