North Korean leader Kim Jong Un arrived in Russia's far-east Primorsky region on Saturday, where he was given a close-up look at Moscow's powerful Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and a tour of a Russian Navy frigate.
Kim was met by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu after arriving in the region earlier Saturday in his bulletproof personal train, the Russian Defense Ministry said on its Telegram channel.
The North Korean leader was given a presentation on the “flight and technical capabilities” of the Kinzhal by Sergei Kobylash, the head of Russia's long-range air forces. Kim was also shown three types of Russian nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
