The tactics of DPRK soldiers in combat are reminiscent of World War II
The Ukrainian military said that in the battle, DPRK soldiers attacked them in a style similar to scenes from World War II movies.
North Korean soldiers who came to fight on Russia’s side were not properly trained for combat.
Their actions on the battlefield often looked chaotic and reminiscent of the combat tactics of past wars.
Last fall, about 11,000 troops from North Korea were sent to Russia’s Kursk region.
They were to support Russian forces in their efforts to regain territory lost after the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
During the battles, Ukrainian soldiers noticed how North Korean soldiers began to run around in disarray.
They simply rushed forward, like in a World War II movie. Ukrainian soldiers were surprised by such enemy behavior.
The DPRK military lacks commands and tactics, or they did not know how to act in this situation.
North Korean mercenaries became easy targets for Ukrainian combat drone operators.
It is reported that more than a thousand North Korean soldiers were eliminated in Russia by mid-January 2025. About 3,000 thousand were wounded.
They have recently been withdrawn from combat areas due to numerous losses.
On the eve of the Ukrainian command published a video as the military captured the first North Korean soldier.
