north korean soilder interview in kursk  "before... we had been told that we wouldnt actually be participating on the front lines. however, we were forced to recklessly join the offensive at the kursk front. but those russian bastards didnt even conduct any reconnaissance before the assault and didnt provide us with proper equipment. so when we launched the attack, the ukrainian army fired (missiles and rockets), and out of our original 40, all my friends, including (rukcheol) and (kyung-hyun), were killed. (persons name) bodies of my fallen comrades. id heard stories from my grandfather about the patriotic war(korean war), but i never thought something like this would happen. in reality, we our comrades were just used as fodder and sacrificed. kursk is truly a nightmare on this earth. the ukrainian soldiers have the latest weapons and seem to have strong morale. meanwhile, the russian army has lost too many soldiers and is deploying soldiers like us for the offensive. i saw piles of russian soldiers corpses and destroyed artillery in the mountains. putin will fail in this war."
