Ukrainian Missile Attack Kills Six North Korean Officers near Donetsk


You wonder if the KIA were any of these lickspittles? Photo: Reuters

Six North Korean military officers were among about 20 military personnel killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on Russian-occupied territory near the city of Donetsk. Three North Korean servicemen were also wounded.

The DPRK officers were reportedly visiting the front lines as part of an ‘exchange of experience’ program.

That's some experience they received!

The attack came after Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky accused North Korea of providing weapons to Russia.

Ukrainian intelligence officials said last year that North Korean military personnel, including engineers, were operating in Russian-occupied territory. Russia was planning to mobilize North Korean laborers for various construction projects in occupied Ukrainian territory.

combat experience since 1953. So many of their officers have medals, ribbons, garlands, stars etc etc on their uniforms.

For which campaigns, wars, or battles did they earn all of these incredible-looking awards?

America's Army Natl Guardsmen and Army Reservists have more combat experience than these bloated uniformed popinjays.
