"We're preparing to surrender..." The true nature of the North Korean military, which even the Russian military recognized [Now News]

There is a common testimony among Russian and Ukrainian troops who have faced North Korean soldiers sent to Russia directly that North Korean soldiers are superior to Russian soldiers in combat.

Although it is a fragmentary and subjective view, it is noted as information that can evaluate the quality of North Korean troops put into practice.

According to Ukrainian media UAWire, senior Ukrainian military officer Petro Haidachuk appeared on the Ukrainian Internet broadcast "Espresso TV" and said that the Russian prisoners they captured were superior to the Russian mercenaries in their combat readiness.It is

high.Chuk explained that while their unit has not yet captured North Korean soldiers, the captured Russian prisoners have been trained with the North Korean military.

"Interestingly, Russian prisoners reported that the equipment, weapons, and training of North Korean soldiers were much better than those of Russian contractors," he said. "According to Russian prisoners, North Korean soldiers monopolized the charge operation mission and Russian soldiers were in charge of securing the area after the successful charge."It is

high.Chuk added that according to Russian prisoners, the North Korean military uses separate training bases with Russian troops, and there is not much exchange between them.

Even among Ukrainian troops who captured North Korean wounded soldiers directly, the assessment that the quality of North Korean soldiers sent to Russia is generally superior to that of Russian soldiers.

Bernard, a member of Ukraine's special forces, said the North Korean soldiers he met on the battlefield were "very committed to their beliefs and were faithful to the discipline, to what they were told and to their duties," adding that they were younger, more resilient and more motivated than the Russian military.

"I don't think a typical Russian infantryman would behave like a North Korean soldier," said another Ukrainian unit member, Borsuk, "and the Russians are ready to surrender in droves, but the North Korean soldiers are not."

"Compared to Russian soldiers, they are much better prepared physically and mentally," he said. "They are prepared for where they go and what they will do."

About 11,000 North Korean troops are currently deployed in the Ukrainian-occupied Russian state of Kursk.

Ukrainian and Western military intelligence authorities believe that these North Korean troops are being driven as "bullets" instead of Russian troops in Russia's territorial retake campaign, which takes the form of infantry advancements.

It is estimated that more than 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or injured since their participation in the war, as they have been helplessly exposed to shelling and drone attacks due to advancing troops on flat land.

Security experts observe that North Korean troops, who have not been in combat since the Korean War, may participate in the war in Ukraine and fill their lack of practical experience.
