Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov visited North Korea over the weekend to meet with Kim Jong Un. Both agreed on a new defense pact that extends military cooperation between the two countries until 2031. Belousov stated that this collaboration will be placed on a stable and long-term basis, including a detailed plan for the period 2027-2031.
Shared Military Technology and Joint Development 🤝
The agreement includes the exchange of military technology and joint development of weapons systems. Sources close to the matter indicate that long-range artillery and air defense systems will be prioritized. North Korea would contribute its expertise in ballistic missiles, while Russia would offer upgrades in electronic warfare and reconnaissance satellites. Technical collaboration will be formalized in quarterly meetings between the general staffs of both armies.
The Five-Year Plan Nobody Asked For But Everyone Expects 😅
Belousov and Kim promise that by 2031 they will have a military alliance so solid that neither Siberia's climate nor North Korean canteen food can break it. The curious thing is that the plan includes as a secondary goal that soldiers learn to say thank you in each other's language without sounding threatening. Meanwhile, the rest of the world wonders if the next joint exercise will include a missile-launching contest with carnival-style accuracy.
