I’d be satisfied just to see them get ten squadrons of the final iteration of the J-7! Was it the J-7G?I want to see J-10C in North Korea airforce
We must always bear in mind that the DPRK is subject to a very heavy UN arms embargo and sanction, so I don't think we will see J-10C, SU-27 and derivatives like J-11 - SU-30, SU-35 in use etc.I want to see J-10C in North Korea airforce
But frend's they could work around this with aircraft models that the DPRK currently has in its air fleet,
The example of the user " james smith esq" with the J-7 is valid, but we must not forget that the DPRK had, indeed has, an industrial structure where it produced the Mig-29.
Therefore, if help arrives to resume the production of Mig-29s (actually it is not known if it has ever been completely stopped) equipped with all the latest updates, probably no one would be able to demonstrate at the UN level that the Russians have broken the embargo, this is because any new aircraft externally will differ little from the aircraft in use.
Alternative, as I wrote earlier, the DPRK draws up a project from scratch for a domestic combat aircraft ( a Light interceptor or Advanced trainer /Light attack aircraft ), in this case the help behind the scenes could speed up its creation, including the supply of subsystems or the plans to then build them on site.
Just having all the J-7 getting out of Chinese units going to North Korea would help beef up their airforce or at least give enough spares parts for their own j-7 to fly.

DPRK has large air force when you consider its population and it will have to maintain things by itself. It need to retire and only upgrade MIG-29 and Su-25. Su-25 is outstanding aircraft for rough field and low altitude flying.
It is using Mi-26 in active use. this is not easy if it is original model.

JL-9 actually
Pretty sure the Mig-29 is made from kits from USSR. Crucial parts like engine were likely not made in the country.
Same between west and east Germany before 1989.
You can say the same thing about West Germany before the collapse of USSR. But it became serious and reality in 1989. Note, East Germany has rejected the idea of unification with west soon after its establishment but it didn't stop west Germany to wish for it.
NK resorted nukes NOT to deter SK, it is to deter US, just look at what kind of missiles they prioritized, they are ICBMs. If anyone who want to reunify his own country, he is not going to nuke his own to-be-unified people. So coventional weapons are the must-have.
It is the US who would not hasitate to drop nuclear bombs on the peninsular to maintain its foothold. The US would not care if the radioactive fallout over all Koreans, or Chinese or Japanese. NK's nuke is to make the US think twice. Just a reminder, the US used agent orange in Vietnam war when fighting in the name of "defending" Vietnamese people.

And poisoned the land for 300 years in the process. Something that the Chinese ‘information agencies’ should produce a three-hour documentary (in Vietnamese language), or even a docu-series, detailing and sponsor on Vietnamese television.
