North Korea’s Foreign Military Aid strategy has historical roots, and is perfectly normal for that country. During the Vietnam War, North Korea sent a Fighter Squadron to support its Communist ally North Vietnam; during the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, North Korea sent Pilots to fly Egyptian fighters; during the Iran-Iraq War, North Korea sent Military Instructors to support Iranian troops. Along with Cuba, North Korea supported the People’s Liberation Army of Angola against the Apartheid Regime of South Africa; North Korea has also provided military aid to other African countries, including Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
