The War in the Ukraine

This is from back in April? Quite old news.
Rare footage of a swarm of Russian kamikaze drones "Geran2" has been published, the video was published by a resident of the Poltava region of Ukraine. Earlier, something similar was recorded in the Odessa region of Ukraine. Mass production of drones "Geran-2" has now been established in Russia. It also became known that the Russian army began to equip drones with Luneberg lenses, they are installed on the drones "Gerbera" and other models. Luneberg lenses are made in the form of a plastic ball and wrapped in foil, their use allows to increase the EPR of the drone. A drone with a Luneberg lens becomes the most contrasting target and air defense missiles are primarily aimed at them. This method allows to distract air defense forces from the "Geran-2" drones and deplete the ammunition of the missiles of the air defense systems of Ukraine.
I think it would be more of a point of pride for Korea, as they've never engaged in this level of international influence before.
Probably flew under the radar as most people were still hyping them at the time, specially when the first pictures surfaced.
In the Sumy region, a Geran is spotted flying very low before crashing into its target.

It depends. If the North Koreans are all volunteers who decided that the Russian pay is good or that the Russian cause is just, there is no difference. If the government sent them over while maintaining their T/O, then the two groups are wildly different since an actual cohesive unit is being sent to assist the Russians.
