Kim Jong-un was shown anti-ship missile systems "Uranus" and universal cruise missile systems "Caliber", as well as a 100-millimeter automatic artillery installation A-190. A model of a Russian warship was presented to Kim Jong-un as a souvenir.

Earlier, Kim Jong-un met with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Vostochny cosmodrome. The head of the Russian state made it clear that the North Korean leader is interested in space technologies, including the creation of modern satellites.
