Seoul: North Korea sent its troops in support of Russia’s war against Ukraine, in return for which Russia has given air defense missiles to the Korean country. A top South Korean official gave this information on Friday. America, South Korea and Ukraine say that North Korea sent more than 10 thousand soldiers to Russia in the month of October, some of whom have recently joined the fighting.
Russia helped in strengthening the air defense system
Shin Wonsik, a national security adviser to President Yoon Suk-yeol, told an SBS TV program on Friday that South Korea has discovered that Russia has provided missiles and other equipment to strengthen Pyongyang’s air defense system. This will give North Korea a huge advantage in the military field.
Air Defense Missiles
There is tension with South Korea
Many observers say Pyongyang feels an urgent need to beef up its air defense capabilities after North Korea last month accused South Korea of dropping disinformation material into Pyongyang. According to observers, North Korea had threatened to take military action if such material was dropped again. However, South Korea’s military declined to confirm whether it was behind the alleged drone flights.
