Koreans temporarily retreated from the battlefield: why they were brought out, whether there is a threat to the Armed Forces

The media noted that in three months the number of Koreans who came to the war to fight on the side of the Russian Federation had halved from 11 thousand. In particular, the losses led to disorganization in their benches and the lack of cohesion with the Russian units. The North Korean dictator Kim Jong -in sent "the best prepared" forces of special operations of North Korea, but the Russians used the military as infantrymen, sending waves through fields littered with mines.

According to US representatives, the decision to withdraw the DPRK troops from the front line may be volatile. So the military can return after additional training, or when the Russians find new ways to use them to avoid heavy losses. On January 30, the Lieutenant of the Armed Forces with the call sign "Alex" reported that the situation in the Kursk operating area "+- stabilized". Neither Ukrainian fighters nor the Russians take active offensive actions, while the Koreans are quiet.

"The Koreans are still quiet, especially not getting out, and infantry clashes as such are not available to claim their presence," the officer said. The military expert, the Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Zhdanov said in a conversation with the focus that the DPRK was withdrawn not from the Kursk region, but from the war zone. "Indeed, we do not see them for two weeks, we do not see them in shunting and attacking actions in the Russian troops.

So they are there on the spot, and most likely this regrouping in order to restore the combat capability of those units that have suffered losses. On the other hand , it can be a step from Kim Jong -in in terms of trading with Putin, "Oleg Zhdanov said. According to him, the North Korean soldiers are the currency that Kim Jong -in gives Putin and replace something from him. According to the expert, it may be about missile technologies.

Military analyst Pavel Narozhny told Focus that the retreat of the DPRK fighters from the Kursk region is a rotation. After all, the loss of 4,000 soldiers out of 11 thousand is almost half, which is considered a loss of combat capability of the unit. "They were taken to restore combat capability, as we have called it. That is, to replenish, to study, perhaps to heal someone, some units are reformed. It was very likely for this purpose," the analyst explained.

Zhdanov noted that the North Korean army has about one million two hundred thousand people, while so many DPRK can be called for several months. As a result, Kim Jong -in can have about 2. 5 million servicemen. Whereas 10,000 people for Ukraine are a lot, a motorizer division, but for Koreans it is a drop in the sea. The Narozhnyi emphasized that the DPRK's army dates from one million to one and a half million fighters, while Ukrainian - about 920 thousand.

The Korean Armed Forces also have about 4-5 million reservists, which can quickly be called to the army and sent to fight. He is convinced that the DPRK can be painlessly sent to the war in Ukraine several dozen of its soldiers. According to Zhdanov, in a short period it is impossible to teach the DPRK fighters. So according to intelligence and military, North Korean soldiers do not feel the threat of drones. "They have only learned to hide and knock down from them in just a few weeks.

They have not yet mastered the ways or tactics of introducing a modern war. They fight the standards of the Second World War, units of 20-30 people go on assault or attacking actions," he explained, and said, and said, and said What takes at least half a year is required for their retraining. Instead, if they return to the front line now, the situation will not change. Ukrainian fighters will only have to destroy them - and this is an additional load, the consumption of ammunition.

Moreover, according to the expert, it may also be one of the reasons for the retreat of the DPRK fighters from the front. "The North Korean leadership could have made a claim to the Russian leadership that the soldiers were not taught and simply used as cannon meat. This in no way satisfies Kim Jong -in, because he needed the military as instructors as instructors, as those who have real combat The experience of modern war, ”Zhdanov summed up.

The situation on the front will not change after the North Korean soldiers return, the people's people say. He explained that there are about 550-600 thousand Russian soldiers in the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, while 10,000 Korea fighters will not affect the events. "Yes, they are persistent, washed by propaganda fighters, they go into battle, do not pay attention to the losses.

But in general, they say that they have a very much influence on the front - I would not say," Pavel Narozhivny said. The main mistake made by Koreans on the front is the absence of cushing. They went into battle of 50-100 people in the same group, and most of the Ukrainian trenches and fortifications did not reach most, as they were destroyed by artillery. Also, a large number of DPRK fighters were lost in minefields. "They do not pay attention to the actions of our drones.

When a drone appears in the sky, they do not hide, do not run away, but simply sit and look at what is happening. The drone flies over their head - Okay, drone threw a grenade, and the next fighter died "It was so ordered to die Kim Cenn in," - said a military analyst. North Korean soldiers do not know what modern war is, they are fighting approaches from the 1950s and 1960s. However, the DPRK fighters, despite the losses, reach Ukrainian trenches, where small shooting fights are tied.

"This is a problem because if the Russians have come in this style, they would not be likely to reach the trenches. They would have worried and hidden there somewhere. And they come and continue to fight," he added. We will remind, on January 27 in the media reported the retreat of the DPRK fighters from Kursk region. In particular, North Korean soldiers suffered great losses due to lack of awareness of the threats from artillery and UAV.
