North Korean troops fighting alongside Russia in Ukraine are suffering heavy casualties, with recent intelligence indicating around 1,000 killed and up to 3,000 wounded. This represents over a third of the 11,000 troops deployed to the Kursk region. As losses mount, the operational effectiveness of North Korean forces is deteriorating, limiting their ability to support Russian military objectives. Analysts warn that if losses continue at the current rate, North Korea could deplete its forces in a matter of months, causing interoperability challenges due to language barriers and integration issues with Russian forces.
The high rate of North Korean losses in a short period of time has almost certainly significantly deteriorated DPRK forces' capacity to conduct offensive combat operations.
The North Korean troops have only achieved tactical gains in Kursk, indicating significant challenges in collaboration and operational effectiveness.
