Could be satellites for intelligence and all the tech that goes on it. Not the easiest stuff to develop or manufacture. If I’m Russia I would protect the family jewels (nuke and nuke delivery). If NK got rice out of the deal they’re probably not jumping straight to ICBM tech.
“Ask for” well no shit NK wants and will ask for it. Anyone can figure that out. Gonna need more than the literal “speculation” the article says. Like I answered to the other guy, space tech is pretty broad these days.
Space tech has really broadened since then. Sounds to me like they’re avoiding weapons.
Well at least it’s not nuke or nuke delivery stuff. That’s what I was worried about.
They grow rice in Russia?
The Krasnodar region accounts for around 73% of Russian rice output.

Is North Korea shitting their pants that their military doctrine (I assume based on Russia’s) is fucked?
But instead of a work-study program in fields like hospitality and catering, some of them learned only after arriving on the steppes of Russia’s Tatarstan region that they would be toiling in a factory to make weapons of war, assembling thousands of Iranian-designed attack drones to be launched into Ukraine.
In interviews with The Associated Press, some of the women complained of long hours under constant surveillance, of broken promises about wages and areas of study, and of working with caustic chemicals that left their skin pockmarked and itching.
Concrete is pretty much always reinforced with steel rebar.
satellite imagery shows that the main building of the Bocharov Ruchey property in Sochi had been demolished in February and March, leaving a pit and construction equipment in its place.
Completed in 1955, Bocharov Ruchey is in the Tsentralny district of Sochi, and has played host to visits by numerous world leaders.
It is located around 160 miles south of what has been dubbed “Putin’s palace,” a $1 billion site which came to widespread public attention in 2021 in a film by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s Anti Corruption Foundation (FBK).
