Russia may join in the repair of the North Korea ship damaged while descending on water

To spread: North Korea has moved a new battle ship damaged during an unsuccessful attempt to descend water, to the port near the Russian border - analysts believe that this may indicate Moscow's possible involvement in its repair. CNN writes about it. Satellite images taken on Sunday by Maxar Technologies show a destroyer of 5,000 tons, yet nameless, on a dry dock at the port of Rajin, which is part of the special economic zone of Rason - it borders with a short land border between the KNA.

Although Rajin is not a large shipbuilding center, unlike the shipyard in Chonghin, where there was an accident during the descent of the ship to the water, he has infrastructure for basic repair and technical works, said Yu Jihun, Director of External Cooperation and Korean Research Institute. In his opinion, Rajin's closeness to Russia "makes him an important node in the efforts of North Korea to deepen economic and potentially military cooperation with Moscow.

" In the report of the Institute of Modern War at the US Military Academy in West Point (2024), a special economic zone is called "an important point of cooperation between North Korea and Russia, which recently appeared in the supply of North Korean weapons to Russia for use in Ukraine.

" We will remind, the head of North Korea Kim Jong -in took advantage of the needs of Russia to support the war against Ukraine: as a result of active cooperation with the Kremlin the DPRK, she received a modernized army in the "award". The list of new weapons advertising North Korea is growing almost every week and poses a threat to peace on the Korean Peninsula.
