North Korean MiG-23- Very Nice!
It’s horrendoulsly amazing to see ageing Yak-11s flying about in flocks too, all of which were believed flown from Kang-dong AFB, where it houses a local flying club and air force squadrons operating CJ-6 and AN-2 in small numbers.
It’s hard to tell, but activities of the entire fleet of N.korean AF could have been stopped altogether due to increasing levels of economic turmoil starting in early 90.
I doubt if they were supplied with some extra-spare parts from either CHiCOM or russia to be able to flawlessly conduct flight trainings on a regular basis.
Still the PRC continues furnishing them with a large stockpile of oils, household goods, however, the situation in S.korea has been reversed when growing relationship with N.korea has been completely dropped recently,
Therefore, thousands of southerners ceased unwillingly organizing a week-long tour in the Mountains of Keum-Kang.
To be realistic, They were overly instrumental in reviving N.korea’s listing economy and surging up the N.korean at combat readiness greatly, enabling them to renew stopped flying exercises on a large scale (Think of how their brand-new MiG-23 did a dumb thing like dog-paddling to get near the JSDAF recce aircraft, flanking the JSDAF’s aerial reconnaisance activities over the sea of Japan recently), but just keep sitting mum, bringing up no word on this issue.:D
