North Korea's Bulsae-4 anti-tank missile system has been spotted in use by Russian forces in Ukraine, specifically in the Kharkiv region. This marks the first confirmed instance of North Korean military equipment being employed by Russia in the conflict. The Bulsae-4, a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) missile system, is capable of targeting both ground and aerial threats without needing direct line-of-sight. Ukrainian forces captured footage of the Bulsae-4 in action, which reportedly destroyed a British-donated AS-90 self-propelled howitzer. The system can strike targets up to 25 km away. The footage was captured by a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone on the eastern front.
