North Korea has significantly increased military assistance to Russia — what is known

North Korea
Source:  AP News

According to South Korea, North Korea sent about 3,000 more soldiers to Russia in January and February. North Korea is also sending more missiles, artillery equipment and ammunition to help Russia.

Points of attention

  • North Korea has sent a substantial number of soldiers, missiles, artillery equipment, and ammunition to Russia, as confirmed by South Korea.
  • Kim Jong-un expressed strong support for Russia's war against Ukraine, enhancing the alliance between North Korea and Russia.
  • Despite suffering heavy losses, North Korean troops are increasing military aid to Russia, contributing to the ongoing conflict.

North Korea increased arms supplies to Russia

Kim Jong-un is increasing military aid to Russia, sending soldiers, missiles and artillery. North Korean troops are suffering heavy losses, but the Kremlin is demanding more.

The military equipment sent by North Korea to Russia includes a "significant number" of short-range ballistic missiles, 170-millimeter self-propelled howitzers and about 220 units of 240-millimeter multiple launch rocket systems.

North Korea sent about 11,000 troops to participate in the war against Ukraine, which was its first participation in a large-scale conflict since the 1950-1953 Korean War.

According to estimates by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Seoul, about 4,000 of them were killed or wounded.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service has previously attributed North Korea's high casualties to the troops' difficulty adapting to drones and other elements of modern warfare. North Korean forces have been further hampered by the crude tactics of their Russian commanders, who have sent them into assaults without fire support.

However, Ukrainian military and intelligence officials have estimated that the North Koreans are gaining important combat experience and playing a key role in Russia's strategy for war against Ukraine, throwing large forces into the battle in the Kursk region.

The South Korean military report came after North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un expressed his unwavering support for Russia's war against Ukraine during a meeting with Russian military official Sergei Shoigu last week in Pyongyang.

State media reported that Kim and Shoigu reaffirmed their commitment to upholding a major mutual defense treaty signed last year.

On March 26, the Air Force released the first interview with a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot, who talks about combat missions, tactics of use, and a powerful team that has successfully mastered Western technology and new approaches to its application.

Points of attention

  • Get a unique perspective from a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot on combat missions and tactics in this exclusive interview.
  • Learn about the success rate of Ukrainian forces with Western technology, hitting targets with over 80% accuracy, including various types of missiles.
  • Explore how Ukrainian intelligence forces adapt quickly to receive up-to-date data, ensuring effective strikes at tactical depth.

Almost every missile hits its target — Ukrainian F-16 pilot

The pilot, whose identity is not being disclosed at this time, says that almost every day, F-16 fighter pilots perform more than one or two flights to defeat the enemy behind the line of combat contact, on the territory of the Russian Federation, on the territory temporarily occupied by the Russians. Falcon pilots also perform flights to cover other combat brothers (MiG-29, Su-27, Su-24, Su-25).

The pilot notes that the effectiveness of using Western equipment by Ukrainian soldiers, both ground and air, is very high.

Almost every missile hits its target… More than 80% of the missiles we launch hit their target. They destroy both Shaheds and sea-based, air-based and land-based cruise missiles. We know the targets in advance, our intelligence works quite well, even despite the media spreading the rumor that we don’t receive intelligence data…

We can say that our intelligence forces adapt very quickly, we receive up-to-date data... Currently, we can only strike at tactical depth, but the effectiveness of these strikes is very high: if we want, our bomb will fly into someone's window.
