The DPRK soldiers involved in the war against Ukraine by Russia faced not only a language barrier but also a lack of experience in modern warfare. This was reported by a representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Andriy Yusov in an interview with a Ukrainian TV channel, according to a correspondent of UNN.

"The language problem remains one of the key issues. All units are provided with interpreters, but this is not enough," Yusov said.
In addition, he added that the DPRK army lacks the knowledge to conduct modern warfare.
The training that has taken place is still primarily concerned with the development and use of classical Soviet tactics and military science. That is, given that North Korean troops have not had any real combat experience for a very long time, since the Korean War, this is all new to them. And the issue of using unmanned systems is something they need to master not only as operators, but also in responding to the work of the Ukrainian security and defense forces. And there are many questions for them. Other technological systems, work with unmanned systems of all types, including ground-based ones. That is, modern warfare for them, well, let's say, is something they have to master
Recall
Earlier UNN wrote that more than 3 thousand North Korean mercenariesbegan training at military training grounds in the Kursk region of Russia. They are accompanied by employees of the DPRK Embassy as interpreters and observers.
