What do we know about the North Korean troops joining Russia’s war?

Al Jazeera  

Soldiers from the isolated communist state have no experience in modern warfare and a lot to learn on the battlefield. Here’s what you should know about these troops’ presence in the conflict zone and why North Korea is joining Russia’s war. North Korea has been providing Russia with large quantities of 122mm and 152mm artillery ammunition, as well as mortar rounds and rockets for Russia’s multiple rocket artillery systems. Ukraine’s concern, and NATO’s, is that the first few thousand North Korean troops in Kursk will be the first of many more to follow. Russia has chosen to bring North Korean soldiers into the fight, so far a few thousand but the possibility of large numbers of foreign soldiers joining Russian forces is but a step away.
