North Korea’s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-north-korea-war-735ab717dcf92a718adcb68bfbddc653">troop deployment</a> threatens to escalate the war, and what Russia could give to the North in return has been a source of rampant international speculation.</p><p>The most alarming development for South Korea and the U.S. would be Russia transferring sophisticated <a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-korea-russia-ukraine-south-eu-f8f1a52ee5d59794534a2be12b66fa3b">weapons technology</a> that can enhance North Korea’s nuclear-capable missiles targeting its rivals. Many experts say, though, that it is unlikely Russia would do this in the initial stage of the North’s troop deployment.</p><p>Shin Wonsik, national security adviser for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, told an SBS TV program Friday that South Korea has found Russia provided missiles and other equipment to help it reinforce its air defense network for Pyongyang, the capital. Shin didn’t say what specific missiles Russia gave to North Korea.</p><figure id="attachment_9127615" class="wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" alt="South Korea's National Security Director Shin Wonsik" width="4082" data-sizes="auto" data-src="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" data-attachment-id="9127615" data-srcset="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1 620w,https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=780%2C9999px&ssl=1 780w,https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=810%2C9999px&ssl=1 810w,https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=1280%2C9999px&ssl=1 1280w,https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/AP24327267880255.jpg?fit=1860%2C9999px&ssl=1 1860w"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">South Korea’s National Security Director Shin Wonsik delivers a speech at a conference in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024.

But Lee questioned how significantly it can boost Pyongyang’s air defense, saying Russian air defense systems have failed to effectively deal with Ukrainian drone assaults.</p><p>Many observers say North Korea has likely felt the urgent need to boost its air defense capabilities after it last month accused South Korea of <a href="https://apnews.com/article/north-korea-south-drones-attack-threat-border-d1b2e42665fba63dbf4cf2f36a96f5f5">flying drones</a> to scatter propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang. North Korea threatened to take military action if leaflets were again dropped. South Korea’s military has refused to confirm whether or not it was behind the alleged drone flights.</p><div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit="sandiegouniontribune.com/news/world-news/cube_article" data-targeting=""></div> </div><p>Kim Dae Young, a military expert at the Korea Research Institute for National Strategy, said it’s possible that the air defense systems North Korea acquired from Russia could include counter-drone equipment.</p><p>Kim said that Pyongyang’s outdated air defense system would need years of improvement and potentially huge external help to cope with the superior air forces of South Korea and the United States.</p><p>Shin said Russia has also appeared to have given economic assistance to North Korea and various military technologies, including those needed for the North’s efforts to build a reliable space-based surveillance system. Shin didn’t say whether Russia has already transferred sensitive nuclear and missile technologies to North Korea.</p><p>During a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin already said that Moscow was willing to help the North build satellites. North Korea put its first spy satellite into orbit in November last year, but foreign experts question whether that satellite can produce militarily meaningful imagery.
