North Korean soldiers are being used to detect mines in Putin's war
Daily MailNorth Korean troops sent to support Russia are being used as 'human mine detectors' on the frontlines of the invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian and South Korean officials say the North Koreans have proven a burden to Russian forces due to their outdated battlefield tactics, while inexperience with drone warfare makes them easy targets for Kyiv's battle-hardened warriors. But Leopard said that while North Korean soldiers aren't anywhere near as heavily armed as their Russian counterparts, this will change the longer they are involved in the war. Deputy US ambassador Dorothy Camille Shea told the UN Security Council that nearly 12,000 North Korean soldiers have been training in Russia and fighting Ukraine's incursion into the Kursk region. South Korea's UN ambassador, Joonkook Hwang, told the council that North Korean soldiers are 'essentially slaves to Kim Jong Un, brainwashed to sacrifice their lives on faraway battlefields to raise money for his regime and secure advanced military technology from Russia.'
