Russia asks North Korea for KN-30 ballistic missiles, three times more powerful than predecessors

Moscow has asked Pyongyang to supply KN-30 ballistic missiles, which are three times more powerful than the KN-23/24 rockets previously provided to Russia. Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) representative Andriy Chernyak confirmed the request but noted that no actual transfer of the weapons has been recorded yet. Russia continues to deepen its military cooperation with North Korea.
