Translation: Military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov assures that the Russian Federation receives 122 mm and 152 mm shells, as well as Grad missiles, from North Korea.
The DPRK has been supplying the Russian Federation with weapons for a month and a half, Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, assured NV.
The head of Ukrainian military intelligence made his statement against the backdrop of the visit of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un to the Russian Far East and his meeting with Putin.

What are considered average storage conditions? Seriously asking, I’ve only seen weapons storage in movies, I don’t know WTF it’s supposed to be like. Are wooden crates and cosmoline involved? Help me, I used to be a American Civil War reenactor.
A warehouse with something that vaguely resembles a ventilation system and doesn’t flood on a regular basis. Temperature control is not a huge requirement either.
If it were in a metal ammo box that is mostly water proof would be great as well. No need for perfect environmental controls or anything like that.
Ammo exposed to a humid environment for a long period of time is no bueno. I think brass corrosion is mainly an electrochemical process, so keeping ammo mostly separated would be a nice to have. Coated steel ammo casings might actually be quite a bit more survivable in adverse conditions, now that I think about it.
