- The Ukrainian forces fought against North Korea forces in the Russian Cursk region.
- Ukrainian leader BI described how he was in fighting.
- He said that the North Koreans will move forward, like something from the movie and they were “cannon feed”.
North Korean soldiers who fought in Russia lack a sufficient training for the war in which they were thrown and treated by the Russians as a “cannon feed”, a Ukrainian commander who has been fighting a battle against them in Business Insider.
Confall Ehur Ihurovich, commander of the reserve group at the fourth company of the thirty -third attack regiment, said the North Korean behavior in the battle was sometimes confusing and reminding us of the past wars.
About 11,000 soldiers from North Korea were deployed in the Russian West Cursk region in the past fall to help Moscow to repel enemy forces in Moscow and the restoration that Ukraine seized after it launched an amazing invasion there in August.
Ihorovych, the Call Sahara brand, joined an operation in early January to take Makhhnovka, a settlement in Kursk. The goal was to secure the main positions and wait for reinforcements.

How, at some point, his soldiers coincided with the North Korean forces who were incomprehensible and forth between the buildings while they were bombing artillery fire, about 500 meters from the Ukrainians.
Ihorovych said he was not sure that the North Koreans were running. He was speculated that they either do not know what to do or that there was no leader on the ground with them. Even Ukrainian soldiers in a neighboring unit were surprised by their strange behavior.
The war in Ukraine is a completely different type of conflict compared to what the North Korean forces trained, and it is suspected of only receiving limited training from the Russians.
Ihorovych recalls: “In fighting, they were only charged forward from the tree line, as in the Second World War movie.” The attacks during World War II were often a high victim. He said that his forces had killed a number of North Korean soldiers who saw him running from their positions.
Ihorovych said that its unit has completed its work without losses, adding that the North Koreans are “cannon feed”.
His description of the battlefield is in line with the evaluation of the Biden Administration, which said at the end of December that the North Koreans were using human wave tactics that were not very effective.

A White House spokesman said at the time that Russian military leaders and North Korean were looking at the forces as “consuming” and that they send them to “hopeless attacks” against Ukrainian defenses. Before its publication on Russia, the Pyongyang Army has not experienced major combat operations for decades.
The Pentagon and Ukraine Military Command described the North Koreans as disciplined, specialized and capable soldiers in the fighting, but they were renewed in the modern war and are not ready to face its challenges.
According to the new Western intelligence assessments, Pyongyang loses heavy losses – it is estimated that about 4000 soldiers have been killed or wounded in Russia. The British Ministry of Defense said last month that the high rate of losses in North Korea in such a short period of time negatively affects its ability to carry out combat operations in Kursk.
Conflict analysts at the Institute for War Research in mid -January warned that if this trend continues, Pyongyang might lose all the forces it had deployed in just weeks. North Korea forces, in particular, It was not seen on the front lines In weeks, the speculation that was withdrawn was withdrawn again amid severe losses.
Russia and North Korea have strengthened their defensive relations during the Ukraine war and signed an agreement during the summer, pledged to military assistance if one country was attacked. In addition to soldiers, Pyongyang also sent Moscow artillery shells and missiles.
