Russia Supplied North Korea with Electronic Jammers, Says US General

General Xavier Brunson, commander of US forces in South Korea, said in Washington on October 13, 2026, that Russia had supplied North Korea with military equipment, including electronic warfare jammers. He said Pyongyang had also gained combat experience from the war in Ukraine and improved its mobilization, logistics, and supply chains for sending troops and equipment to Russia. Since 2024, North Korea has shipped ammunition to Moscow, and North Korean soldiers later fought in Russia’s Kursk region. In March 2025, a North Korean prisoner captured by Ukrainian forces said he had used a Russian-supplied anti-drone jamming rifle.
