North Korean Troops Engage Ukrainians in Battle in Russia's Kursk: Reports
Newsweek ^ | December 13th, 2024 | By Maya Mehrara

North Korean troops have seized their first village from Ukrainian soldiers in Russia's Kursk region, according to reports.

Between December 6 and 7, North Korean soldiers captured the village of Plekhovo, which had a prewar population of 627. More than 300 Ukrainian soldiers were reportedly killed in the attack.

"Plekhovo was taken exclusively by special operations forces of North Korea. In two hours, they passed through like a hurricane, did not take prisoners. The enemy lost more than 300 servicemen," the Telegram channel "Romanov Light" reported.

"Now two brigades are trying to share the laurels - who was the first to enter the settlement liberated by Korean specialists." Newsweek has been unable to independently verify the reports.

Yuri Kotenok, a Russian military blogger, also reported on Telegram: "Plekhovo, liberated on December 6 in the Kursk direction, was indeed taken by fighters of the Korean special forces. They walked two kilometers through a minefield, broke into the village with lightning speed and destroyed the occupation contingent of the Ukrovermacht.

"The operation took about 2.5 hours. They took their '200' and '300' with them. According to some information, there were no prisoners. They will not take them in the future either."

My dad fought the Norklandians in 1949.

He said they were disciplined, skilled and tough as nails.

More Fantasy Friday are the North Koreans flying any drones over Kursk or are they flying them over New Jersey?

I lose track the stories keep changing.

Weeks ago I read the Norks in Russia were consuming copious amounts of porn.

All the resulting sex with self would reduce their fighting capability significantly IMHO.

Nonsense. Ridiculous propaganda flows from both sides in this war.

Did anyone see the youtube videos of tiny Ukrainian drones chasing down and blowing up bits of North Koreans ? I think the North Koreans were on motor bikes or some kind

Are there any Nork bodies? Prisoners? Videos? Communication interceptions?

According to MSM, they’ve been fighting for three months already…

North Korean brigade commanders Santa and The Easter Bunny were pleased by the performance of their men and women.

Those Koreans in Kursk sound like supermen.

The Ukrainians need to get their own Koreans from S.Korea. Then we could see the Russian super-Koreans fighting the Ukrainian super-Koreans. Proxy vs proxy. No Russians killed; no Ukrainians killed.

They would charge machine gun positions until the machine guns melted.

The Russians admit they are fighting for them. But it probably takes them a long time to get from point A to point B when they are constantly having to stop and peel bark from the trees to eat, or else risk them coming down with terrible diarrhea from unaccustomed fatty Russian provisions.

As far a I know, everyone knows the North Korean troops are in Kursk, except the Ukraine troops in Kursk.

.

{snip}

"And despite weeks of reports suggesting that as many as 10,000 North Korean troops have been sent to Kursk to join the Russian counter-offensive, the soldiers we’ve been in contact have yet to encounter them."

“I haven’t seen or heard anything about Koreans, alive or dead,” Vadym responded when we asked about the reports.

The Ukrainian military has released recordings which it says are intercepts of North Korean radio communications.

Soldiers said they had been told to capture at least one North Korean prisoner, preferably with documents.

They spoke of rewards - drones or extra leave - being offered to anyone who successfully captures a North Korean soldier.

It’s very difficult to find a Korean in the dark Kursk forest,” Pavlo noted sarcastically. “Especially if he’s not here.”

Don’t be fooled by western MSM which is still controlled by senile Joe and his intelligence community.

Let’s hope President Trump can put a stop to our out of control lefty agencies and make them believable again. Trust nothing, absolutely nothing our current administration has to say.

Agree! Has anyone seen a NK soldier in the war zone? Several times I searched internet sites over there and found none.

They came at you in waves of troops with shiny bayonets. I was in the field artillery (a 105 battalion) there in 52-53. During the Chinese/NK attacks our tubes would be red hot.
