North Koreans are massacred for Russia, hurts combat missions: Intel

• North Korean forces are undergoing very high losses that fight for Russia against Ukraine.
• About 4,000 soldiers were killed or injured, said Western Intelligence.
• The high toll is harmful to Pyongyang combat operations.

The North Korean forces that fight for Russia are undergoing high losses, and this affects their combat operations, according to a new evaluation of Western intelligence.

In the fall, around 11,000 North Korean soldiers deployed in the Russian Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces had launched a daring invasion several months earlier. A few weeks after their arrival, officials said that the forces of Pyongyang were already undergoing significant losses.

The British Defense Ministry said on Friday that in mid-January, around 1,000 North Korean soldiers were killed and around 3,000 others injured in combat against Ukraine. It is more than a third of the number of troops deployed in Kursk.

The Ministry of Defense declared in a new intelligence update that the high North Korean losses of losses in a short time “has almost certainly considerably deteriorated the capacity of the RPDC forces to carry out offensive combat operations at the ‘Support of Russia’s attempts to push Ukrainian forces outside Kursk, “referring to the official name of North Korea, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

A spokesperson for the Pentagon said earlier this month that the losses of North Korea included a range of ranks, including certain senior officers.

Conflict analysts from the Institute for the Study of the War Reflection Group, who closely monitored the war, said last week that North Korea would lose all the troops it sent to Kursk in a few months if the rate of combat loss continued.

Despite the heavy losses that fight for Russia, the North Korean troops “only obtained tactical gains in Kursk,” said the United Kingdom. “Russia and the RPDC forces almost certainly have difficulties in interoperability. The two forces do not share a common language and the RPDC troops almost certainly have difficulties in integrating into the command and control structure of Russia. “

The North Korean forces had not experienced major combat operations before their deployment in Russia, which trained them to infantry tactics, flying drones, artillery and trenches’ protection operations. The White House said in December that Pyongyang troops were used in “human waves” attacks which were largely ineffective.

Major-General Pat Ryder, the former Pentagon spokesman, said the United States assessed that the North Korean forces were well-disciplined, competent and capable soldiers. Ukrainian soldiers also described them as highly qualified in combat among the claims according to which they were treated as consumables.

Ryder told journalists last week that “what we see on the battlefield is that they obviously have a threat,” he said that the Ukrainians were doing good work while holding their defensive lines But called “very difficult” fights.

Ukraine said earlier that she had captured two North Korean soldiers injured in Kursk. One of them thought he was sent to Russia for training, so as not to fight in a war, Kyiv said.

North Korea and Russia have considerably strengthened their defense ties during the Ukraine War. During the summer, the two countries signed a pact promising military assistance if we are attacked. Pyongyang also provided Moscow weapons such as missiles and artillery shells in addition to soldiers.
