North Korea held a military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korean War armistice. Pyongyang also issued a propaganda video for its air force. In the “Top Gun”-style video, North Korean pilots can be seen playing with toy planes. Meanwhile, drones, undersea assault vessels, and nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles were on show at Pyongyang’s military parade. The parade was attended by Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and a Chinese delegation.
