**North Korean Soldiers Face Heavy Losses in Ukraine**
A recent attack by North Korean soldiers near the town of Kruglen’koe, in Ukraine’s Kursk region, ended in disaster. The soldiers were tasked with clearing a path for Russian troops to advance on the strategic town of Malaya Loknya.
The North Koreans were largely unprepared for modern warfare tactics and faced devastating casualties due to their outdated combat approach and unfamiliarity with drone warfare.
**Russian Forces Struggle**
Russia’s own forces had been struggling to make progress in the region. Despite concentrating their efforts in two axes of attack at Pogrebki and Novoivanovka, they suffered heavy casualties with little to show for it.
This led Russia to call on North Korea to provide additional troops to help break through Ukrainian defenses. However, the North Koreans were no match for the veteran Ukrainian defenders.
**North Korean Soldiers Unprepared**
The North Korean soldiers were unprepared for the realities of modern combat. They used outdated tactics that were familiar from the Korean War, but these proved ineffective against Ukraine’s modern military.
The soldiers were unfamiliar with drone warfare and suffered catastrophic losses as a result. Despite some training, they remained vulnerable to drone strikes and artillery fire.
**Drone Warfare Takes Its Toll**
Combat footage from the area shows the devastating impact of drone warfare on the North Korean forces. Drone-corrected artillery fire and targeted drone strikes caught them off guard, leaving many dead or wounded.
In the end, the North Korean attack failed to achieve its objective, and their soldiers suffered heavy losses. Despite this setback, Russia may still use the bridgehead established by the North Koreans as a staging ground for further advances.
