Hailstorm.

This is coolbert:

“We need every rocket we can get.”

Captured, not stolen?

North Korean 122 mm Grad rocket in use by the Ukrainian Armed Forces [UAF]. North Korean?

1. "‘Need Every Rocket We Can Get’ — Ukraine Using North Korean-Made Missiles Against Russian Forces"

From https://www.breitbart.com | JUNE 27 | via the Financial Times.

"The Ukrainian armed forces have been using missiles [rockets] made in North Korea to fire against the Russians despite their notorious unreliability, a report from the Financial Times has claimed."

UNRELIABLE WITH A HIGH DUD RATE HOWEVER! ROCKETS RATHER THAN MISSILES.

2. "Ukraine set to enter Crimea ‘soon’ after stealing North Korean rockets: reports"

From The New York Post ^ | July 29, 2023 | story Jacob Geanous.

"Ukrainian forces are planning to enter Russian-occupied Crimea 'soon' and have been spotted with North Korean rockets they reportedly seized from Moscow’s forces, according to reports."

Grad 122 mm rockets of North Korean manufacture in use by the Ukrainian! Purchased or captured on the battlefield. Russian having their own ordnance used against them. Injury added to insult!

According to the wiki approximately the militaries of no less than seventy nations or non-governmental militia style forces possess in their weapons inventory the Grad 122 mm rocket. Normally fired from the BM-21 Cold War era weapons system.

An entire battalion of Grad [18 firing pieces] "able to deliver 720 rockets in a single volley". 18 X 40 =720. An entire grid square of 1000 meters on a side destroyed in a matter of mere seconds.

More than likely these North Korean rockets Grad 122 mm captured on the battlefield! But who know for sure? And the Ukrainian surely not clarifying.
