Sergei Shoigu shows North Korean leader strategic bombers that form the backbone of Russia’s nuclear air attack force
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un inspected Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers and hypersonic “Kinzhal” missiles on Saturday, accompanied by President Vladimir Putin’s defence minister.
Reuters reports a smiling Kim was greeted in Russia’s Knevichi, about 50km (30) miles from the coastal city of Vladivostok, by Sergei Shoigu, who saluted Kim before the North Korean leader inspected a guard of honour.
It can fly from Moscow to Japan and then back again.
