The Russian soldiers talk disdainfully about the incoming North Korean soldiers, codenamed the “K Battalion,” at one point referring to them as “the f**king Chinese.”
If there’s one thing russians ain’t, it’s racially sensitive.
That’s not all they’re saying.
Well, if a shit force thinks another force is shit, I guess the rest of us have a little less to worry about. At this point, desperation is the only big concern.

I doubt the Russians speak Korean or the Koreans speak Russian. No idea if they know how to use each other’s hardware. Very difficult to coordinate units with that kind of gap.
If Russian commanders take this as license to use Korean soldiers as cannon fodder, I imagine that will degrade the relationship between the two countries rapidly.
You never need to use the word “if” when talking about Russian commanders and cannon fodder.
Just “where” and “when”.
Also “how many million?”
This whole war has been downright medieval with its disregard for human life. Russians stuffed into trenches to get obliterated by Ukrainian artillery. Ukrainians doing a Charge of the Light Brigade into Kursk only to be surrounded and slaughtered. Fucking nightmarish war. But its getting a lot of Slavs killed, which I guess is what everyone else in the world wants.
I personally played both sides to orchestrate this war just to improve the quality of my Counter Strike matches.
This shouldn’t be funny but I’m truly chuckling at this.
Руш б сука!
Слава террористы!
I’m not seeing anything in the article about their competence being criticized. Seems like plain ol’ racism to me.
Not to say the NK troops really are more competent. Their training is likely essentially the same as it was in the 50s.
Why do you suppose the training would be out of date? We hear often enough of North Korean cyber attacks so we know that they’re keeping up with at least some technologies. Do you really suppose that they don’t study other countries military exercises, battles and training material? That they don’t play computer war games?
A nepotistic officer corps and no actual combat for seventy years is not a good combination for military readiness.
What to do with them? Help them escape.
“How can be such terrible soldiers when have such big caps?”
