Summary

About 8,000 North Korean troops are in Russia’s Kursk region, ready to join the war with weaponry provided by Moscow, including AK-12 rifles, RPG-7s, and night vision equipment. These troops have been trained by Russian forces in artillery and infantry tactics.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for Western allies to allow long-range strikes, proposing Ukraine could preemptively target the North Korean forces if equipped with necessary weaponry.

    Thats unrealistic given that across the entire front in a day orcs loose 1500 - 1600 daily. So for “best Koreans” to loose so many you’d need some epic level of incompetence, even above orcs… Not saying it can’t happen but unless they do a parade within the range of himars… It’s unlikely that their losses would be that drastic

      Sorry is the absolute number is slightly off. I thought the round number made it clear that it was not supposed to be a precise estimate but a general “this is how irrelevant they are compared to normal loses”.
