North Korea sends missile unit to Russia as Putin tries to exploit Ukraine weakness

The deployment would represent an escalation of the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea.

A North Korean missile unit is being deployed in Russia's Voronezh Oblast and may ultimately field six launchers and up to 120 ballistic missiles.

Russia's Su-34 fighter-bomber is reportedly being considered for integration with the long-range Kh-101 cruise missile, a move that could significantly extend its strike reach and raise fresh concerns across NATO.
