Irreparable loss: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost 40% of 11,000 Koreans sent to the war with Ukraine - BBC

Journalists, referring to sources, reported that out of 4,000 killed, wounded and captives, 1000 died until mid -January. If the data is confirmed, these losses will be irreparable for North Korea. In three months, the North Korean troops suffered almost 40% of losses during the fighting in the western Kursk region. About it reports BBC with reference to Western government sources.

Officials who agreed to speak on the conditions of anonymity said that of about 11,000 servicemen who had transferred to Russia, the combat losses were 4,000 killed, wounded, missing or captured. It is also reported that out of 4000 people, 1000 died by mid -January. If the information is confirmed, it will be irreparable losses for North Korea. There is no information where the wounded is treated and when and in what amount they are planned to be replaced.

But these figures indicate extremely high expenses that the Kremlin ally is the head of the DPRK State Council Kim Jong -in. The North Korean troops were reported that from the "elite" unit "assault corps" were probably thrown into battle after relatively small training. "These are barely trained troops under the command of Russian officers who they do not understand," explained the former commander of the British Army tank regiment Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon.
