[Capture news] I disguised myself as a "Native Siberian" but...the North Korean army that can't even speak Russian.

The first dispatch of the North Korean military was the Vietnam War, which broke out in 1955 and ended 20 years later.

He supported fighter pilots and psychological warfare units in Wolmeng, and it is known that there are hundreds of people.

During the Fourth Middle East War in 1973, we also sent fighter pilots to Egypt.

Since then, military advisers and instructors have been provided to Libya, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the size has remained in the dozens.

During the Syrian civil war in 2016, ground troops were sent, but only about 20 people were sent.

This is the first time such a large-scale North Korean ground force has been sent, and the North Korean military, which was first transported to Russia, is currently dispersed in the Far East and is stationed in Russian military units.

It is expected to be deployed to the front line as soon as adaptation training is completed, but experts predict that the role may be limited due to lack of combat experience and linguistic problems.

In addition, it is analyzed that North Korea will have considerable burden to fill all 10,000 dispatched personnel with elite troops at a time when the South is specified as a hostile country.

As a large number of North Korean weapons and ammunition have been transferred to Russia, the role of managing and maintaining them is discussed first.

[Cho Han-beom / Senior Researcher at the Korea Institute for National Unification] It could be an additional dispatch, but it remains to be seen whether this is a combat force and an elite force that is directly put into the front line.]

However, 1,500 special forces troops who were transferred in the first round appear to be deployed to the battlefield soon.

The NIS found that they were given Russian military uniforms and Russian-made weapons and even issued counterfeit identification cards of Siberian natives with similar appearance to North Koreans.
