North Korean leader Kim Jong-un arrived in Russia on September 12, 2023, in his dark green bulletproof train, as seen from video released by Russian officials. Kim has been travelling by train for every state visit since becoming leader in 2011. A former North Korean official explained why Pyongyang’s ruling Kim family is in favour of this slow transport system.

I never thought I’d see Kim in a white, baggy t-shirt inspecting a giant house plant in a kitch room with bright blue curtains. This looks like reality TV from an alternate dimension.

A bullet-proof and explosion- proof train fitted with anti-aircraft missiles and 2 sub-machine guns.
Now I want a train like that 😂

Kim Jong Un is the probably the only person who doesn't complain about traffic if he goes to New York and ride a taxi.

He must've wanted to enjoy the view. The scenery in a train trip from North Korea to Russia must be beautiful

[stevenpike]

He's paranoid. He feels like he's too vulnerable in a plane. After the general's plane dropped out of the sky, I don't blame him.

[Auspexable]

i mean look at prigozhin, he flew and look what happened to him. i was surprised he decided to fly after what was going for him.

[kenhaslam]

He travels by train because there isn’t a plane big enough to carry him 😂😂😂

[nyankanakitty]

It's funny how everything Kim does, people just have to praise him to not get on his bad side, and give a tons of excuses about his decision making process.

The Survival Rate Planes is 0
While Train has survival rate 50 percent

[___beyondhorizon]

A dictator who's scared of flying 😂

[yux.tn.]

i don't think he's afraid of flying as he use to study in Switzerland, so he had to fly there

or at least fear is less an issue

[igeorgoudi]

Or maybe Kim Jong -un is very careful of not having his plane taken down by anything. Taking down a train sounds more obvious, hence more difficult to cover.

[ReviveHF]

Prigozhin would like to travel by train if he had the chance.

[Zagaara]

Long story short, they're short on fund and that's the best transport mode they can afford.

[lifetransformed]

He was scared that a missile strikes take him down so he didn’t fly but took the train

[fajarkurniawan]

TLDR: couldn't afford the plane ticket

[Faiez-rhgm]

Every mainstream media is worried about what Kim is up to😂😂😂

[entertainmentjoke]

Summary: he worry killed in plane by saboteurs. 😂

[bhosool]

I thought the answer would be similar to why did the chicken crossed the road 😂.

[pratik_mohanty]

He is scared of planes..poor nepo kid😂😂😂😂
