In addition, hundreds of small range ballistic missiles, including tactical controlled missiles (KN-23) and excessive reactive volley fire systems (K-24), will be included in the military aid package. "The scale of military assistance reflects the strengthening of strategic partnership between North Korea and Russia. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation face a shortage of weapons, and the supply of weapons from North Korea can significantly affect the war," the newspaper says.
In addition to February 4, North Korea has sent a delegation to Russia for negotiating defense technologies. The Russian Federation in exchange will provide the most important technologies for accurate missiles, the assembly of aircraft and radar systems in February and March, says the interlocutor. "If Russia fulfills our request from February 2024 for the Improvement of Air Force technology, we plan to complete the assembly line of aircraft by the end of the year," the DPRK said.
The North Korean delegation will work with Russian engineers to obtain advanced technologies for the modernization of the MiG-29 and Su-25 fighter jets, as well as opportunities for the assembly of aircraft and radars. "The transfer of technology will help Pyongyang improve the air defense systems and about, strengthen intelligence and offensive opportunities. As a result, it will change the military balance on the Korean Peninsula," analysts say.
The Senior Researcher at the Korean Institute of National Association (KINU) Hong Ming believes that the possibility of deploying additional troops signals the deeper changes in relations between the DPRK and Russia. "If the DPRK expands the list of technologies to tactical weapons, super -large missile units and artillery, the relations of the two countries will turn into a military union," the expert emphasized.
