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North Korean troops in Russia’s Kursk region have been withdrawn from the front lines after suffering heavy losses, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.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.
What evidence do you have that they’re rotating experienced troops back to NK?
Everything I’ve seen suggests most are KIA.
Neither you nor I have any idea what the accurate casualty rates and combat stats for NK are. But any army that heads to war comes back with some experience in waging war.
Again, do you have evidence that any NK soldiers are coming back?
What a pointless question. They haven’t even been in the war long enough that a tour of duty would end so I wouldn’t expect them to be returning yet. But that doesn’t mean nobody will ever return.
I asked for evidence, you gave more vibes. I’m still asking for evidence.
They now know driving scooters to the front line is a bad idea.
