When the first nation does it, it's difficult, by the time that the ninth does it, it's considerably easier. The amount of information available in both open source and secret files is much greater, which means there is a higher chance of obtaining it.
When you consider that your very survival is on the line, you'd be surprised what a nation can do.

I look back to the beginnings of WWII. At first the U.S. was supplying the U.K., but then the Axis powers became too powerful.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Admiral Yamamoto, who had spent a good amount of time in the U.S., said that japan had awakened a sleeping giant. Seven months later the U.S. was striking at Japan's heartland, then severely crippled their navy only two months later.
Their was such pride and loyalty, though. The American nation was much more cohesive then.
Back to the original point; I wonder what Syria, Iran and some other States have given to assist the North Koreans.
Would China, particularly in the past, given NK some technology so as to keep a physical buffer between them and the highly capitalist South Koreans?
