... S Korea should start supplying large amounts of artillery ammo to Ukraine. It could be a proxy for the Korean War.
I imagine their shells are of much higher quality too.
Actually, South Korea has provided shells to Ukraine, but I doubt it is a proxy for anything.
True. They have a lot more though. Most countries haven't invested heavily in their 155 mm. S Korea, with all their artillery pointed across the DMZ for decades now, is an exception.
I was reading that Japan is sending Patriot missiles and arty shells that they have manufactured to the US. The US can then ship them on to Ukraine. Japanese law forbids sending weapons directly into a war.
But a lot of people sees it that way. The war in Ukraine is proxy war between democratic countries versus authoritarian ones after all.
