Summary
North Korean troops sent to Russia to support its war in Ukraine remain sidelined due to poor training and logistical issues, according to Western officials.
These soldiers are expected to relieve Russian troops in secondary positions to free up forces for frontline battles in regions like Kursk, though they are unlikely to see combat in eastern Ukraine.
The war continues to take a massive toll, with over 700,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded since February 2022, while both sides face challenges replacing losses.
Russia’s reliance on poorly trained recruits and prison conscripts highlights its growing manpower issues.
I want to see how the south Korean army would do against the north in a scenario where outside interference is not Allowed and nukes are banned
Melee!!!
Imagine how motivated they are to defend a country where nobody wants to live, high suicide rates, nobody wants to have kids, and elderly prostitution is so common. So much to fight for!
While I think that the south korean army would be superior in every way, it‘s also safe to assume that Kim send the most expendable soldiers of his army to russia.
