North Korea’s 200 Munitions Factories Are Running at Full Capacity, Could Last 3 Months

wikitree Views  

South Korea’s military authorities have assessed that North Korea has secured enough supplies to sustain a war for as long as three months.

According to a report by Yonhap News on Wednesday, Kang Dae Sik, a South Korean National Defense Committee member in the National Assembly from the People Power Party, released data obtained from the Ministry of National Defense’s Defense Intelligence Agency.

The report suggests that North Korea currently has enough weapons and war supplies to sustain a conflict for an estimated one to three months.

The South Korean Defense Intelligence Agency believes that the impact on North Korea’s wartime stockpiles due to its support for Russia is likely minimal, considering the amount of aid provided to Russia, existing reserves, and North Korea’s weapons production capabilities.

However, the Defense Intelligence Agency also noted that “if North Korea continues to export a large volume of weapons, the North Korean military may face some disruption in training and other operations due to supply shortages.”

Military authorities also believe that North Korea is operating its munitions factories at full capacity to support its weapons exports to Russia.

It is estimated that North Korea has around 200 munitions factories capable of producing major weapons and ammunition, excluding fighter jets.

The Defense Intelligence Agency stated, “It is assessed that North Korea’s munitions factories, which are reportedly producing weapons for export to Russia since the Russia-Ukraine war, are currently operating at maximum capacity to increase production.”
