Ukrainian forces claim 'significant' casualties among North Koreans in Kursk
Summary
Ukraine reports at least 30 North Korean soldiers were killed or injured in battles in Russia’s Kursk region, with reinforcements from the DPRK’s 94th brigade arriving to cover losses.
Pyongyang has allegedly sent up to 12,000 troops to support Russia, alongside supplying munitions and missiles.
President Zelenskyy confirmed North Korean involvement and cautioned their potential expansion to other frontlines.
This development underscores strengthening Russia-North Korea ties, intensifying the conflict as Ukraine battles to maintain control of contested regions.
These are "the best" NK troops, but still have never seen combat.
If kept on their own they may be effective. But they're spread out with Russian cannon fodder divisions, so they literally don't speak the same language as their commanders.
I highly doubt Kim has sent what he considers to be the "best"
They have...
But these are NK troops, none of them have seen combat before.
"The best" means they're the only ones who had enough calories to be relatively healthy.
Same with the border guards, and I think the last one to escape to the south had like a six foot tapeworm and a host of other old school parasites and diseases.
Trench warfare is tough on a healthy person, and not many North Koreans are healthy.
Knowing Putin he talked up how important these troops are, and pissed Kim off by using them as cannon fodder. Kim could have sent his absolute worst and had the same result.
I know doughnuts are the best according to Kimmy.
