That’s fantasy.
Those glide bombs have a range of 40 km maximum.
Factories are of western part Ukraine, hundreds of km away.
Good luck to russian glide bombers to fly deep into Ukraine airspace.

South Korea announced Thursday it is considering supplying arms to Ukraine, marking a significant shift in policy.
The potential policy change comes after North Korea’s state media detailed an agreement that could signal the strongest Moscow-Pyongyang alliance since the Cold War.



With Russia facing growing isolation over its war in Ukraine and both nations grappling with escalating tensions with the West, the pact has far-reaching implications.
According to the Korean Central News Agency, the agreement stipulates that if either nation is invaded and enters a state of war, the other will deploy “all means at its disposal without delay” to provide military and other assistance.




This clause is subject to both countries' laws and Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which acknowledges a UN member state’s right to self-defence.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the pact at a summit in Pyongyang on Wednesday, describing it as a significant enhancement of their bilateral relations, encompassing security, trade, investment, and cultural and humanitarian ties.
In response, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol condemned the agreement, labelling it a threat to regional security and a violation of UN Security Council resolutions. He warned that the pact would negatively impact Seoul’s relations with Moscow.
“It’s absurd that two nations with histories of launching wars of invasion—the Korean War and the war in Ukraine—are now promising mutual military cooperation based on a preemptive attack by the international community that will never happen,” stated Yoon’s office.
At the United Nations in New York, South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yul expressed his dismay, calling Russia's actions "deplorable" given its prior support for U.N. sanctions against North Korea.

​

National Security Adviser Chang Ho-jin mentioned that Seoul would reassess its stance on providing arms to Ukraine, a move that would represent a departure from its longstanding policy of not supplying weapons to countries actively engaged in conflict. South Korea has thus far limited its support to humanitarian aid and economic sanctions against Moscow.
 
America told them to, No way they thought of that on their own, a country that entirely depends on America for safety can't quite come up with that initiative

South Korea was already sending weapons via Czech Republic, I don't think it matters

Well, it matter when Poland is buying South Korean weapon as well.

On the other hand, you are also opening a lot of other weaponry as Korea have probably just as much stockpile than it was in the US, since South Korea is always prepared for war, their stock and manufacturer capability is not going to be like EU level but more toward US level. This is not about a few thousand 155 round here and there, this is about K-1 Tank (1000+ K-1 with roughly 400+ Ready-Action K1A1 in storage), a bunch of old Russia Tank (T-80U/T-72), 400+ M113, 1000+ Potential M109/K55A3 SPG and assorted Anti-Tank rocket, that is if they decided to dig deep and send out some fighters jet (old F-16 or FA-50 or something else) and potentially millions of rounds of 155.

What do you expect actually? Not only Russia has red line, but South Korea had them too. This is a very dumb move for Putin to enter into defensive pact with North Korea.

Putin pissed off a probably the world top 5 "military ready" country. I hope he is at least getting something from North Korea instead of Kimchi.

South Korea was already supplying the Ukrainians, and North Korea has big stocks of and can produce shells at a good rate

Between Iran and Nk and Russias own industry geared towards war , Russia will have sufficient stocks to take on the western alliance

Ukraine's major problem going forward will be manpower not weapon stocks

If Seoul can arm Ukraine then Russia can arm Pyongyang too let’s be fair here.
