Summary
North Korean troops sent to Russia to support its war in Ukraine remain sidelined due to poor training and logistical issues, according to Western officials.
These soldiers are expected to relieve Russian troops in secondary positions to free up forces for frontline battles in regions like Kursk, though they are unlikely to see combat in eastern Ukraine.
The war continues to take a massive toll, with over 700,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded since February 2022, while both sides face challenges replacing losses.
Russia’s reliance on poorly trained recruits and prison conscripts highlights its growing manpower issues.
They’re poorly trained by Russian standards? That’s impressively bad!
Came here to say that.
They discovered Porn when they got to Russia and have been chronically exhausted ever since…
Developed huge muscles in one arm
They’re busy gooning
Imagine the Russian commander’s surprise when he realized North Koreans don’t know anything about StarCraft!
I thought they had already been getting killed fighting in Ukraine? I haven’t followed the news too closely recently though so I’m probably wrong, just seen some headlines around the place.
IIRC the NK soldiers have been fighting (and dying) in the Ukrainian occupied parts of Russia, and haven’t been deployed to the Russian occupied parts of Ukraine yet.
I had thought so too. Apparently there have been a bunch of false reports on them being involved in fighting. Which makes sense, because their involvement in this conflict was entirely political theater to begin with - they were sent over to try and scare the western allies into backing down or else risk a wider global conflict. USA and others called their bluff and the NK soldiers have been sitting in Russia ever since. They can’t fight and they almost certainly don’t speak any Russian or have enough translators to be an effective assault force in a combat scenario.
Must be a fucking wird ride for these soldiers. First porn and now learning that you actually have been fucked by your own government by not even training you the way you are supposed to be trained.
Porn?
Yah, the rumor is that the north Koreans got ahold of cellphones with open web access for the first time in their life. So they immediately started watching all the porn and jacking themselves raw.
Never seen the internet in your life. 25 year old male. What’s the first thing you look for?
Supposedly, once they got across the border and got access to Russian smart phones, they quickly discovered porn. There were several reports (though TBF, they could have been propaganda), that the NK soldiers kept getting caught masturbating by the Russians they were working alongside, and some were incapacitated due to the fact that they had masturbation-related injuries. Like the NK soldiers just used every single opportunity to whip out their new phones and beat their meat until it was bloody.
I’m kinda glad I was on a 28.8k modem when I was a kid so we had to watch the naked girls come through line by line.
Saw crazy porn on VHS at 13 though and definitely beat it til it bled.
Never stopped him before
Well yeah, when they’re just cranking the hog and eating food for the first time, what did they expect?
It would be… something if the NK troops fucked up and killed a bunch of Russians with friendly fire. The Russians would slaughter them to a man in anger. And then… 🍿
Ass an example, in the photo, if I was the flash, I could kick each one in the balls. They didn’t think that march thru! Rule #1 protect your balls. No balls? I bet the crutch still hurts if you’re a woman or asexual. Yeah, bad move NK!
