North Korean Boots on the Ground: Fact or Fiction? You Decide.
War. It’s not a game. It’s not a movie. It’s twisted metal, shattered lives, and the stench of fear. Weβve seen whispers and rumors about North Korean troops showing up in Ukraine, bolstering Putin’s ranks. Now, raw footage is surfacing, claiming to show these soldiers in action, and raising a whole lot of questions. Are these videos real? Propaganda? Something else entirely? Thatβs what we’re here to figure out. We’ll dissect the clips, examine the sources, and offer some hard-earned insights from a guy who’s been there, done that, and seen too much. I’ve fought in the deserts and mountains, seen the faces of fear and the aftermath of violence. This ain’t my first rodeo, and it smells like something’s brewing in Eastern Europe. This isn’t some geopolitical chess game. These are human lives on the line, caught in the gears of war. Let’s cut through the bull and get to the truth.
Key Insights from the Frontlines
North Korean Presence Confirmed? Videos purport to show North Korean troops training in Russia, allegedly headed for the Ukrainian front. One video claims to show a dead North Korean soldier just kilometers from the Selidovo frontlines. Other reports indicate DPRK soldiers integrated into Russian formations near Kursk. We need to verify these sources. Weβve been lied to before.
Cannon Fodder? Analysis suggests North Koreans may be used as low-skilled labor, transporting supplies to the front or even as expendable shock troops, meant to absorb Ukrainian fire and reveal defensive positions. Reminds me of some of the things we saw in Iraq. Just throw bodies at the problem. Sickening.
SpecOps and Drone Warfare: Raw footage demonstrates the critical role of Ukrainian Special Forces (SpecOps) and drone technology. From ambushes in Russian territory to precise thermite strikes on artillery positions, these tactics show a desperate fight for survival. This is modern warfare. Brutal and effective.

The New Face of War: North Korea’s Gamble?
If North Korean troops are truly deploying to Ukraine, itβs a game-changer. It adds a new layer of complexity to an already volatile situation. What are Kim Jong-un’s motivations? Is this a strategic alliance with Russia, a desperate bid for cash, or something else entirely? We also have to ask: what is the quality of these North Korean troops? Are they experienced fighters or, as some sources suggest, poorly-trained conscripts thrown into the meat grinder? This is a question that needs answering, and the answer could have serious ramifications on the battlefield.
The Fight Goes On
The war in Ukraine is far from over. The fog of war is thick, and truth is often the first casualty. But the raw footage emerging offers a glimpse into the brutal reality on the ground β the courage of Ukrainian soldiers, the desperation of Russian tactics, and the potential for a new, dangerous player to enter the fray. Scroll down, watch the footage, and decide for yourself. This isnβt a spectator sport. This is the reality of war in the 21st century.

26 Nov: LEAKED FOOTAGE: North Koreans OPERATE IN KURSKβS FORESTS | War in Ukraine ExplainedReporting from Ukraine495,496 views | 24,782 | November 26 2024 19:00:00 (587 comments)[ Read more … ]

