The involvement of North Korean troops in the war in Russia has raised questions about the future of the conflict. Early estimates put more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers in the war. Experts warn that continued North Korean involvement, especially if the number of troops is increased over time, could have serious consequences. Some analysts suggest that the 10,000 North Korean troops could be a benchmark for assessing the effectiveness of Kim Jong Un’s military on foreign soil. So have North Korean soldiers changed the balance of power on the battlefield?
According to initial estimates, more than 10,000 soldiers were involved in the war.
Some reports suggest that as many as 3,000 soldiers were secretly transported to the Russian territory of Kursk on the border in civilian trucks, and that the troops were already fighting on the front lines.
So can North Korean soldiers change the balance of power on the battlefield?
Since the conflict began in 2022, Russia has suffered huge losses, with more than 700,000 soldiers.
Some analysts suggest that these 10,000 North Korean troops could be a benchmark for assessing the effectiveness of Kim Jong Un’s military on foreign soil.
If Ukraine quickly neutralizes this new threat, it could force Pyongyang to reassess its strategy.
