North Korea, together with Russia, will begin to produce combat drones. Drones will be developed in exchange for the departure of the DPRK troops for the war against Ukraine.
About it reports NHK with reference to sources.
It is noted that Pyongyang and Moscow have reached an agreement according to which the DPRK receives technical assistance from the Russian Federation for the development of several types of UAVs for mass production.
The publication emphasizes that the agreement was concluded against the background of strengthening military ties between Russia and North Korea. According to NHK, the drone development agreement was concluded in exchange for the departure of Pyongyang soldiers for war against Ukraine.
At the same time, the sources of the publication say that Russia does not want to support North Korea in the development of nuclear weapons. In addition, Moscow is concerned about nuclear testing. This can complicate the DPRK's relations with the US and neighboring countries, including China.
