North Korean leader Kim Jong Un recently supervised tests of new antiair missiles, showcasing military advancements amidst ongoing U.S. and South Korean military drills. The tests emphasize North Korea’s efforts to enhance its defenses against aerial threats, particularly as Kim continues to strengthen ties with Russia, supplying troops and weapons to aid in the Ukraine conflict. South Korean intelligence indicates that North Korea has deployed around 15,000 troops to assist Russia, raising concerns about potential military technology exchanges that could bolster North Korea’s capabilities. This situation underscores the growing geopolitical tension in the region and the need for vigilant defense strategies from India and its allies.
