from where you get this info?. These are exaggerated numbers on military side. Su-57 before mass production price was $35m
Rostec (80% of conventional arms) military revenue is $44b. now remove the exports and the figure will go below $30b. and than Russia is world largest fighter engine manufacturer. so most of revenues will be in Fighter and Helicopters and there is no evidence that majority of drones or ballistic missiles are North Korean made.

Think about it. 12 Million North Korean Artillery shells at $1000 each is already $12 Billion.
At $3000 each, that would $36 Billion.

Ukraine is not a war of fighter jets or helicopters.

Also Russia is not the world's largest fighter engine manufacturer. That would be the US or China, producing almost 200 new fighter jets per year, which would require 400 engines. Then you have replacement engines for existing fighter jets.

Isn't it obvious that China could make North Korea a high-income country faster than Russia could???

In principle, yes, but:
-DPRK doesn't produce anything to achieve it normally; Korea has stuff China needs, but nothing at this scale.
-Temporarily, DPRK has that much stuff Russia needs.
-China isn't really interested in big, prosperous North Korea: it's quite unruly when it is poor and dependant. Imagine Northern voice when it'll grow arrogant.
-neither DPRK really wants to be more dependant on China than it already is. North Korea is a country saved by China, and they know it, but so do they know rest of their history.

Good analogy is that China is DPRK's pension, and should remain this way. Russia is our Kim winning a lottery. Great, comes without obligations, but it's temporary.
