South Korean authorities stated on 22 November 2024 that, in exchange for the North Korean weapons and troops sent to Russia for the war against Ukraine, Russia had provided North Korea with serious military aid.
Notably, Russia “has supplied North Korea with antiaircraft missiles,” which is important because a “poor, outdated air defense system” is North Korea’s major weakness in a potential war with South Korea and the US.
Russia has also been giving North Korea other military support as well, including “help to improve North Korea’s satellite-launch programs. “
