Part 6/8:

The horrific outcomes of these assaults revealed a fundamental flaw in the Russian reliance on poorly trained and equipped North Korean forces. Military analysts noted significant losses for North Korean troops, estimating around 300 killed or wounded within just the first few days of fighting.

The relentless nature of Russian and North Korean offensives has illustrated a growing tactical disparity between them and the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
