There are recent reports that North Korea may send 100,000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine. I doubt it will happen. But if it does, how will it affect the war? Will they be equipped with Russian gear, or will they bring their own weapons, vehicles and gear? Seeing North Korean material in combat would be cool.

is there anyone else other than solovyov who has actually provided details about this and not just retweeted quotes of his
Supposedly it was stated on Russian state TV. That doesn’t give me much more confidence in its truth though.
>it was stated on Russian state TV
Holy frick... The Russians are sending 100k troops to North Korea??
What could be the purpose?
Are you having an anal spasm in your brain?
Maybe get some sleep
heh
I get it
>russia asking the hobbit army for help
lmao
You joke, but the Hobbits are capable warriors when they are forced to fight.
how would you know? They havent been in a war for like 70 years and even then they got stomped to death. Only reason there even is a north korea is because the chinese spilled their seed into the north
Oh I dunno. They were killing UN troops, eliminating half the SK armed forces and capturing pretty much the entire South Korea before outside countries stepped in with fresh resources. This is likely how Russia would have eradicated Ukraine if outside countries hadn't eventually stepped in with fresh resources.
>Hobbits haven't been in a war for like 70 years
Battle of Greenfields was like 200 years ago
> even then they got stomped to death
Bandobras Took himself led the charge at the goblin lines and knocked Golfimbul's head off.
You are moronic if you think they got stomped.
Fake news.
I figure it isn’t realistic. But the thought of drone footage of waves of screaming Nork troops charging fanatically across the fields of Ukraine like a re-enactment of Korean War Chinese forces behind masses of Nork modified t-62s and type-59s would be amazing to see.
Their soldiers are likely a rung below even the donbabwean militia in everything but pure endurance of shitty conditions.
How do we know this though. They could be anywhere from poor peasants with a rifle and outdated doctrine to a decent fanatic force.
I want to say you are right but if you cannot afford to feed your troops you are probably not able to expend ammunition for training.
If you were Kim would you send your actual good troops (special forces) to die in some far away place, but more importantly to see what the real world looks like?
We had a few defections you know. Hell one of the border guards (Who are the best fed, connected etc) ran across the border and was found to be infested with worms. I don't have high hopes for the NK military which is mostly just a labor force
They "might" be better than the donbabwean conscripts the ruskies have been sending but we all know that almost 90% of those 100,000 troops have only fired their weapon once and probably have had no proper combat training beyond following marching orders in parade.
>in everything but pure endurance of shitty conditions.
If it wasn't for every asiatic being super susceptible to deserting to the "west", this is probably one of the most important traits to possess in the eyes of high command. Any soldier who enters this conflict and doesn't just break immediately is worth his weight in oats and canned meat spreads
Has North Korea ever had to sustain that many people outside it's borders before?
No, thats the point. North Korea wants to send 100,000 soldiers off so Russia can supply them. Theyre just looking for a free meal.
its just as bullshit as 50k syrians earlier, moron
All the rotten corruption and brutality from the Russian army is probably also present in the NK army, but worse.
Ukrainian locals say that some of the Asian soldiers of the Russian army have never seen indoor plumbing, imagine this with Norks.
>"Second best army"
>Has to bring in the North Koreans
Jesus Russia, maybe it's time to stop pretending and go to the back of the bus with all the other failures like Mali abd Zimbabwe.
So, the recent "reports" are some FSB goon on a propaganda show just making shit up, the NYPost's specialty. N. Korea hasn't even offered any troops.
So, of course the vatnik robots are running wild with it and making threads about it constantly.
Not a vatnik. I didn’t see the thread in the catalog and even though I don’t think it will happen, it makes for some interesting what if situations. Plus I’m curious what sort of equipment they would likely use.
>the
They're more proud of the tractors than the munitions
I'm more proud of my tractor from the 1940's than any weapon I own; it's been through more than any modern piece of shit has and still runs good.
>inb4 the Koreans steal Russian vehicles like the gypsies.
Don't make fun on the Dear Respected Marshal or we'll nuke you
pls no asiatic nook 🙁
Always reminds me of some C&C generals shit
what's in the nuclear sandwich boxes? irradiated apples?
Technically it could be the classic suicide combo of a conventional charge packed inside a padding of nuclear material, essentially a dirty bomb. It's quite simple technology if you happen to have enrichened plutonium hanging around. You don't get the fancy mushroom but it is quite the way to tell the enemy to get out of the place you just decorated with your own limbs and innards. If those weren't just parade props it would have been an enlightening experience to carry such devices on your chest for a while.
>If you happened to have Enriched Plutonium around
Russia invading the UK for their plutonium reserves confirmed.
I... those are supposed to be full of NBC gear, right? I understand that they are really stuffed with straw and pigeon feathers but those are supposed to be representative of MOPP style gear stored in cases for specialist troops, right? Surely the norks were not parading around a bunch of kids backpacks thinking that anyone would believe they were suitcase nukes?
>the westoid fears the Juche suitcsse nuke
If this is true it will be a historic tipping point in the operation. Russian armor supported by Korean infantry. Imagine if USA faced massive
Russian high tec armored formations and MIG fighters in Vietnam alongside the tenacity of the vietnamese defenders. This will be like Vietnam times 100 to NATO. The world will never be the same after this.
>Russia
>High tec armored formations
Bring in the high-tech T-62 comrade!
Yes yes send in the 10th and final T-14
It's funny that some vatlet drew this thinking it was the state of the Puccian army.
To be fair, most of us thought that was real 6 months ago. I sure as hell did, and I blame movies and cowadoody.

