For the North Korean military, the DPRK will be handed over by the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters: what is known

It was about the fighters of the Soviet MiG-29 and Su-27, released about 40 years ago. According to Paparo, the soldiers are in the war zones, but have not yet participated in the battles. This statement is contrary to the recent comments of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Paparo noted that the MiG-29 and Su-27 are not considered modern airplanes, but remain "formidable" means capable of strengthening the DPRK's military-air power.

Pyongyang bought his fleet of combat aircraft from the Soviet Union and then in China. Admiral Paparo also added that the correction of the soldiers was planned by North Korea on his own initiative, but did not specify their number. North Korea air forces have an outdated Soviet and Chinese aircraft aircraft, some of them reaching 80 years. These are MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21 and their Chinese copies, as well as MiG-23. However, there are relatively modern MiG-29 fighters and Su-25 assaults.

Pyongyang received them in the late 80's-early 1990s. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the current DPRK park consists of more than 400 fighters, 80 light bombers and more than 200 transport aircraft. Most of them are in a small state and stands on airfields for many years due to the lack of spare parts.

But recent satellite images have shown that the DPRK is still making significant progress in the renewal of transport aviation, and attempts were made to create the first AEW aircraft. We will remind that the soldiers of the DPRK in the Kursk region complained about malnutrition, which was why it was necessary to involve the General of the Russian Federation. Focus also found out in his material why the United States deny the participation of DPRK soldiers in battles against Ukraine.
