On the Kursk front, Ukrainian military forces are encountering soldiers from North Korea, who are considered a "sweet target" for UAVs.

This was reported during a telethon by the deputy commander of the drone systems battalion of the 36th separate brigade of marine infantry named after Rear Admiral Mikhail Bilinsky. He added that the North Korean military does not understand what allows Ukrainian forces to effectively utilize them.

The military confirmed that the North Koreans are employing a "bait" tactic. One soldier acts as bait, attempting to lure in drones, while other soldiers open fire on them. As Bilinsky noted, this indicates that the command of North Korea is not hesitant about its manpower in these operations.

Moreover, earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on the latest casualties among North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region. As a result of fierce battles on January 3 and 4, the Russian army suffered losses in a North Korean infantry battalion.

Previously, Politeka also reported that Russian troops, amid significant losses and depletion of Soviet stockpiles, have significantly altered their tactics in key areas of the front, including the Kurakhove direction. According to analysts from the Institute for the Study of War, the Russian army has considerably reduced its use of armored vehicles in offensive operations.
