Became a serious threat: GUR was warned about changes in the DPRK Army after participating in the war against Ukraine

To spread: Russia has helped Pyongyang modernize its armed forces and improve drones and ballistic missiles, it is said in the assessment of intelligence, and Seoul should pay attention to it, the newspaper writes. After participating in the war against Ukraine, the Army of North Korea significantly improved its capabilities. The DPRK has improved its ballistic missiles, gained the experience of warfare with drones and accelerated the production of modern weapons.

About it writes the edition of The Times with reference to the report of Ukrainian intelligence. "Cooperation with Russia gave a great opportunity to modernize its armed forces, in particular, enabled the units of the Korean People's Army to gain real experience in the modern war, to develop potential in the field of nuclear missiles, to establish the production of modern weapons systems, to strengthen their naval forces.

GUR also noted that the DPRK's army has now become a more serious threat to South Korea than it was before, and it is possible that the DPRK's willingness to use military force in its foreign policy would grow. The report of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also states that at least 9,500 North Korean soldiers participated in the war against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region.

And despite the fact that 4,000 of them were killed or injured, they quickly learned to mask from the drone and use their own drones to monitor the battlefield. It should be reminded that on July 2 it was reported that the DPRK is going to three times increase the contingent of their troops in the Russian Federation, which can now participate in hostilities in the occupied areas of Ukraine, on the grounds of Ukraine, along with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
