Ukraine is claiming that North Korea is preparing to send tens of thousands more troops to Russia, where they'll gain valuable battlefield experience.

      Come for the promise of food, stay because you’ve been killed by a drone you didn’t even see.

      The sent 10,000 originally. 6,000 of them were casualties.

      3,000 of the survivors were sent back as trainers.

      The remaining 1,000 survivors and a fresh wave of 10,000 were sent to the front to bring the total to around 11,000 this spring.

      N. Korea has a military of around 1.3 million active plus another 6 million in different reserves. They need tens of thousands of experienced trainers to modernize their military.

      If you don’t give a fuck about the losses, this is a brutally efficient manner in going about it.

      Funny, I remember similar talk right before the Koreans retook Kursk in 5 months - and by all accounts, adapted to the battlefield extremely quickly and were formidable warriors.
