North soldiers are being offered with training on making use of military devices, consisting of drone operation and other technical abilities, legislator Lee Seong-kweun informed reporters.
Russian trainers taking part in military training have actually examined that while the North Korean soldiers show excellent physical stamina and morale, they do not have sufficient understanding of modern warfare techniques, particularly drone-based attacks, Lee said.As a result, the Russian trainers expect there could be a considerable number of casualties if North Korean forces are deployed to the frontlines, the legislator added.Experts believe North Korean leader Kim Jong Un most likely hopes to acquire military technologies, such as security satellites, in exchange for sending soldiers to assist Russia.
