Russia is eager for North Korea’s stockpile of artillery shells, while Pyongyang is looking for help with satellite technology and upgrading its Soviet-era military equipment, An Chan-il, a defector-turned-researcher who runs the World Institute for North Korea Studies, said. The meeting at the cosmodrome is symbolic, especially as Pyongyang failed twice recently in its bid to put a military spy satellite into orbit, experts said.
Kim had earlier stressed the trip - his first post-pandemic foreign travel - showed North Korea was ‘prioritising the strategic importance’ of its Russia ties. Kim thanked Putin for inviting him to visit, despite the Russian leader’s ‘busy schedule’. ‘The leader of the DPRK shows great interest in rocket technology, and they are trying to develop (their presence in) space,’ Putin said, referring to North Korea by its official name. Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu took part in the talks with Kim, as did foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, images on Russian state television showed.Īhead of the announcement of the talks, Russian news agencies published images of Kim and Putin touring the vast space centre. Kim, who travelled overland to Russia in his bullet-proof train, was accompanied by an entourage that suggested the summit would have a strong military focus.Īmong the top military officials accompanying Kim were Korean People’s Army Marshal Pak Jong Chon and Munitions Industry Department Director Jo Chun Ryong, according to the North’s state media. While Kim was in Russia, Pyongyang fired two ballistic missiles on Wednesday, the South Korean military said, the latest in a string of sanctions-busting tests.Įxperts say Russia will likely use the talks to seek artillery shells and antitank missiles from North Korea, which wants advanced satellite and nuclear-powered submarine technology in return.
The two then toured assembly and launch facilities for the Angara and Soyuz-2 space rocket launchers before sitting down for talks with their delegations. The two leaders met at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia’s Far East, with footage released by the Kremlin showing the pair shaking hands enthusiastically as Kim arrived. Kim will later oversee a display of the potential of Russia’s Pacific fleet in Vladivostok, Putin announced. Their talks as well as discussions with delegations lasted around two hours before the leaders proceeded to the officials dinner in Kim’s honour. ‘An old friend is better than two new ones,’ Putin said, quoting a Russian proverb and referencing the Soviet Union’s role in the Korean War. ‘We will always be with Russia,’ Kim said, according to footage broadcast on Russian TV.

It's a slap in the face to read and watch people praise this as the "bar" for game development. The game is hard, as expected, but the thing that draws you into a story and immerses you into the gameplay is not there. I'm done with this review, there's so much more that was annoying and immersion breaking. You'd walk out of the theater and demand a refund. Just a bunch of actors wandering around aimlessly.
#ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS FILM MOVIE#
Imagine paying for what you're told is a movie only to discover there was no director. But then they don't tell you anything, you have wander around aimlessly to discover the "story". Now this one pissed me off, the marketing sold this as a story, "we got the mastermind behind game of thrones to write the story". Subtract another 2 points for story direction. Just trying to swap out a weapon or cast a spell breaks immersion because you have to do mental gymnastics with the buttons, on top of reacting to boss fight mechanics. I would describe it as the developers just kept adding things to press and got lazy with the ergonomics. Plan on performing a button combo as if you're playing street fighter. You want to switch to your bow, then back to your sword. Subtract another 2 points for the control scheme, OMG. Constant micro stutters where the camera is moving just a little bit in the opposite direction you are attempting to look. You are constantly fighting the camera, even with all the "assist" options disabled. If you were to say this is a 10, subtract 1 from the horrendous controls. If this is the direction developers are taking it's a sad future.
