The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the f**king Chinese.”
What to do with them? Help them escape.
If there’s one thing russians ain’t, it’s racially sensitive.
That’s not all they’re saying.
Well, if a shit force thinks another force is shit, I guess the rest of us have a little less to worry about. At this point, desperation is the only big concern.

I doubt the Russians speak Korean or the Koreans speak Russian. No idea if they know how to use each other’s hardware. Very difficult to coordinate units with that kind of gap.
If Russian commanders take this as license to use Korean soldiers as cannon fodder, I imagine that will degrade the relationship between the two countries rapidly.
You never need to use the word “if” when talking about Russian commanders and cannon fodder.
Just “where” and “when”.
Also “how many million?”
I’m not seeing anything in the article about their competence being criticized. Seems like plain ol’ racism to me.
Not to say the NK troops really are more competent. Their training is likely essentially the same as it was in the 50s.
Why do you suppose the training would be out of date? We hear often enough of North Korean cyber attacks so we know that they’re keeping up with at least some technologies. Do you really suppose that they don’t study other countries military exercises, battles and training material? That they don’t play computer war games?
