このコンテンツについて
Kim Jong-un has spent the past several days doing what he does best on the world stage: blending hard military messaging with carefully curated dynastic theater. According to North Korean state media summarized by Anadolu Agency, he headlined a lavish event at Kalma Airport marking the air force anniversary, declaring that the service will receive “new strategic military assets” and a “new important duty” tied directly to the country’s nuclear war deterrent. Those remarks signal more than parade rhetoric: they point to an ongoing shift in his doctrine, elevating the air force from a supporting arm to a central pillar of his nuclear posture, a change that could define the next chapter of his rule.
At that same show, as reported by FlightGlobal and the South China Morning Post, Kim watched flypasts of aging MiG 29s and Su 25s while standing beneath aircraft that appeared to carry missiles resembling South Korea’s Taurus bunker buster. Analysts quoted by the South China Morning Post argue this spectacle doubled as a message to Moscow: North Korea is keen to trade its support for Russia in Ukraine for advanced Russian fighter jets, underlining Kim’s long game of weaponry for technology rather than simple cash.
But the real star of the week was his daughter. Multiple outlets including Geo TV and the South China Morning Post note that Kim Ju Ae, around 12 or 13, reemerged after a brief absence to take a front row role beside her father, in a black leather coat and sunglasses that mirrored his own, drawing salutes from air force pilots and a social media frenzy abroad. South Korean intelligence, cited by regional media earlier this season, has repeatedly flagged her as a potential heir, but analysts caution that the succession narrative is still partly speculative. What is clear and well documented is that Kim is now using her image as a living symbol of regime continuity whenever he rolls out major strategic messaging.
On the domestic front, NK News and regional outlets report that Kim has continued a campaign-style series of factory inspections tied to his regional industry plan, promising “eye-opening” changes as new plants near inauguration. Daily NK adds that in dealings over North Korean support to Russia in Ukraine, Kim is prioritizing weapons technology transfers over immediate economic gains, reinforcing the pattern seen in his air force speech: this is a leader betting his biography on long term military leverage, not short term relief.
Over in Seoul, coverage from the Associated Press and others highlights that South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has publicly lamented that Kim has “no interest in dialogue,” underscoring Kim’s current refusal to engage even as the South flirts with conciliatory gestures. That diplomatic freeze, paired with military upgrades and dynastic pageantry, will almost certainly loom large in how future historians write the late 2020s chapter of Kim Jong-un’s life.
