The Russians have been importing specialised steel to make the barrels for around 20 years. - They didn't have the capability and have been trying to manufacture at home again as these steels are sanctioned by the west (I wouldn't trust Chinese steel for this job either - the west doesn't import specialist steels from China for a reason).

Also artilary needs regular barrel replacement and Korean Amo shortens barrel life dramatically judging by the number of pics of barrels that broke firing a shell.

Let's hope this is the case.
