Why Is North Korea Investing In Russian Su-27 & MiG-29 Jets?

North Korea appears set to receive old 4th-gen fighters from Russia, although it is questionable how useful these jets will be.

The Chinese and Russians have conducted their ninth joint bomber patrol and eighth near Japan.

Only the US, Russia, and China still operate these aircraft.

Russian civil aviation is competing with military aviation for resources with the goal of producing 1,000 aircraft not to be questioned.

The first ATACMS short-range ballistic missiles have started raining down on Russian airbases as Russian air defense once again fails.

The Russian industry lacks the resources and depends in large part on international funding – which has been lacking lately.

Taking a closer look at the maneuver.

Russia has fired an IRBM into Ukraine in retaliation for Ukraine’s missile strikes in Russia and ahead of the Presidency change in the White House.

Russia’s ability to produce fighter jets is unlikely to be enough to sustain its existing air force, leading to questions about export potential.

The growing presence of F-16s is likely to increase confusion and fear, leading to more friendly fires on both sides.
