Russian President Vladimir Putin has presented a car to his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong Un, North Korean state media said Tuesday, in another sign of warming ties between the two countries that have raised concerns in the United States.
To be fair, the Aurus is effectively a European luxury car. Made in Russia, but all of the tech was developed by German firms (Porsche and Bosch - I suspect the Russian portion of the engineering was nominal at best) and it is modern in terms of specs and equipment, if ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
That car is gonna be crawling with bugs so deep and hard to find it’s better to toss it off the back of a ship
What secrets is North Korea going to have that would be of used to russia? It would be like conducting industrial espionage against the vape store.
That’s something we should’ve been doing all along! Now there’s a mist opportunity…

Would be kind of funny though seeing him stuffing his butt into a Lada.

Best way to deal with that is to use the car for trivial things. Have a family member with no state secrets use it to pick up coffee etc.
I wonder what the equivalent is among the North Korean elite. Cognacs, dolphin meat, and a new accordion?
And a 3 m satellite antenna to transmit data back to Russia?
The entire roof is a fractal antenna. Hooks up to star link. The best Russian tech!
