North Korea sent its special unit, the DPRK Special Operations Forces, to the war against Ukraine.
So writes The Telegraph.
According to the 2021 Defense Intelligence Agency report, these forces are highly trained, motivated and equipped.
South Korean intelligence shared information that about 1.5 thousand North Korean special forces were transferred to Russian Vladivostok.
The publication writes that these North Korean forces are one of the most secret units of their kind in the world and are a mystery to Western states.
Reports from Western analysts call the SOF “a highly trained force equipped with the best equipment available for dangerous but important missions.”
North Korean special forces, numbering 200 thousand personnel, have 12 light infantry brigades, three reconnaissance units, three airborne divisions and three sniper units.
The number of Western special forces is orders of magnitude lower. The British SAS are believed to have only 500 active soldiers. American Delta Force has approximately 2,000 active members.
At the same time, military experts believe that North Korean special forces lag behind in signal decryption and targeting equipment, and also lack advanced explosives.
