TL;DR

Russian forces have started using North Korean Type 73 machine guns in Ukraine, marking the first known use of North Korean small arms by Russian troops. This development, reported by Ukrainian defense publication Militarnyi, suggests a strategic partnership between Russia and North Korea, possibly facilitated through Iran. Despite Russia's own production capabilities and stockpiles, the use of these weapons highlights Moscow's reliance on new alliances and non-traditional sources for military supplies.
