As part of his visit to Russia, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un preferred the difficult train journey instead of plane, although it sometimes took hours and sometimes days, and the features of this train, which draws attention with its green color, occupy the agenda. The "tradition of using trains instead of planes", which was started by North Korea's founding leader Kim Il-sung and his son and second president Kim Jong-il for some reasons, especially for security reasons, has also been used by the current leader Kim Jong-un from time to time. is preferred.
Kim Jong-un usually chooses the train for his international travels, although not as much as his grandfather and father.
Since it is a closed regime, information about North Korea and its leaders cannot go beyond intelligence-based information in open sources and a small number of news in the international press.
The Kim family's tradition of traveling by train dates back to an old gift received by Kim Il-sung.
Soviet Union leader Josef Stalin gifted Kim Il-sung a specially equipped wagon to use in his travels, and Kim Il-sung began to prefer the train in his travels from that date on.
Train travels have become a tradition for Kim Il-sung, who founded North Korea in 1948, and his son Kim Jong-il, and during their rule, the duo traveled abroad by train instead of plane.
Despite the distance of thousands of kilometers, Baba Kim also used trains during his visits to Vietnam and Eastern Europe while he was alive.
There is some information in the international press, albeit limited, about the features of the train used by Kim.
Accordingly, the luxury train used by grandson Kim consists of 21 wagons. All of these wagons have bulletproof armor. The train, which has features such as a living room, bedroom and satellite telephone connection, travels at a low speed of 50 to 80 kilometers per hour on average because it is armored. Kim's international travels can last for hours, sometimes days, due to the low speed of the train, which is frequently on the agenda in the world press with the photo of the pink seats inside.
According to a 2009 report by South Korea's Chosun newspaper, some security measures are taken when this train sets off. The North Korean leader's journey is accompanied by two more trains other than the train he is on. The first of these trains goes first to the area to be traveled and performs security checks on the road or in the area to be visited. The head of state is traveling on the second train. The third train coming from behind carries the protection and support teams.
