Earlier Friday, Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti published video showing Kim’s train pulling into a station in the far eastern city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un peered into the cockpit of Russia’s most advanced fighter jet as he toured an aircraft factory Friday on an extended and rare foreign trip that has raised concerns about banned weapons transfer deals between increasingly isolated countries.
Later, the region’s governor posted on social media pictures showing Kim at the aircraft factory, looking at the Su-57, Russia’s most sophisticated fighter jet, and shaking hands with a pilot. “I’m sure that our countries will keep upholding the ideals of freedom and the multipolar world through our joint efforts.”
Kim is to travel next to Vladivostok to view Russia’s Pacific fleet, a university and other facilities, Putin told Russian media after he met with Kim. Kim Jong Un listens to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Trade and Industry Denis Manturov while visiting a Russian aircraft plant that builds fighter jets in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Russia.Putin, for his part, would want to receive ammunition, artillery shells and even ballistic missiles from North Korea to replenish his exhausted arms inventory in the second year of Russia’s war in Ukraine, foreign experts say.
They warned Russia and North Korea would “pay a clear price” if they go ahead with such deals, according to South Korea’s presidential office. Some analysts question how much Russia would be willing to share its closely guarded high-tech weapons technologies with North Korea in return for its conventional arms.
