You seem confused again, Dave.

We were talking about Ukrainian will to fight & if I knew Ukrainians (which I do)

Youve picked a lad (because you agree with him) who has less military experience than me because it suits your agenda. Keep up the good work though Dave, embarrassing yourself again

Yet another military Walter Mitty, social media is awash with them The lad on YouTube has a verifiable military background, interviews serving soldiers in Ukraine (his mates). You, random fantasist...

First time I’ve been called a Walter Mitty by a fella sat in his ma’s box room, in pissy bills.

Still think it's sadly hilarious that this pathetic creature on here just carries on spreading Russian propaganda for free on their own time, even after the high profile 'influencers' spreading the exact same sentiments have been exposed for raking in millions of roubles.

What a way to spend your retirement years. Former friends or family won't pick up the phone or return your calls, so just hop on the web to share around some pro-Kremlin links that the "lads at work" have forwarded you that day.

According to our Putin loving spud the amend above is more in line with its point in life.

I'm less concerned about NK troops and more to do with the weaponry they'll be providing. When was the last time NK was involved in a war?

Are they well resourced and trained? If anything, apart from the bravado and possible desire to get stuck in (if professionals), they'll be fairly green.

It'll be interesting to see how, if used on the front line, they'll be integrated into the chain of command, because I can't see them being autonomous.

So will Russia use them wisely, or will they be more cannon fodder? The rounds, shells, drones and missiles are more of a concern.

It is more the, or the potential for escalation.

They are part of NK's 'special forces' although the number of special forces is thought to be around 200,000 so how special they are is anyone's guess. They don't have anything like the equivalent NATO or similar SO equipment and its unclear what experience in battle they would have.

Most likely they are NK's soldiers most loyal to the regime and therefore not going to defect at the first opportunity. They'll be slung into the meat grinder you would guess. The fact they most probably can't speak Russian will also be a limiting factor to their use.

Probably used in human wave “meat assaults” with the intention of identifying Ukrainian defensive positions, that they can slam with glide bombs and arty.

Standard Russian operating procedure.
