The automotive industry in North Korea is a branch of the national economy, with much-lower production than that in South Korea. North Korean motor vehicle production is geared towards the Korean People’s Army, industrial and construction goals; there is little car ownership by private citizens. In addition to cars and trucks, North Korea produces buses, trolleybuses and trams.

朝鲜首次航空展9月24日在元山市葛麻机场举行。除了朝鲜人民军航空和防空部队带来的飞行特技表演，清纯靓丽的朝鲜妹子也是航展一大看点
在近些年的几次阅兵中，首先出场的朝鲜人民军军乐队都以其雄壮而不失优美的乐曲、和灵活丰富的队形变化在阅兵正式开始前将整场纪念活动的气氛成功烘托出来，使得整个纪念活动富有舞台剧一般的艺术感。而在今年阅兵中又增加了一组灵动的舞剑女兵在军乐队的军乐伴奏下翩翩起舞，十分吸引眼球。（作者署名：科罗廖夫）

Great Leader KIM
朝方于当地时间9月9日上午10点在平壤举行了国庆70周年阅兵仪式，仪式时长约两个小时，全球150多名记者受邀参加。在此次的阅兵中，朝鲜仅展示了短程导弹，洲际导弹未现身。

N.Korea Bought 1,000 Volvos from Sweden. The deal was closed 42 years ago, but North Korea didn’t pay a dime for any of the 1,000 Volvo 144 sedans. But before entering the fascinating story of an economic disaster, let’s talk a bit about the cars on hand.
The 1966-1974 140 Series is known as being the first Volvo to use a three digit in its nomenclature; it offered three different bodies – the 142 2-door sedan, the 144 4-door sedan, and the 145 5-door station wagon. Also, it’s the first Volvo to use disc brakes on all four wheels, and to teach us “boxy” equals “indestructible”. Now back to the story.
After the 1953 Korean Armistice, several neutral European countries saw in then-wealthy Democratic People’s Republic of Korea an important economic opportunity, and Sweden’s Volvo was one of the first industries to enter the North Korean market. It was a win-win deal: North Korea wanted to be known as a reliable, global force while Sweden planned to take profit from the Korean mining industry.
North Korean leader Kim Il-sung played a very convincing game in international economic bonding, boasting resources that looked nothing but impressive on paper – it’s a common thing with communists to have a high opinion of themselves, I guess.
But things went awry quite quick, one year after the 1,000-cars delivery (made in 1974). At the 1975 Swedish-Korean industrial trade fair, Sweden realised Mr. Il-sung isn’t planning on actually paying for the imports; and being a diplomatic trade, the way out is never easy.
North Korea had hoped it would pay its foreign debts in copper and zinc, but the calculations had been too optimistic. With excessively good-taste acquisitions – $5m in Rolex wristwatches, as another brief example – and nothing to support them, North Korea started a never-ending downslide.
In the meantime, Sweden recalculated, year after year, the bill for those 1,000 Volvos, an account that surpassed €300m. Many of those 144s are still on the road, kept in good condition, too and used as taxis in the capital Pyongyang.
