North Korea has the 4th largest army/military in the world. The Ukraine isn’t even close.

Oh, by bad. Ukraine had 4th largest and 3rd most capable military but it was some 20 years ago.
On the other hand Iraq had 4th largest military and what?
Just like Saddam, the Norks mostly armed with outdated stuff and their training is probably WWII style.
Wouldn’t be a problem for Russia and ROK.
BTW, I’ve seen polls and it seems like relations between Russia and South Korea are at all times high. South Koreans seems to have the most positive perception of Russia of most countries including Russian allies.
I think they are considering a free travel between countries without visas the ways Russians agreed with Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Israel and Turkey.
For Russians South Korea might be a valuable potential ally to contain Red China, for ROK Russia might be a source of cheap gas to make economy more competitive.
