The United States and South Korea fear the revival of Moscow’s friendship with Pyongyang could give Kim access to some of Russia’s sensitive missile and other technology
Shoigu showed Kim Russia’s strategic bombers - the Tu-160, Tu-95 and Tu-22M3 - which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons and form the backbone of Russia’s nuclear air attack force, Russia’s defence ministry said.Kim was shown asking about how the missiles were fired from the aircraft, at times nodding and smiling.
Russia’s ambassador to North Korea, Alexander Matsegora, told reporters that Kim’s program was “very intense” and that it was not yet clear how long he would remain in Russia, Russian state news agency RIA reported. Russia has gone out of its way to publicise Kim’s visit and drop repeated hints about the prospect of military cooperation with North Korea, which was formed in 1948 with the backing of the Soviet Union.
