North Korea's Kim views Russian nuclear-capable bombers, hypersonic missiles

The Hindu  

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers, hypersonic missiles and warships on September 16, accompanied by President Vladimir Putin's Defence Minister. A smiling Mr. Kim was greeted in Russia's Knevichi airfield, about 50 km miles from the Pacific city of Vladivostok, by Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, who saluted Mr. Kim. The United States and South Korea fear the revival of Moscow's friendship with Pyongyang could give Mr. Kim access to some of Russia's sensitive missile and other technology while helping arm Russia in its war in Ukraine. After the aircraft and missiles, Mr. Kim inspected the warship of Russia's Pacific fleet in Vladivostok, where he was due to watch a demonstration by the Russian navy.
