North Korean leader Kim Jong Un capped his visit to Russia with an inspection of next-generation missile systems and a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
The meeting took place at the Knevichi airfield near Vladivostok, the Russian defense ministry said in a on its Telegram channel said. Kim inspected the new Kinzhal hypersonic missile system, supersonic bombers and the latest weapons on the MiG-31 missile carrier, it said.
Kim also visited Russia’s Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate on Saturday, the defense ministry said. On Friday, he toured a factory that makes fighter jets and other aircraft and was shown planes including the Su-35, and the Su-57 stealth combat fighter. The US has for months accused Kim of providing arms and ammunition to aid Putin’s war, including sending shells and rockets. While the US has said the weapons aren’t likely to alter the battlefield, they can aid in the bombardment of Ukraine, while sales could provide North Korea with a new stream of revenue for an economy isolated from much of world trade.
