**North Korean Troops Used in Russian Counteroffensive Fail Miserably**
The Russian military’s use of North Korean troops to compensate for personnel shortages has backfired in the Kursk salient. The North Koreans, inexperienced and poorly trained, were used as “human bait” to distract Ukrainian drone operators.
**Desperate Tactics**
In a desperate bid to break through Ukrainian defenses near Kruglenkoe, Russian generals ordered their North Korean troops to use a tactic known as “live bait”. This involved sending soldiers to their deaths to distract the Ukrainians while others tried to attack. However, this plan failed catastrophically, resulting in heavy losses for the North Koreans.
**Russian Strategy Unravels**
The failure of the North Korean troops has forced Russian generals to re-prioritize their advance in the area of Kruglenkoe. The primary goal is still to take Malaya Loknya and eliminate the northern part of the Kursk salient, but it seems unlikely at this stage.
**North Koreans Vulnerable**
The use of North Korean troops has exposed their vulnerability to modern Ukrainian drone tactics. Unaware that they were being monitored by drones, the North Koreans moved in large groups, making them easy targets for Ukrainian artillery and precision strikes.
**Catastrophic Losses**
The North Koreans’ lack of training and experience has led to catastrophic losses. Their tactic of using live bait proved ineffective, as Ukrainian drone operators and artillery were able to neutralize multiple soldiers with a single strike.
