Actual caption: "Kim Jong-un, seen behind the controls of one of his country's An-2 aircraft, is reportedly a keen aviator"
Keen aviator? That piece of junk will auger into the ground with all of that weight in the cockpit.

I’m sure the MIC could come up with a multi-billion dollar solution to the same problem.
When you realize this country built nukes I’m not sure why anyone thinks a nation state can be stopped from doing it.

That will make all the difference in the next war

Little cloth planes like this are actually very good at hugging the ground and evading radar.

The An-2 is a marvelous beast. Looks goofy in a 21st century air force, though.

What’s a Ryan PT-22 doing in that outfit? Anybody know where Harrison Ford is?

Gas guzzler. Even the civilian drop zone got rid of it.

The NK replaced the metal on the wings with cloth (along with most of the sides). The propeller is wood.
It’s basically invisible on radar.
It’s very quiet.
So goofy or not, it’s not one to be taken lightly.

The Antonov An-2 is my favorite bi-plane. Very slow stall speed and I thinks its the largest single blade bi-plane ever put into production.

Korean War atrocities by the north and its allies included mass graves (hastily dug and left uncovered) of tens of thousands of South Korean men, women and children with their hands bound behind their backs and shot in the head.
You will hear a lot about crimes committed by South Korean strongmen after the war but leftists usually ignore the real war crimes by the north.

start at about the 6 minute mark when you see what US and allied forces found as the north was pushed back.
