People from all nations die about the same.
They will all be carrying MREs made of freeze dried pasture grass with soy sauce. 😏
Bet they all gain weight if they are sent.
Good chance for NORK troops to get a bit of actual combat training.
I don’t see this as a good thing for anyone.
Probably the only way Rocket Boy can earn the country money!
Selling your subjects out as mercenaries is a historical tradition. The petty German kingdoms- Hesse, etc, the Swiss though I don’t think a central authority ordered it, many other examples.
My dad fought the Norks.
He said they are highly skilled and tough as nails. And that anyone who underestimates them might find themselves dead.
That wonderful Christian Putin.
Russia has plenty of food so the North Korean troops will probably eat better in the Ukraine than at any point in their lives.
NORK troops in general have the physicality of a 12-14 year old South Korean. All due to diet or to be accurate the lack one.
It doesn’t care about its people. It only cares that it gets paid.
You do realize that that is exactly what the U.S. does, right?
The ROKS are just as tough as told to me by those serving in SV along side of them.
From the article: “TV Chosun claimed, citing an anonymous South Korean official, that North Korea would ‘deploy a large-scale engineering force to occupied Donetsk Oblast as early as July 2024 to assist in rebuilding infrastructure in the occupied city of Donetsk,’ according to a translation by Ukrainska Pravda.”
An ANONYMOUS South Korean source quoting UKE media?
Garbage.
Consider the sources.
Fixed it.
Kim Jong Un does nothing China doesn't tell him to do.
They could be problem. They are so small they are hard to spot in the field.
They will probably get better chow than a little rat meat & rice
Is Russia so bad off they need to get troops from North Korea?
half starved troops for cannon fodder
