On Monday, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a new video clip of the training of North Korean forces with modern modern weapons used in the Ukraine war.
The 77 -second -length montage, published by the government media, showed soldiers who dig fire movements, shooting from the cover, disinfection of trenches, and teaching them how to use hand bombs for Russian standard service.
Some forces can be monitored with AK-12, a fifth-generation offensive rifle that entered service in Russia around 2020.
In the homeland, it is known that the North Korean forces are primarily training and fighting with type -88, a local version of the AK -74 rifle in the Soviet era.
In addition, the clips feature the training of soldiers with a SVD Sniper rifle, also known as “Dragunov”, and the PK machine gun that the belt is nourished.
Another clip showed a soldier dealing with the RPG-7, a bomber that is known by the missiles that Russia uses in service now. He shoots a highly separated anti -tank round.
It is worth noting that all these small weapons fall under the list of weapons and equipment that Military Intelligence in Ukraine said that Russia provides North Korean forces in November 2024.
The shots also showed a soldier firing in the air with an automatic 12-robor gun known as the VEPR-12, which can be seen equipped with an extended suffocation. This facility is usually used as a muzzle to convert the gun into an anti -baron weapon because it reduces the spread of granules and extends the gun.
It is known that both Ukrainian and Russian forces rely on rifles to land the drones close to a distance. Tass wrote that the North Korean forces were training with the 12 -scale guns for this purpose.
Government media also wrote that the soldiers in the clip were part of the North Korean power in Kursk, where Pyongyang sent thousands of forces to strengthen Russia. Business Insider independently could independently verify the validity of this claim.
The Alliance of Russia and North Korea raises fears from the West
The new clip comes after Russia and North Korea publicly recognized at the end of last week that North Korea’s forces were fighting against Ukrainian forces, after months of silence in the matter despite the increasing evidence of Pyongyang’s involvement.
Their partnership in West and South Korea, who are afraid that the North Korean forces will gain vital combat experience and learn to fight with and against modern weapons and aircraft.
Many of these soldiers have been sent on the attacks on the ground pedestrians that often lead to death or severe injury. This tactic has become a distinctive feature of Russia’s strategy to exhaust Ukraine resources. Initial reports from the front lines described Pyongyang’s forces as unprecedented, without knowing how to deal with the drone hormone and take heavy losses.

But there are signs of its adaptation, such as the drawing that Ukraine said was obtained from a North Korean fighter who was arrested explaining how to stab a drone using a colleague soldier. North Korea forces are likely to get their first chance to monitor Ukraine’s use of advanced weapons such as HIMARS and ABRAMS TANK.
In the battlefield, they proved more stubborn than their Russian counterparts, accusing them of attacks on the anterior “human wave” and progress without supporting shields. The Ukrainian forces said that they fought to arrest the North Koreans because the latter would often try to kill themselves instead of surrender.
A US State Department spokesman in the media said earlier this week that Washington was still concerned about the deployment of Pyongyang forces, saying that the third countries like North Korea “destroy the war of Russia and the volcanic” and take responsibility.
