Rare North Korean rocket system spotted in Russian hands.
A North Korean-made M1991 240mm multiple rocket launcher has been visually confirmed on the battlefield in Ukraine, according to open-source footage and battlefield analysis.
As noted by analysts, the launcher was identified by its 22-tube configuration and modified cab, which included additional armor plating not typically seen on legacy variants.
A distinguishing tactical marking of Russia’s “Sever” (North) Group of Forces was visible on the cab of the launcher, indicating that at least some of the M1991 systems may be operated by units under the Leningrad Military District.
