Possibility of requesting military and weapons support from North Korea before Trump’s second term takes office
In exchange, we may discuss transferring advanced military technology such as ICBMs and nuclear submarines to North Korea.
Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov visited North Korea on the 29th. Ahead of the launch of the ‘Trump 2nd term’, the head of the National Defense made a surprise visit to North Korea as the war situation intensified, with more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers being dispatched to Russia and being sent into battle. There are speculations that discussions on the transfer of advanced military technology from Russia to North Korea, including intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) re-entry technology and nuclear-powered submarine construction technology that the South Korean and U.S. authorities are watching, as well as the expansion of North Korean troops and weapons support to Russia, are taking place in earnest.
Minister Belousov is expected to meet North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un during his visit to North Korea. With North Korea’s Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui also meeting President vladimir Putin during a visit to Russia earlier this month, there is also the possibility that North Korea and Russia could discuss Chairman Kim’s visit to North Korea through high-level exchanges.
Minister Belousov is likely to have requested Noh Kwang-cheol to provide weapons and dispatch additional troops in order to gain a clear advantage before the donald Trump management,which is expected to push for an end to the war in Ukraine,takes office in January next year. There is speculation that Noh Gwang-cheol may demand the transfer of cutting-edge military technology, such as ICBMs and nuclear-powered submarines, that can threaten the U.S. mainland in return for this.
After then-Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu visited North Korea in July of last year on the occasion of Victory Day (the day of the Korean War armistice agreement),North Korea’s support for weapons against Russia,including artillery shells,began in earnest,and two months later,in September of that year,Chairman Kim visited North Korea. Since it was concluded, South Korean and American authorities believe that similar ‘sensitive’ discussions are likely to take place during Secretary Belousov’s visit to North Korea. A government source said, “This could be another inflection point in North Korea-Russia military cooperation, just as North Korea began the process of sending troops to Russia after the current Secretary of the National Security Council, Shoigu, visited North Korea in September of this year.”
In addition, North Korea is preparing to launch a military reconnaissance satellite with engine support from Russia, but the launch is being delayed. There is a possibility that the Russian defense chief’s visit to North Korea will lead to progress in related technical support and cooperation. After dispatching North Korean troops, russia has already provided related equipment and surface-to-air missiles to North Korea to reinforce Pyongyang’s air defense network.
