    It really says something about the state of the Russian military that they have to buy up the trash that’s too crappy for North Korea’s army.

            Cosmoline smells more like “gun” to me than gunpowder.

            Brake clean is handy for that. (if you don’t like the smell)

    I don’t actually know what they got in exchange, but I’m guessing the N Koreans got the better end of the deal.

        There’s a lot of technological possibilities. Also just things like food imports.

        JFC, that would be such a pain in the ass for them if those dud mortar rounds got stuck in the mortar tubes.

          What do you even do in that situation? You have to assume it can go off at any time right ?

            Typically there’s a documented hang fire wait time before starting any recovery process.

            Though the official process and the actual process is probably pretty different, especially after multiple hang fires.

            Eventually they probably just see the dud, flip over the mortar to dump out the dud, throw it as far as possible, then try the next one.

        The mortar going off in the cleaning process would set off a sizeable number of other mortars and reduce the amount of firepower the Russians have to kill Ukranians. It would be a net benefit for humanity
