Mysterious Military Flight from Russia to North Korea

There has been a new development that suggests that military relations between Russia and North Korea are getting stronger. A Russian Air Force Ilyushin Il-62M military aircraft made a mysterious visit to Pyongyang over the weekend.

The plane took off from Chkalovsky Air Base in Moscow and landed at Sunan International Airport in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. But it took off again just two hours later and left the country. No official statement was made about the nature of the visit, the first confirmed flight to North Korea this year.

Military analysts believe that high-ranking Russian officials may have been on the plane. It is known that similar flights carried out previously were related to military and strategic talks. It is particularly noteworthy that Russian military flights increased after Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu's visit to Pyongyang in 2023.

The purpose of the latest flight remains unclear, with US and Western intelligence sources suggesting that North Korea has been supplying Russia with ammunition and ballistic missiles. Military experts say the visit could be related to military technology transfer, ammunition supplies or a new cooperation agreement.
