If true Ukraine has 48 hours left before total defeat, shall I remind you that the average North Korean pull the trains that stopped midway on a daily basis, imagine what soldiers can do

Ukrainians watching a Juche super soldier unit run together at 40 km/h and jump over his abrams tank with one of them holding the turret and the others holding the tracks, then for them to let go except the one holding the turret then he lifts it up and spins around then tosses it at an f16

Pictured: average juche supersoldier grabs fistful of electricity from the nearby high voltage line and smashes it into the Abrams tank, 2025, colourised

Isn't this an unverified claim? DPRK denied it IIRC, and I haven't seen hard proof yet

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

Article says they're gonna be releasing a bunch of evidence soon

But like many Americans I don't really give a shit? Got enough to worry about around here. I just want that damn war over and more importantly than anything for arms transfers to Israel to stop

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

We will see, I don't doubt it, there's good reason for the DPRK to want combat experience and to maintain good ties with the Russian Federation, but I had also heard that it isn't yet verified.

Personally i think they send observers for the experience and info about modern drone warfare which is something nato has also done

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

That makes a lot of sense.

[-] Bisexual_Cookie@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

There’s the old trope of the contents of a story contradicting the headline, but this is the first time I’ve seen the headline and subheadline contradict each other.

I guess the call has gone out to activate all US client states to maximum aggressive posture for simultaneous global proxy wars against multipolarity.

it's election season, yank all the chains and rattle all the cages!

Sounds like some bullshit to me. Until Russia or DPRK makes an announcement about it I'm not going to believe it.

[-] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

I don't think there's been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

This is probably not true but I hope it is.

[-] Finger@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

no more half measures walter

Hope they bag some banderite ass

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

And still not a single shred of evidence

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Every time they put out these photos of the close swarm of camo DPRK it reminds me of the Guitar Army in Idiocracy.

[-] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] coolusername@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think they are there. I saw some videos on telegram. They probably want to give NK soldiers some combat experience somewhere relatively safe (Kursk). NK and Russia also recently signed some sorta military pact.
