As of 2019, North Korea is estimated to have approximately 950 aircraft in their military, including approximately 150 fighter jets. The majority of North Korea’s fighter jets are Soviet-era aircraft, such as the MiG-19 and MiG-21. North Korea also has a small number of more modern fighter jets, such as the Sukhoi Su-25.<\/p>\n

North Korea currently operates a small number of fighter jets, the majority of which are aging Soviet-era MiG-19s and MiG-21s. The country also has a small number of more modern MiG-29s, which were acquired from Russia in the early 2000s. In addition, North Korea is believed to have developed its own indigenous fighter jet, the K-24, although very little is known about this aircraft.<\/p>\n

Does North Korea have a good air force? <\/h2>\n

The North Korean air force is one of the weakest in the world. It is so behind that it is “simply incomparable” to other countries, said North Korean studies scholar Ahn Chan-il. “It is no exaggeration to say that the North’s air force is an ‘air force on the ground’ that almost never gets any proper training.”<\/p>\n

How did it become so weak?<\/p>\n
