Despite being communist the North Koreans are still NE Asians and are very good at manufacturing. An estimate I read is that 50% of the artillery shells the Russians have fired this year are from North Korea. The North Korean army's equipment works with the Russian equipment. So Russia is ordering huge amounts of artillery shells, Katyusha style rockets, mortars, etc. from North Korea. North Korea is estimated to have 25 million people which is substantial. The Russians with their resource exports have money, and things are cheap to buy in Asia.
North Korean military people are showing up in support functions. At minimum they are studying modern combat and working to maintain North Korean equipment. My view since early in the war is North Korea has to get in this thing. They have been preparing for 70 years since the end of the Korean war for the next war. There probably won't be another major war on this scale again after this war as the worlds population is headed for dramatic reduction with low birthrates.
What makes this war so big imo is that if Russia gets taken over by the West and thus joins the West, it seems a matter of time before the West takes over the rest of the world. Thus Russia's allies have to fight this all out if necessary. They have to create other fronts and get all the way behind Russia if necessary. Probably the war won't have a definitive end anytime soon, the frontlines could stay fairly stable and the war could go on for decades.
My argument is Russia won't stop until either it gets most of Eastern Europe back or Russia goes down.
