◇ Anchor> The issue of sending North Korean troops must be of the greatest interest to us, but isn't there a story like this that the North Korean military is about to be deployed to the front of the battlefield? In the midst of this, it is said that the Ukrainian military has armed the North Korean military with 60mm mortars and night vision goggles in Russia. What kind of weapon is this 60mm mortar?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> When we say po, we just think in common sense that there is a short-lived po and a long-running po. Then, to put it simply, we call it an ICBM, an intercontinental ballistic missile. This means the range is 15,000km. Then, I'll reduce the number of points. If you look at it, there are about 30 people in the platoon level, and if I have to destroy the enemy, the opponent coming from 2km or 3km in front of my platoon level, I need that kind of gun. That's what a gun with a range of 2-3km is called a 60mm mortar. And a little bit more than that is called an 81mm mortar in Korea, and this 81mm mortar is mainly owned by infantry units. And if you move on, 105mm, 155mm, 152mm, all of these are from the artillery unit. So, I can tell you that 60mm mortars are mainly used to stop enemies from coming from the platoon level from 2 to 3 kilometers away.

◇ Anchor> In that sense, if the North Korean military is armed with 60mm mortars as Ukraine claims, there is a possibility that it will be used in small-scale battles and small-scale battles. However, in the midst of this, a close aide to Russian President Putin mentioned that World War III could occur due to U.S. intervention. We talked about the U.S. presidential election earlier, but what will be the impact of the war depending on the results of the presidential election?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> I think there may be an impact on the war. And now, the Russian official talking about World War III was blackmail, and it was a threat. In other words, don't intervene in the United States, NATO, or Europe. But I think Europe and the United States are all watching November 5th. And in the worst case, the results of the presidential election come out for more than 10 days, but if it comes out quickly, the results of the presidential election can come out in three to four days. So I think that the United States, NATO, and the European Union are going to decide how to check Russia and support Ukraine on this, based on the results of the presidential election, starting on November 11. So NATO will never intervene in the name of NATO. The moment you intervene in the name of NATO, as you just said, World War III can happen. However, individual countries can intervene. The reason is that President Macron said five times in February this year that he would send 2,000 French troops to support Ukraine. But the only thing I'm asking is looking at the results of the presidential election. So once this is over, the countries responsible for Europe, namely France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, are very interested in the issue of sending troops and there is a possibility that they will support it. This is how you look at it. Even if the U.S. does not send troops, so far, it has prevented so-called long-range and long-range missiles from shooting missiles falling on the ground of Russia. It's very likely that they'll release that part, so let's look at it like this.
