The bulletproof vest, presented by the governor of the Russian region of Primorye, offers protection for the chest, shoulders, throat, and midsection. Notably, it is lighter than its known analogs, making it an attractive addition to Kim’s security measures.
In addition to the vest, Kim was presented with five kamikaze drones and a Geranium-25 aircraft-type reconnaissance drone from the same region. A set of special clothing that is invisible to thermal imaging cameras was also part of the gifts, further raising eyebrows about potential uses.
Kim Jong Un discussed military cooperation with Russia’s Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu during his visit, emphasizing the military focus of the trip.
Following a farewell ceremony featuring a red carpet and honor guards, Kim boarded his personal armored train, which departed from the Artyom railway station, with Russian officials bidding him farewell.
The train is set to cover over 200 kilometers, transporting Kim from Artyom to the border town of Khasan. The journey symbolizes the culmination of Kim’s visit to Russia, during which significant discussions on various matters, including military cooperation, took place.
