Maybe. Why not just send them a fucking submarine and do a few retrofits? Much easier to transport.
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.
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.
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.
