"We were warned": the Russian Federation and the DPRK will soon begin joint storms near Kursk - NYT
The Russians are likely to apply the usual tactics of fighting when small assault groups will throw trenches of Ukrainians. The New York Times told about the new attempts of the Kremlin. The publication reported that it received information about the future offensive of the Russian Federation and DPRK from the commander of 61 brigade, Colonel Artem Kholodkevich. He stated that he received an SMS message from a command of assault in Kursk region, which would begin in the coming days.
Analysts explained the NYT what the participation of Pyongyang fighters could be and how they would affect the fighting. "We were warned of the attack in the near future. Probably in the coming days," the journalists of the Colonel's words. The article drew attention to two possible tactics for the use of military DPRK. Viktor Kevlyuk told the first tactics from the Center for Defense Strategies: in his opinion, they will participate directly in the assault.
At the same time, the North Koreans will be ahead of the Russians, they will storm the trenches in small groups, and the Russians will in the meantime take the positions that have been able to move away from Ukrainians. At the same time, it is not clear what the combat capability of North Korea units, which last fought almost 70 years ago, said NYT analysts. "Given their numbers, they may influence the fighting in certain areas," the journalists of the word Colonel Artem Kholodkevich cited.
The second direction is staying in the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, said British exatashe on defense in Moscow and Kiev John Forman. In this case, on the one hand, the Russian units will be released, and, on the other hand, it will be possible to hide the real possibilities of the DPRK troops. "The reliability of the North Korean troops raises doubts about the Russians, and their use can be exposed by Russian troops," the analyst said.
The publication also spoke about the existing ratio of forces in the Kursk region. The Russian Federation gathered a 50,000th army there, Ukraine-30,000. If an additional 10 thousand North Koreans appeared on the front line, then it "could allow Russia to defeat Ukrainian forces", gave journalists the words of experts.
It should be noted that in October, the Ministry of Defense reported that North Korea had sent several thousand soldiers to the Russian Federation and they began retraining at landfills in the Far East. The information was confirmed by the Pentagon's special services: approximately, 10,000 fighters who can join the war in Ukraine. We would like to remind you that on October 19, The Telegraph spoke about almost 2,000 special forces that Pyongyang provided to Moscow.