Today, the biggest updates come from the Kursk direction.
Here, after a series of disastrous defeats, Russian forces decided to change their tactics and tried a new assault on the main Ukrainian stronghold. But even more importantly, new footage revealed how North Korean soldiers are undergoing active integration into Russian formations and getting ready for large-scale combat operations in the region.
The main Russian goal continues to be to cut off Ukrainian forces in the northern part of the salient with a pincer maneuver toward Malaya Loknya. But after a disastrous failed assault through the settlements left many Russian soldiers encircled, and false reports only worsened the situation, Russians were forced to change their tactics.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Malaya Loknya sits on a hill chain with a hardened road running along it. In a change of tactics, instead of advancing through the settlements in the lowlands, Russians are now trying to advance over the hill chain to reach their goal of capturing Malaya Loknya. Besides being able to attack Ukrainian positions from the same height, by taking up positions in the tree line along the road, Russians would simultaneously gain fire control over the settlements in the lowlands.
Russians launched several waves of assaults along this road, while Ukrainians had set up to repulse them most effectively. Geolocated footage shows how Russian vehicles sped down the road but continuously blew up on Ukrainian anti-tank mines. The footage also shows how Russians did not use purely mechanized forces in their assaults, but unarmored trucks filled with infantry. This indicates that Russians had not yet fixed their communication issues, and expected the road to be already secured by previous assaults. After Ukrainian artillery had opened fire, shrapnel tore through the unarmored personnel carriers, as the soldiers and trucks scattered in all directions to get out of the Ukrainian kill zone as fast as possible.
Even though Ukrainian drones were able to hunt down many of the remaining Russian soldiers, Ukrainians could not prevent small groups of them from making it to dugouts and trenches in the surrounding trees. This is a typical Russian tactic, where Russian infantry scatters in all directions to take shelter, establishing new positions to inch the frontline forward, even after a failed assault. Ukrainians understood this and sent in special forces groups to finish off the remaining soldiers or take them captive. As the Russian soldiers often do not have the supplies or training necessary to fight off the well-trained and battle-hardened Special Forces operators successfully, many Russians simply surrender shortly after being taken under fire.
Interestingly, one captured Russian soldier revealed that there was a North Korean military encampment in the region, just 25 kilometers or 15 and a half miles from Ukrainian lines. He also added that that they were instructed not to disclose any information on North Korean fighters, and to only mention Buryats, which are an Asian-Mongolian ethnic group within eastern Russian territories, to hide North Korean involvement as much as possible. Later, another Russian soldier leaked a video showing how they were teaching North Korean soldiers Russian phrases. This indicates that North Koreans are preparing to engage in active frontline combat operations soon, and are trying to ensure that they will be able to work together when conducting assaults in the future.
Overall, Russian forces try to inch themselves forward with every attack, as even after a failed assault, Ukrainians cannot prevent some Russian soldiers from taking up new positions. Ukrainians maintain an active defense by clearing the exhausted Russian soldiers, while gaining valuable intel on Russian and North Korean operations. Russians are losing more and more of their better-trained soldiers with every failed assault, and likely do not have enough of them in reserve to accomplish their goals on their own. Likely, the North Korean soldiers will be sent forward as a first wave of assault, to deplete Ukrainian supplies, expose firing positions, and trigger hidden land mines and ambushes. The idea being that after this, Russian troops can come in to clean up the remaining Ukrainian positions, a Russian cannon fodder tactic that was widely applied to Russian convict recruits, leading to countless losses of troops.

First video of killed North Korean soldiers at frontline: Ukrainian army shows footage from SelidovoKanal131,316,506 views | 13,354 | November 12 2024 00:00:06 (1,371 comments)[ Read more … ]

The Telegram channel “Gostri Kartuzi” published a video showing the liquidation of a North Korean soldier in the near rear zone of Russian troops at a distance of about 5 kilometers from the front near Selidovo. Experts, having analyzed the face of the deceased in detail, determined that he was a representative of Korean nationality. Military expert Alexander Kovalenko explained that the physiognomic features of North Koreans, formed against the background of chronic malnutrition and vitamin deficiency, indicate that the liquidated fighter came from North Korea.
The video also shows that the deceased was carrying a large load , the volume of which is comparable to his build. This suggests that the Russians may be using North Koreans as labor to transport ammunition and provisions to the front lines. As Kovalenko notes, such a practice is common among Russian troops, since the use of equipment in the frontline zone is difficult due to the systematic destruction of vehicles by Ukrainian drones. Thus, the delivery of goods is carried out by foot porters who carry supplies on their backs.
The expert added that the use of North Koreans as labor in the war zone raises questions and suggested waiting for official confirmation before drawing final conclusions. Putinβs forces are believed to be losing hundreds of troops a day, with Ukrainian estimates going as high as 1,200 to 1,500, so the more than 10,000 troops South Korea believes are in Russia. βIn the big picture, even 12,000 soldiers donβt affect the general situation of the war significantly,β says Emil Kastehelmi, who runs the Black Bird Group, which tracks the war in Ukraine.
The troops are already under fire, being shelled in the Russian border region of Kursk, according to Kyiv. That is the area where Ukrainian troops have held territory, having started a daring raid in August.
Questions have been raised about the calibre of the North Korean troops, not least because none of the group, which includes 500 officers and three generals, have any combat experience. North Koreaβs isolation on the international stage means that its troops, which number more than a million, have faced nothing but training.
βNone would think they are going to Russia to die,β Choi Jung Hoon, a former first lieutenant in North Koreaβs army, told the Associated Press. βBut I think theyβre cannon fodder because they will be sent to the most dangerous sites and will surely be killed.β
