**North Korean Soldier’s Notebook Revealed**
Ukrainian forces have found a notebook belonging to an eliminated North Korean soldier. The soldier was fighting alongside the Russians in Kursk Oblast.
The notebook contains important information on how to counter Ukrainian drones and avoid Ukrainian artillery. It also has a personal message from the soldier to a brother-in-arms, who is celebrating their birthday.
**North Korea‘s Role in Ukraine**
In October 2024, Ukraine reported that North Korea had sent around 10,000 to 12,000 soldiers to Russia. Most of these troops went to Kursk Oblast, where Ukrainian forces captured some territory. Russia has been struggling to retake this region since August 2024.
Moscow deployed North Korean troops to boost its military strength without overstraining its domestic resources. However, this move has not been successful in helping Russia regain control of the area.
**Tactics from the Notebook**
The notebook shared by Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces Command contains some interesting tactics used by the North Korean soldier. For example, to counter drones, the soldier suggests creating a team of three people. One person lures the drone with a distance of 7 meters, while the other two shoot from 10-12 meters away. If the lure stands still, the drone will also stop moving, making it easy to eliminate.
