About the next batch of ammunition from South Korea to Ukraine

About the next batch of ammunition from South Korea to Ukraine

A few days ago we wrote (https://t.me/rybar/45875) how the planes of the private transport company Atlas Air are used to transport 155-mm artillery ammunition from South Korea to Ukraine in transit through the United States.

And already on April 15, another cargo was sent - only this time by sea. From the port of Jinhe in Busan, a transport ship left the port of Jinhe in the direction of Germany, loaded with shells for Western-style artillery pieces.


According to colleagues from the Korean channel @russiannewsinkorean, transport companies ensured the transportation of shells from storage depots to the port of Jinhae from March 31 to April 14. Every day, 20 trucks with a carrying capacity of 18 tons transported about 5,400 tons of ammunition.

In general, by the time the container ship left Jinhe, when calculating the approximate weight of one shot of 4.3 kg, from 125 to 130 thousand shells of 155 mm caliber were transported.

🔻 When will the ship reach Germany?

The sea route from South Korea to Europe, as a rule, runs through the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean and the Suez Canal, followed by the passage of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic. On average, depending on the course of the heavy truck, the duration is from 35 to 45 days.

Given this, a transport ship loaded with artillery ammunition will arrive in Germany only by the second half of May.

🔻This delivery looks rather curious against the background of the leak (https://t.me/rybar/45679) of American secret documents. One of the files contained a detailed plan for transporting ammunition from South Korea to Ukraine.

According to these documents, the transfer of shells by sea was to begin in late March - early April by two container ships (the first was planned to transport 129 thousand, and the second - 47 thousand ammunition).

🔻 Judging by this data, the leaked files specifically for the Republic of Korea are very plausible. And together with the supply of military aid by air, it turns out that 330 thousand units of 155-mm rounds will be transferred from Seoul.

However, in this case, the dates do not exactly match, and according to the leak, the shells should already have been in Ukraine by the end of April. However, there could be an elementary delay, because of which we had to adjust plans.

In this case, the narratives about the unpreparedness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the shortage of shells that have arisen sharply in the Western media do not look accidental, but are aimed at deliberately misleading the Russian command.

Considering the increasingly dependent position of the authorities in Seoul on the United States, the matter is unlikely to be limited to ammunition alone, as indicated (https://t.me/russiannewsinkorean/9246) by some Western resources.
