North Korean troops who helped Russia repel a major Ukrainian incursion into its western Kursk region are now playing an important role in clearing the area of mines, the Russian Defence Ministry said on Friday.
Under a mutual defence pact between the two countries, North Korea last year sent some 14,000 soldiers to fight alongside Russia in Kursk, and more than 6,000 were killed, according to South Korean, Ukrainian and Western sources.
Video published by the Russian Defence Ministry showed North Korean troops being shown different types of mines and mine detection equipment, taking part in training exercises and singing patriotic songs.
"They're great lads, they learn quickly, listen attentively and take notes," said a Russian commander with the call sign "Veles".
A second commander, "Lesnik", said: "They are on an equal level with my sappers, carrying out the same tasks as my lads."

Hey, it’s a job. Better than starving to death.
They are pros. They played minesweeper on Windows 98 for over 27 years.
Form a line, lock arms and start walking.
“Everybody, just all walk, side-by-side, that way!”
North Korea is getting the experience they need to eventually conquer South Korea. Time is on their side.
Fingers in ears and stamp the ground method ?
Class on mine sweeping: lead with whichever foot you choose and stomp down hard on each step. Results: Russians think you are doing a great job!
Apparently the latest Western propaganda guide says to just add a 0 to multiply enemy casualties 10X. I say this because when the Norks had a ceremony to honor their dead from the Kursk theater, someone counted about 600 individual memorials in photographs of the ceremony. It's one of those odd data points that crops from time in the fog of war to give analysts something better to go on than pro or con propaganda.
The instructors at my CBT training after basic demonstrated that as a technique not to use. That was 46 years ago and it’s still humorous to me.
More dead Norks, please.
The sheeple will believe whatever they hear on CNN.
I was expecting Babylon Bee.