That looks nothing like a korean, Jethro.

LEL.
All your squints look the same.
This is why I don't join the military. I would literally destroy a drill instructor once they start yelling at me.
You mean, that's why you aren't qualified to become even a recruit.
Say that to my face, sarge.
It's called being psychologically unfit for service. I am sure you will find some paid occupation eventually where conditions are less demanding on you.
Its called being based and not a subhuman sheep to be herded to the slaughter. Eat shit zogbot.

>tfw it's these types of buttholes who would've gotten shanked by every company member when Running The Gauntlet.
Maybe they are hoping the Norks steal all the Ukrainian food and deal with the dogs that are eating dead russians?
I don't believe it for a minute. However if it IS true, they could probably improve a lot on Russian logistics who are apparently currently run by Krokodil addicts.
they will just get mowed en mass by MG42's
it will be both sad and hilarious
Can russia swallow the humiliation of having to ask norks for help?
to get humiliated you first have to have dignity to start with, so yeah, they'd send any Korean they can get their hands on in a snap
They already have, they can't pay enough for Norks to fix their old Soviet tanks lmao
>nypost
I get more reliable news, albeit more local, from the junkies hanging near the red-light district metro station.
I didn’t take it seriously. But it’s a crazy and almost funny possibility to consider. I wonder if they would be more motivated than the Russian forces if they did go and if they could make zany difference at all.
>Solider go to Ukraine
>South Korea invades NK
Jej
I’m anticipating a Turkish invasion of Syria and for the US to start beating the war drums over Iran again soon. Everyone knows now that Russia can’t do anything.
100,000 less mouths to feed.
They would have to bring their own equipment - including fuel, by the way - because Russia is unable to properly supply even its fifth column in Ukraine. And if b***hing on Telegram by regular Russian Army is right, they can't reliably do so for their own countrymen, either. Unless you're Wagner or a Kadyrovite, you better be saying your prayers.
Norkie gear is 60s vintage or earlier, and it's questionable how much of it is in functional shape. Your average Nork soldier is less a fighter and more of a state-owned slave. Most of what they do is farm labor. 100,000 North Koreans would probably desert at first opportunity and would shatter on impact with actual resistance on the battlefield.
doubtful
>tfw 100,000 ladyboys come marching across your door
sending starving soldiers while russia has trouble feeding it's own soldiers? Kek
NK soldiers aren't starving. They are a priority group of the population and the regime's existence relies on their loyalty, so they are fed. It is the population in the rural areas who goes hungry when times are bad.
Must be why their tallest soldiers are half the height of Sorkie border guards. Excellent nutrition making a denser Korean.
I kinda doubt that SK border guards represent the physical average of their country. But sure, a better diet will change the population over time. Happened in Japan, and in China. A worse diet will also make changes, which makes the western world's obesity issues easy to see.
They should bring them in the winter and promise them all they can eat if they take Odessa.
>Casualties: 50,000 civilians eaten
>Complete DPRK Victory
I wonder how many of them would try to escape to western europe.
Some, but probably not many. For one thing they don't speak any western languages. For another there's not that many single Korean women to mingle with and even fewer who have a thing for the penniless. For a third, NK specialices in population countrol and would carefully pick such soldiers whose families at home could face serious peril as a result of traiterous defection. Remember how DDR used to keep its soldiers in check?
would be surreal, imagine these nibbas marching straight out of the 60's into ukraine, would probably fight like the nips in WW2
this makes no sense. aren't those 100k norks going to be needed to help china deal with taiwan?
More likely Beijing would use Nork troops as a goon squad to suppress draft riots after the first attempt at an invasion of Taiwan makes Gallipoli look like D-Day by comparison.
Maybe we will finally see those NK helix AK mags in milsurp stores after this debacle ends
What people don't seem to understand about the NK army is that it's basically a meaningless designation. Every nork male has to serve, and a lot of females too. They aren't actually trained as soldiers though since NK doesn't have the money and equipment or even the real need for that kind of standing army. In reality they're just used as state slave labor, usually just as farmers and miners. If NK actually sent 100k trained military personnel, that would be pretty much the entirety of their professional military, and would present a massive problem domestically if anything were to happen to them. If they're sending anything, it's going to be 100k ditch diggers and crate haulers.
Everyone is a "soldier" in North Korea, but it doesn't mean they're expected to ever see the front line. The dying Russian Empire has realized that it doesn't have enough workforce, and is buying 100000 slaves to do menial jobs.
Most of the colossal North Korean army is worthless starving peasant conscripts. However, North Korea also has the world's largest Special Forces. Those are the "real" North Korean army and while they're not exactly up to par with the SAS they are at least trained, supplied, and motivated on a level you would expect of a second-world nation. But NK isn't sending shit, they have no reason to involve themselves in this bloody and pointless war and lack force projection.
>they have no reason to involve themselves in this bloody and pointless war
How about free gas to keep the people calm and warm and money for Kim?
Does NK really want European countries declaring war on them?
I keep seeing zoomers acting like it's fricking unheard of for North Koreans to participate in foreign wars as volunteers, or that all the North Koreans would just immediately defect when they see how better things are outside their country.
For the record, North Koreans fought in Vietnam and the Yom Kippur War.
