Confirmation that Pyongyang sent personnel to “gain combat experience.”
The DPRK army claims that on October 3, as a result of a missile strike by the Defense Forces on an enemy concentration near Donetsk, 20 servicemen were killed, six of whom were North Korean officers. Three more DPRK representatives were wounded.
According to information posted in Russian propaganda sources, before the attack, the occupiers demonstrated to the Koreans training of personnel in methods of conducting offensive and defensive actions.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reported in the past about the possibility of sending a limited contingent of North Korean troops to the front line in Ukraine. In the United States, believed that Putin's army was using “guests” from the DPRK as cannon fodder for its assaults.
However, experts noted that Pyongyang would take advantage of this situation to train its elite servicemen in real combat conditions – something that the Kim Jong-un regime sorely lacks. It seems that this version has been confirmed. The DPRK is sending the Russians not only people, but also a huge number of shells – almost half of what the occupying army uses at the front.
