Summary
North Korean troops in Russia’s Kursk region have been withdrawn from the front lines after suffering heavy losses, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
Estimates suggest 4,000 of the 11,000 deployed soldiers have been killed, wounded, or gone missing.
Despite being elite forces, they were used as foot soldiers, making them vulnerable.
Russia expects reinforcements from North Korea within two months.
Pyongyang has also supplied Russia with weapons, reportedly in exchange for military and diplomatic support from Moscow.
We laugh, but North Korea is getting itself combat experienced soldiers.
The only thing they’re getting is PTSD and shrapnel.
Unless you consider shooting at russian troops combat experience, then they’re getting a lot.
What evidence do you have that they’re rotating experienced troops back to NK?
Everything I’ve seen suggests most are KIA.
They now know driving scooters to the front line is a bad idea.
