Some of the mercenaries accounts are finally coming through:

So this guy:

Signs a contract to serve in a nation's military.
Disobeys an order virtually straight away.
Deserts in a time of war.
Disguises himself as a red cross humanitarian worker to cross the border into Poland (a war crime)
Then talks shit about the army and country he signed up to fight and posts it on the internet.

Do western soldiers have no morals at all?
If he's still in Poland he needs to be arrested and sent straight back across the border for court martialling.

The problem with a being a mercenary is you are only fighting for money.
Just like any job, there is a limit to what you can be paid to do.

In Ukraine they try to add that you are also fighting for "Freedom and Democracy", this sounds great until you realize they are kind of meaningless constructs.

When a Kalibr blows up some guys you met last week , you learn the meaning of "you can't pay me enough to do this job!"

Well, in the case of the North Korean Army or volunteers, they will be fighting with their ally Russia against the US/NATO.

Plus remember there are rear area jobs as well.

I was only referring to a portion of the whole.
Are the Russians operating in the Ukrainian rear in Donbas?
Otherwise, you’re doing a nice job of developing my idea! ;) LOL!
Atomicfrog also suggested offering MiG-29s; I think they might settle for MiG-23s!

Following on from this, perhaps Russia and North Korea could use the Chinese RMB as a reference currency for their trade

Javelin is a damn sight more complex than TOW. If it were so easy Russia would already have a Javelin analog, no?

Yeah they haven't and it's kind of mystery that all these decades they seem to never really interested in fire and forget ATGM.
They do demonstrate fancy mmwave radar seeker for the Kh-25, but seems to never field the missile operationally. Even their newest Vikhr is laser beamrider.

Javelin is TV guided. It is quite common on aerial bombs since decades ago. It is not new tech.

No. Javelin is Infra red guided, it's basically Igla or stinger but it kills tanks.
