Kim Jong Un's Russia Trip: Nuclear Bombers, Drones, and Strengthening Ties

TL;DR Summary
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is returning home after a six-day trip to Russia, where he met with President Vladimir Putin and visited military and technology sites. The trip raised concerns about potential weapons transfer deals between the two countries, both of which are facing confrontations with the West. U.S. and South Korean officials have suggested that North Korea could provide munitions to Russia in exchange for advanced weapons technology, despite U.N. Security Council resolutions banning such trade. Experts believe that North Korea may seek economic aid and technology transfers to enhance its missile capabilities.
