Russian soldiers complain that North Korean ammunition is causing weapons to 'explode'

Major Patrick Hinton, an artillery officer in the British army, said that questions remained about the quality of the munitions being supplied by Pyongyang. Major Hinton said poorly made ammunition would have an “inconsistent performance”, but given the very large numbers involved, a lack of precision and the occasional misfires would not make a massive difference. He said: “Quality becomes quantity in itself."
