North Korean Aviation Sub-Tree

Because a) what relation does South Korea have to China at all, and b) if both Koreas are added, you might as well do a United Korean tree

North Korea may have successfully developed copies of both the IRIS-T and PL-11, seen in 2021. Not yet seen mounted on aircraft as far as I know

Here’s to hoping DPRK’s airforce gets their hands on Su-30s and/or Su-35s.

Any guesses what the Unknown Bomber is?

Hopefully as part of the United Korean Tree.

I want to see it in the Chinese tree because then you can rather easily make it branch off of the Chinese tree past the J-6 and then just implement the planes before it as skins for the Chinese equivalents. For example, a regular line Yak-9P with a KPAAF skin, IL-10 with a KPAAF skin, La-9 with a KPAAF skin, MiG-15/J-2, MiG-17/J-4/J-5, MiG-19/J-6, etc.
I made a write up a while back (that I never finished) that does exactly that

Plus for this is that you can do it for aircraft that aren’t in the specific N. Korean line too, like the KPAAF A-5IIs or F-7Is

Take with a (heavy) grain of salt

+1 for sheer comedic value

XD so let’s upgrade our Soviet Era to Russian Federation. Aka worse. Not in weapons but complications.

Just make them skins of the existing vehicles, half of the proposed tree have identical models in the USSR and CHN trees, and there are already DPRK skins for some Soviet bombers in-game.

That is incorrect; there are still a lot of differences between a North Korean T-34 or IS-2 than the original.

Same applies for aircraft. It’s not a drastic change though. So your point still stands, nonetheless would be good for a United Korean TT

I got some nice news in regard to North Korea’s aviation. Some years ago North Korea displayed (mock-up) some new aerial weapons they working on like the AGP-250 as shown in my previous comment but also a new what seem to be Beyond Visual Range AAM.

Picture here of these aerial weapons :

BVR missile and Guided Bombs

Now i am happy to say that this particular BVR missile has undergone testing on the MiG-29 platform. The AGP-250 (rocket boosted assume) and the electro optic glide bomb next to it have also been displayed in front of the MiG-29 and and next to SU-25 platform and have been carried on the North Korea’s new MQ-1 clone.

Pictures here :

Of course there is little to no information but it’s really some nice and exciting news.

China needs at minimum a premium MiG-29. NK-owned one would be perfect for this and would be quite the decent upgrade up from the J-7 (I personally don’t like it and prefer high tier (12.3+) combat). +1 to the entire suggestion though.

If we get the ground tree than an air tree is a must to compliment it. +1 because I think it might get some attention because the memes.

What I did for Cuba is add as many armed trainer jets as possible. Trainer jets have not been featured in the game yet. Considering the dire situation of the country, it would not be unthinkable to see them fielding trainer jets for combat.

Besides, many Soviet trainers could be armed.
