20 Nov 2025

After recent use of North Korean submunitions in Kherson and Pokrovsk, its associated 122 Sanpo dispenser rocket has been seen in Ukraine

More imagery of a Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, A.K.A. North Korea) 122 mm dispenser rocket has been released
The rocket was being disassembled in Ukraine by Russian forces, likely to access the submunitions for UAV munitions
It has been provisionally designated the 122 Sanpo (KN: 122 산포, translation: distribution), based on the DPRK 107 Sanpo (KN: 107 산포) which is also in Ukraine
The rocket carries high-explosive dual-purpose (HEDP) submunitions and is believed to be fitted with a powder train time fuze
