A deal of the dictators, an arrangement between autocrats: North Korea sent 1 million rounds of artillery to Russia, in exchange for help on Kim Jong Un’s space program, says South Korean intel.

Honestly, if the source had been any of the parties I'd assumed they would be lying and really it was about helping the DPRK with its ballistic missiles.
But if the South Koreans are saying it is for a "space program", that sure sounds like Russia is trading civilian expertise in exchange for military goods... I guess Kim feels the DPRK is strong enough to part with some significant military resources?
@tobychev it's spy satellites
