- North Korean workers were treated as slaves at a drone factory in Russia, according to a new report.
- Pyongyang sends workers to the Russian drone factory, and the report concerns whether they could pass on hands-on knowledge of advanced weapons systems.
Why it matters: At one drone factory in Russia, the report puts two stakes in view: North Korean workers are described as slaves, and Pyongyang is a potential recipient of hands-on knowledge of advanced weapons systems through those workers. The labor arrangement carries both a worker-treatment issue and a technology-transfer concern.
