Indoctrinated, loyal and well trained: Don’t underestimate North Korean soldiers in Russia, some experts say
Far from their homes in one of the world’s most isolated and secretive states, about 11,000 North Korean soldiers find themselves at the center of Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II.
“If I was going to describe their capability more broadly and not think about the kit that they had, I would tell you that these are not battle-hardened troops, they haven’t been in combat before,” the US official said, adding their assessment was that casualties included “all ranks” including leaders at command-and-control nodes.
But some analysts have warned against underestimating the North Koreans.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will be sending “the best” from an elite force of highly trained and “indoctrinated” soldiers known as the Storm Corps, according to retired Lt. Gen. Chun In-bum, a veteran of the South Korean army.
🤣🤣🤣 "Beware of the norks"...😂
