Ukraine has sold two French-donated 155mm Caesar howitzers to Russia

And for $120,000 each, too, when they're actually priced at $7million...lmfao

Russia should just give the blueprints to North Korea. What's the West going to do, sanction them again?
- That would be unbelievably based.
  
  Yoon Suk Yeol, we're coming for you...
I doubt reverse engineering can be particularly useful (EDIT: fire control systems are apparently pretty modern) since soviet and even later russian artillery was always top notch, but this is so incredibly funny and they got it for pretty cheap.
- Control elements could be interesting. I've read posts from Russian military correspondents (working in DNR), they seem to be of high opinion on US artillery directioning systems (not sure if I'm translating it correctly).
  
  Those are french guns, seems like pretty modern ones, and according to the quick search they boast the fire control systems are very accurate so yeah, those would be useful.
