The War in the Ukraine

There is still no evidence of North Korean troops being used in combat and some of you are fantasising about them being used directly against a NATO country, LOL. Very active imaginations.

FWIW, I suspect the North Koreans are mostly used in support functions. A lot of soldiers are not needed on the frontline but are used in logistics and similar roles. Getting help there would offload that burden and allow Russia to deploy more of its own troops to the front. It would also limit the North Koreans' exposure to danger.

NK may be a dictatorship but public opinion still matters. I doubt people there would approve of large numbers of their soldiers dying in some foreign war far away. Keeping them off the frontlines would help that.

I have to assume they are mostly there to operate some of their weapons like Hwasong and 170mm systems. It just makes no sense to have them show up and confuse the command structure by having them on front line coordinating with a bunch of them speaking Korean. Much simpler to just point out a location and have them shoot at it.

f this is the things Kellogg might suggest then it is already DOA. NATO soldiers patrolling the border, Russia funding the rearmament of Ukraine, delaying NATO membership until Putin leaves office. The Russians aren’t going to accept an dollar store version of Minsk 3.0

Its funny they still insists on this line of aproach as if someone will buy the idea when they have routinely shown they don't abide by any of these deals when it no longer suits them. Not just with Minsk but now also with the Astana agreements.

They are just showing you need to make it a point to crush your enemy whatever it takes, and should also send a message to the two faced watermelon seller. There is no such thing as "freezing of conflict" a la DRPK as long as the current crop of western politicians and its vassals are still around.

A strike by a Russian RBK-500 SHOAB 0.5 cluster bomb. The RBK-500 SHOAB-0.5 bomb with the UMPK kit was dropped by a Su-34 frontline fighter-bomber. The video was filmed near Orekhov in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine. The RBK-500 SHOAB-0.5 bombs were accepted into service in 1969

China's banning of Antimony exports are going to have some deep implications.

Molinya FPV drone hits a Ukrainian power substation. This is a bit rangey for a mere FPV drone, so this implies the winged Molinya drone has better range than the traditional quadcopter style FPV drone.
