Ukrainian military media analyzed that North Korea is likely to have supplied Russia with a semi-medium-range ballistic missile called "Polaris-2."

On the 21st local time, Militarny, a media outlet that reports on the war situation in Ukraine and the surrounding situation, recently reported on North Korea's supply of weapons to Russia, citing a video posted on a Telegram channel.

"If you look at the video posted on the Telegram channel (Btvt.info ) operated by Ukrainian armored vehicle researcher Andriy Tarasenko, you can see 10 excavators and North Korean self-propelled guns on a freight train passing through what is believed to be the Tumen region (midwestern Russia)."

"Five orbital vehicles carrying cylindrical objects are very similar to the Polaris-2 type compared to photos of North Korean missiles released online," he said.

Bukkeukseong-2 is North Korea's semi-medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM, 1,000-3,000 km), first test-fired in 2017 and appeared at a military parade in Pyongyang in April of the same year.

North Korea has been supporting Russia's war in Ukraine since signing a "treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership" in June.

At first, they sent artillery shells to Russia, which was fighting the war, supplied missiles, and even sent troops.
