◇ Anchor> The soldiers dispatched to the Kursk front are known as the best special forces. However, it was said that there were three times more casualties than the North Korean military casualty estimate announced by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. What is the reason for this difference?

◆ Kim Geum-hyuk> So when you say this is a special forces unit, I don't know how much North Korea has taken out from 12,000 troops now.Ma was basically elected by the Storm Corps and the Special Operations Force of the Korean People's Army. It's right that he was selected. However, special forces are effective as special forces if they are used for special operations. However, if you look at Russia's current use of North Korean troops on the Russian battlefield, especially on the Kursk front, it is sending them to a more pathetic battlefield than a complete frontline infantry. So, without basic defense equipment or weapons, you're just walking around the bare field without an armoured vehicle or anything like that, and you're being attacked by a drone without unilaterally responding to anything, right? Therefore, even special operations forces, people who have been trained for a special purpose, can actually not use the training they received before and show less combat power than ordinary infantry.

◇Anchor> You talked about drone attacks, but if you look at the video, it seems that many people felt sorry that the North Korean military was helplessly attacked by a drone. In fact, this drone attack is difficult for the North Korean military to be trained. What do you think?

◆Kim Geum-hyuk> That's right. I'm sure those soldiers didn't know anything about the existence of such drones when they were in North Korea. Drones are not currently commercialized in North Korea. Some special units are using drones, but the broad range used by the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian military has been using drones for really different purposes for about two and a half years, haven't they? Compared to them, the experience that the North Korean military has is really insignificant. Of course, he was sent to Russia and received intensive training for about a few weeks, but in the end, the training cannot exceed the two and a half years of Ukrainian military combat experience. What we can learn from the released video is that even if he had been trained on drones, he faced them without any protective equipment in such a large open area.Ghana actually has very little chance of avoiding it.

◇ Anchor> I don't think they'll know if it's an ally or an enemy if they fly.

◆Kim Geum-hyuk> That's right. As a result, North Korean soldiers now shoot whenever they see a drone. It could be a Russian drone, but the Russian military has such a complaint. Since the North Korean military has a high fear of drones, there were also complaining interviews in which the North Korean military fired guns regardless of the enemy or the South Korean military. That's why it can be said that the North Korean military is being scolded very badly by drones.
