N. Korea reveals first public test of air-to-air missile; experts suggest Russian tech

Here on the peninsula.

North Korea this past weekend shared images showing its first live-fire test of an air-to-air missile.

According to its state media the missile intercepted targets during a training session last Thursday overseen by Kim Jong-un.

This is the first public test since the missile's 2021 unveiling.

South Korea for its part has yet to develop its own air-to-air missile and experts here believe North Korea may have received Russian technology particularly in radar and software in return for troop deployment.
