Exciting Reveal: Kim Unveils North Korean Drones and ICBMs to Russian Defence Minister - Don't Miss Out!

Kim Jong Un showcases advanced weaponry to Russian defense minister.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un showcased the country's latest advanced weaponry to Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu during a tour of a defence exhibition. The exhibition displayed North Korea's nuclear missiles and new unmanned aerial vehicles. Shoigu's visit is significant as Russian defence ministers have not regularly visited Pyongyang since the collapse of the USSR. The visit comes as North Korea marks the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice. Kim expressed his support for Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and discussed matters of mutual concern in defence and security. Experts suggest that Russia may be interested in North Korean military industry for conventional weapons, while North Korea may seek missile technology transfers from Russia. However, North Korea is likely to be cautious about providing weapons openly due to potential sanctions. Satellite imagery indicates that North Korea is preparing for a large-scale military parade. The inclusion of foreign guests at the celebrations suggests a new flexibility towards border controls. North Korea's relationship with China, its most important ally and economic benefactor, was also highlighted during Kim's meeting with a Chinese delegation. The visits are seen as political theatre rather than a concern for COVID-19, as North Korea has imposed a strict blockade since early 2020. It is unlikely that the visits will lead to a reopening of North Korea's borders, as the country's medical system is broken and its people have not been vaccinated.
