TL;DR Summary

North Korea has reportedly sent 11,000 troops to Russia, including members of its elite Storm Corps, to support the war in Ukraine. However, doubts have been raised about the quality of these troops, with some experts suggesting they are not the best of North Korea's special forces. The deployment is seen as a move to gain combat experience, but the troops are described as young and inexperienced, potentially serving as "cannon fodder." This involvement has raised concerns about the conflict's escalation and prompted South Korea to reconsider its arms export policies.
