Russia announced in April its ambition to build a low-cost, single-engine fighter-bomber based on the MiG-23 and "real combat experience in the Ukrainian battlefield".
Last year, Belarus also announced its readiness to restart production of Su-25 attack aircraft "with appropriate small technological support of the Russian Federation".
If the above comes true, it will be very beneficial for North Korea. The trio of modernized MiG-29, modernized MiG-23 and remanufactured Su-25 will be the perfect backbone of the Korean People's Air Force in the future. After that, they can move on to bigger ambitions.

1.You are no moderator.
2.there's no aircraft.
It was your post that sm-100 somehow equals a suitable light fighter.
There's no fighter based on these engines, and no one is even looking into designing it. Maybe North Korea does, but we don't know.
It sadly guarantees that no such aircraft will appear in operational capacity in predictable(+15 years) future.
For better or worse, DPRK will probably have to choose from existing Russian aircraft. They're available, relationship between countries is excellent, and DPRK can pay something Russia needs the most.
Feeding hungry emperor soup in Luoyang - matters.
Chinese are a distant second, but for now it looks doubtful. Relationship between countries somewhat soured, Pyongyang clearly grew restless from depending on Beijing too much, China didn't really show willingness to provide aircraft to DPRK in 2010s, and finally - North Korea can't pay.

Calm down! There si no aircraft, he right and it‘s not denial .. in fact you denying reality with such daydreams as if NK could develop a fighter for an eventually delivered new engine, which could replace its fighters!
Really, this nonsense is just painful.
Nonsense … just stupid PR stunts since they have otherwise nothing to show! and you fell for it.
Take thsi as a clear warning! The only one who is claiming nonsense is you! As such prove your point or stop posting! That‘s the way it goes …
"If the above comes true,..."
It won't ! Do you really think Russia will develop "a single-engine fighter-bomber based on the MiG-23 and "real combat experience in the Ukrainian battlefield" or that Belarus is able to "restart production of Su-25 attack aircraft "with appropriate small technological support of the Russian Federation". That's nonsense!
As such discussing about an "if" as if it already happened is like Indian's claims, Tejas is the best 4th generation fighter since the Tejas Mk. 2 is on paper better than xyz!
Leave it ... it's BS
What I mean is that I emphasized the "if" clause because I mentioned it as a reference; I don't believe it completely but I don't reject it either.
And come on, they were only mentioned recently. Even if the Russians/Belarusians actually started working on them right after they announced it, the time frame is still too short to have any tangible results.
