In September, North Korean pilots departed for Vladivostok. These are pilots from elite units, according to sources in the South Korean government. This is reported by Bulgarian Military.
North Korean pilots could assist Russia. The pilots operate MiG-23ML and MiG-29 fighters, as well as Su-25 attack aircraft. Their training is believed to meet the standards of the Russian Aerospace Forces. By flying Russian fighters, North Korean pilots gain invaluable experience.
As Bulgarian Military writes, the transfer of Russian fighters and attack aircraft to North Korea is possible after this. Consequently, Moscow will help Pyongyang overcome the embargo on air-based weapons. There has been no official confirmation of this information from the authorities of the Russian Federation and North Korea.
