Defence Intelligence have said a detachment of 10,000 North Korean soldiers sent into Russia to help in its fight against Ukraine is unlikely to prove successful.
“Russian and DPRK forces would almost certainly experience interoperability difficulties having not previously carried out joint military exercises. DPRK troops conducting combat operations would almost certainly have issues operating Russian equipment, integrating into Russia’s command and control structure, and working around the language barrier with Russian forces.”
Although such a move is meant to strengthen Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, it may suffer setbacks due to lack of previous cooperation, and language differences.
