Cope. The Koreans were, and are, more formidable than any of the NATO people thought theyd be. Thats a fact.

It seems like your point is that unless you invent an entirely new battlefield tactic, that you're irrelevant? Again, the idea that the Koreans were, in any way, irrelevant in the Ukraine war is a fringe position that no one in a military position posits. It's pure cope.

It seems like youre confusing "irrelevant" with "has weaknesses". You dont have to graduate from West Point to understand the Koreans had weaknesses.

My point is that North Korea proved they would get rocked if they actually committed to a landwar against a sophisticated foe with an actually modern military. Ukraine kicked their ass.

You wanna talk about Kursk? I might stop bragging about that if I were you, Kursk isn't going so well for russia lol.

I am glad North Korea captured some Leopards and Abrams tanks, that way people in North Korea can walk around them and at least see for themselves how full of shit their culture's propaganda is about having such a powerful military :)
