As reported by NBN on the official website of the US State Department, the spokesman for this American department, Vedant Patel, informed that in Putin’s army, North Korean soldiers were taught to clear/build trenches, work with artillery, drones, and were also prepared for operations on the front lines.
According to Patel, the potential success of the “second army of the world” on the battlefield, which involves the use of DPRK units, will be largely related to how well the Russian command can integrate such “manpower” into its occupation troops.
In particular, According to the US State Department spokesman, the key problems for the above-described “integration” into the ranks of Putin's army, judging by everything, will be the language barrier, coordination/command, control and communications.
However, Washington has already begun “close” consultations with allies and other countries in the European region, aimed at minimizing the consequences of a negative development of the situation.
