North Korean Troops Face Challenges in First Ukraine Conflict Engagement

TL;DR Summary
Hyunseung Lee, a former North Korean soldier, warns that North Korean troops deployed to Russia are unprepared for combat against Ukrainian forces. Despite being equipped with advanced technology, these troops lack real battle experience and training with modern weaponry, making them vulnerable. Lee suggests that the soldiers, who are unlikely to be compensated, may consider defecting, as they are not fighting for their homeland or families. He emphasizes that the North Korean regime has deceived them, and the war is not worth fighting for.
