The Korean People’s Army Special Operations Forces (SOF) could be deployed to Ukraine. This is reported by the British newspaper The Telegraph.
SOF troops are “one of the most secretive units of their kind in the world,” the publication notes. Western analysts in their reports call SOF “highly trained troops, equipped with the best equipment… for dangerous but important missions.”
“North Korea’s special forces, numbering 200,000, have 12 light infantry brigades, three reconnaissance units, three airborne divisions and three sniper units.” — provides details from an article in The Telegraph, the “Country” publication.
It is noted that the number of Western special forces is several orders of magnitude smaller. The British SAS reportedly has only 500 active soldiers, while the American Delta Force has around 2,000.
However, military experts say North Korean special forces are behind in signal decryption and targeting equipment and lack advanced explosives.
