The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (SSO) have released an image of a fallen North Korean soldier’s notebook that appears to show tactics for dealing with Ukrainian drones. Translated text from the notebook indicates that they have developed a three-man “human bait” tactic to lure in and destroy them.

“In his notebook, Private Gyeong Hong Jong, before his fatal encounter with SSO operators, outlined tactics for downing UAVs and hiding from Ukrainian artillery,” they added.

His notebook also included actions to take to avoid artillery barrages. “If caught in a strike zone, designate the next regrouping point (for the group), split into small groups, and exit the strike zone,” he wrote.

“Another method: since artillery does not strike the same point repeatedly, hide in the spot of a previous impact and then leave the strike zone,” he wrote.

BBC: Pyongyang has sent at least 10,000 troops to Russia, according to Kyiv and Seoul, who have also said North Korean casualties have been rising since entering combat in early December.

The tolls cited vary. South Korea said this week that more than 1,000 North Korean troops have been killed or wounded, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put the number at 3,000.

“What they lack in combat they make up for with what they can tolerate physically and mentally,” he adds.
