The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian cannon from the 1950s
A video of proof of the destroyed Russian M-46 cannon was published online.
This type of cannon began to be produced in the USSR back in the 1950s.
It is known that the retro cannon uses 130-mm shells, which have not been produced in Russia for a long time.
However, the Russian military uses this weapon thanks to ammunition supplies from Iran and North Korea.
Defense Express military analysts reported that the Russians are using North Korean-made OF-428M shells to fire the 130mm-caliber M-46 cannons.

Also, earlier, South Korea said that North Korea continues to provide the Russian military with artillery shells.
According to the head of the South Korean defense ministry, as of mid-July, they had received at least 11 thousand containers with weapons at the front.
It is known that the military aid included not only ammunition, but also ballistic missiles.
