Analysis Why North Korean troops are suffering heavy losses in combat with UkraineExperts suggest DPRK soldiers were ill-prepared for modern combat, while stressing they will quickly learn from mistakes Reports from Ukraine indicate that casualties are rapidly mounting among the North Korean troops deployed to support Russia’s invasion, with the latest estimate finding that DPRK soldiers’ poor preparedness for modern warfare has already resulted in thousands of dead or wounded. But experts cautioned against underestimating the 11,000 North Korea forces fighting in Kursk, emphasizing that recent failures will only push Moscow and Pyongyang to reassess their tactics and provide valuable lessons for the DPRK’s military strategists. © Korea Risk Group.
