I assumed they would not send single men with no parents. Having family back home to brutalize if you deserted would be key.

My dad says quite often I am here thanks to A-1's and Spooky. Best model he ever made (to date) was a Skyraider in Vietnamese colors. Used n Korea.
The Douglas A-1 Skyraider (formerly designated AD before the 1962 unification of Navy and Air Force designations) is an American single-seat attack aircraft in service from 1946 to the early 1980s. According to wiki they did not fare well.

My old man has said the same thing, almost verbatim. He also mentioned that I owed a ton of my existence to some extremely unassuming, but ballsy South Vietnamese Huey pilots.

That’s the type of plane at the end of Flight of the Intruder right?

Is Sandy a nickname of the plane? Or was it the call sign for the pilot?

Either way, underrated Vietnam war flick.

At that range even a high explosive anti-tank round would just pass clean through the armor on both sides of the APC.  Anyone in the direct path of the round was fucked, and spall from the APC armor would hit others, but everyone else probably ran away with a very bad headache.  Until the machine gun fire you see in the video finishes the job, anyway.

Another video showed there were people on top. As you said, the round probably went straight through and those on top were actually protected enough to walk away... who knows for how long

I’m shocked it can lift one. I’m guessing it’s welded plate steel to keep the weight modest?

It's a good question, I'm thinking a normal one weighs at least a couple of hundred pounds.  Generally speaking there is some steel in them for form, reinforcement, and to have any eye-bolt.  Maybe these are lighter which is fine for how they are using them (my understanding is that they are setting these at night on roads they know the Russian's are sending Ladas with ammo at high speed and no lights to avoid drone attack, thus causing high speed wrecks with them).

Oh! Yeah I vaguely recall seeing a video from the Russian perspective describing that implementation. In that case, these could be made from aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fiber plate and welded/epoxied or bolted together and definitely fuck up a Lada. Fun!

❗️A Russian soldier published a video showing North Korean soldiers training at a military range in Russia.
The head of Ukrainian intelligence, Budanov, claims that Russia is preparing 11,000 North Korean soldiers, with at least 2,600 of them set to be deployed to fight in the Kursk region as early as November.
South Korea made a similar statement, estimating that 12,000 North Korean soldiers will take part in the war against Ukraine.

I wonder how that conversation went.

KIM: In my country, hundreds of thousands starve because our policies are crap and we don't produce enough food.

PUTIN: In my country, hundreds of thousands die because I send them to Ukraine to fight war of ego.

KIM: I have idea. I send you some of my people as troops so you can feed them while they fight for you. If they die, it is win for you because your people live, and it is win for me because it is less mouths to feed.

PUTIN: Fewer.

It’s worse - if they are being sent to Kursk to fight, that means Russia is relying on North Korea to liberate Russian territory.

Also means Russia is out of troops elsewhere that they could spare.

[atomheartbevo 89626]

It’s surreal to be trying to ascertain the depth of Putin’s grotesquely irrational, overwhelming hatred of Ukraine. Over the last decade, he:

- unleashed grandiose propaganda of hate and war not seen since the Radio of Thousand Hills

- ruined his lucrative relations with the West

- started a dirty and abominable proxy war in Donbas and shamelessly lied about it for a decade

- caused the deadliest shoot-down incident in human history with the MH-17 flight

- unleashed the largest war of aggression in Europe since WWII

- made his military suffer the most catastrophic losses since WWII (and lose exponentially more than in all Soviet and Russian wars after WWII combined), including close to 3,500 tanks and about 150,000 dead.

- recruited convicts en masse as suicidal cannon fodder and pardoned scores of the most violent murderers, cannibals, and maniacs

- gave the green light to a giant suicidal mercenary army that once almost dethroned him

- brought the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust

- made it to the wanted list as an international war criminal

- made nuclear threats a usual everyday instrument of global politics

- emptied seemingly bottomless Soviet-era weapon stocks -

begged Iran and North Korea for weapons, equipment, and munitions

- continues multiyear full-scale missile and bombing campaigns to strip a 40-million European nation of electricity and heating or at least to kill as many as he can

- made Russia an ultimate Chinese vassal totally dependent on Xi

- sent hundreds of thousands to die for his bruised ego in suicidal frontal assaults

- re-introduced human wave attacks as a usual reality of war in Europe

- erased entire regions and got a war on Russia’s home territory

And that’s all for the sake of erasing a country that’s only guilty of willing to live on, keep its identity, and stay independent -- which is a terrible offense to Putin and his insane lust for absolute power -- as well as his megalomanic perception of himself as a new tsar with a messianic mission.

It could mean both of those things.

BUT....it also means that Russia is making a smart move: use DPRK troops ONLY on Russian soil.  Because if Russia and the DPRK deploy troops into Ukraine, then the DPRK just became a combatant in a European country where it does NOT have permission to be.  That would be a big fucking move.

Why has the Biden-Harris Administration failed to actively brief Congress about the movement of North Korean troops into Russia?

Today, I sent a letter to President Biden demanding that his administration give @HouseIntel answers and that the use of North Korean troops against Ukraine must be a red line for the United States and NATO.
