The reactor parts according the article were VM-4SG models. The same used by russian nuclear submarines. Dont take a genius to assume NK is planning on building nuclear submarines to load’em with nuclear missiles.
Because a submarine is much more expensive than reactor parts? I dont think NK has 800million dollars to give russia. Plus, NK would love nothing more than boast about their own nuclear submarine.
Submarines are sealed units. You can’t really retrofit them. If it doesn’t fit through a hatch, you have to cut the hull, which can create a weakness when it’s under pressure.

Oh and the other fact they already annouced just that.
Maybe. Why not just send them a fucking submarine and do a few retrofits? Much easier to transport.

Can afford new but not cold war hand-me-downs?
Does russia have spare surplus? Pretty sure they scrapped everything thats not in active duty.
