Last week, President Vladimir Putin made an official state visit to the Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea (DPRK) – North Korea, his first for almost a quarter of a century. As part of that visit Putin and Kim Jong Un signed a so-called defense pact in the North Korean capital on June 19.
The military treaty states: “In the event that any one of the two sides is put in a state of war by an armed invasion from an individual state or several states, the other side shall provide military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay.”
In response to that Pyongyang announced early this week that it will be sending troops in the form of a military engineering unit to support Russian forces on the ground in the Donetsk region. The troops are expected to arrive on the battlefield as soon as next month.

neoCON scum have no shame at all
This will be an interesting dynamic.
NK troops haven’t seen actual warfare in 70 years, but they do a lot of drills and simulations.
Either they’re going to panic and run at the first sound of gunfire, or they’re going to completely annihilate Ukrainian/NATO forces.
Biden. “Don’t.”
Media. “ Biden ‘s still got his wits about him!”
The Norks have an underfed, under armed, and poorly trained army. 1 unit will not matter. Their only strength is thousands of artillery units within range of Seoul.
The Norks will collapse like a hipuse of cards in the face of modern weaponry.
I think its just Kim Jung Un up to his old provocative tricks, tweaking the West, trying to shock S. Korea, Japan and the USA.
Trump was able to talk to him man-to-man, gave him recognition, negotiated with him. Kim liked and needed the respect.
Since Jan 6, 2021, the deep-state bureaucrats and MIC drones are back in charge, so the pre 2017 status-quo is back on both sides.
A lot of them may defect.

Not advisors, engineering troops.
I would bet on the 2nd option.
Media. “ Biden ‘s still got his wits about him!”
My guess is the N. Korean masters want to get their troops some combat experience. They figure their troops will do well or get chopped up - either way it will be a valuable experiment for the army and, maybe, ingratiate themselves with the Russians.
“put in a state of war by an armed invasion “
Excuse me, if I missed the part where Russia was invaded by Ukraine.
Yep, about 70 years since the Russians and the North Koreans fought side by side against their common enemy.
“During the time that the “Honchos” (the nickname given by the Sabre pilots to excellent MiG pilots) were in Korea, between April 1951 and January 1952, they shot down or damaged beyond repair 142 UN aircraft against 68 losses, an overall 2:1 kill ratio. Their most successful month was October 1951, when the Soviet MiG-15s bagged 7 F-86s, 6 F-84Es, 2 RF-80As and one F-80C, one Meteor and 10 B-29As -24 victories- and suffered only 8 MiGs lost. During that period over 30 Soviet MiG-15 pilots became aces, among them the already mentioned Nikolai Sutyagin (21 kills); and also Yevgeni Pepelyayev (19), Lev Shchukin (17), Sergei Kramarenko (13), Mikhail Ponomaryev (11), Dmitri Samoylov (10), etc.
How could they do this, when all the American aces in that same period (Ralph Gibson, Dick Becker, etc) could only score 5-6 MiG kills? (except for the intrepid Major George A. Davis, who was credited with 14 kills) As a group, were the Russians 2-3 times better fighter pilots than their American opponents, as the claimed scores of 15 vs. 5 might imply?”
This looks like PR.
They won’t speak Russian. They will require their own food types. No value in them being there.
Nah, I would guess this means 20 guys will show up to build some small housing structures in Donetsk. Using tools and materials they are familiar with.
As everyone knows, it’s the unprovoked NATO attacks INSIDE Russia that constitutes the armed invasion. Use your mind and stop listening to the DC wsrmongers’ spin on their drive for WWIII.
Send in Sorks with a bullhorn offering top of the line kimchee.
70 years ago they knew how to run one play, which involved bayonets.
LOL
