North Korea's deployment of 11,000 troops to Russia, disguised as Russian soldiers, has provided the West with insights into the capabilities of Kim Jong Un's army. Experts and intelligence reports reveal that these troops, largely special operations forces, are highly motivated, well-trained, and brutal in combat. Though their tactics are outdated, they pose a significant challenge to Ukrainian forces, particularly in the Kursk region. The war marks North Korea's largest military deployment to a foreign conflict and offers a valuable learning experience for its soldiers in the art of modern warfare.

Biden's White House said late last month that 'it is clear that Russian and North Korean military leaders are treating these troops as expendable and ordering them on hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses.'A White House spokesperson previously described the North Koreans as 'highly indoctrinated, pushing attacks even when it is clear that those attacks are futile.
