Thread 64171035

Interesting youtube and official DPRK TV documentaries. The youtube is of great interest since it's done by a open Azov booster.

Take aways:
>They learned alot from the first time
>Very well equipped and trained, especially compared to even 'elite' Russian units
>They are completely adapted to drones, ect
>They don't suck, they seem to have real comradery
>Armored units already prepping to deploy
>Absolutely no Russians to be seen, they are independent

That last bit was predicted by /k/, they figured out that their military culture was so alien that they need to just be given objectives so the Russians can get out of their way.

KCTV documentary, in moonspeak obviously but pretty good. Lots of footage of gear and weapons, most actually Nork and not Russian:

The Nork documentary is really interesting in that they don't present themselves as invincible and aren't afraid to show themselves suffering or even wounded, they seem to be being very honest about it.

4:28, they show one of their own guys getting fragged going into a bunker after showing themselves getting droned with losses, i can't think of any clips i've seen from either side that shows themselves getting hit.

Damn, looked soulful

Who needs fancy iPhones anyways, it’s the simple things

Half the Nork documentary is tributes where they show the soldiers right before they killed with still shots of the actual moment of death. Honestly it is the best way to do it, they aren't putting out unrealistic propaganda and it shows VERY high confidence in their morale.

Russia does not deserve these men fighting for them.

6:50, saluting a bunch of corpses and then stripping the dead of ammo.

12:00-13:00: They show Pyongyang lit up with traffic and flat out state that these men died so they could get their current economic boom and that it was worth it. Their propaganda seems weirdly effective when they are being honest.

Highlighting the struggles could be leveraged in a deal with Russia

getting rid of the ip count was a mistake

>>64171126
Is somebody going to tell the Norks that oppa Russia doesn't care about their dead and trying to use that as leverage will get them laughed out of the room?

too much chinese contraband in NK means they arent nearly as effective at stopping information from entering NK as they used to be, so the average citizen has a good grasp of what the outside world looks like
and saying NK ubermensch killed 1000 westerners at the loss of just 1 NK is no longer even remotely plausible as propaganda, everyone knows that would be an insane claim to make when they see north koreans getting gibbed without ever seeing an enemy

so they took a page out of WW1/2 western propaganda and instead focus on the price their men are paying
this happened after the battle of tarawa campaign, where public support for WW2 skyrocketed by showing US troops dying in large number in a single day for a barren rock
instead of breaking morale, it hardened it, since it plays into the sunk cost mentality (not necessarily a fallacy at this stage, because the previous losses do have an impact on the next outcome)
the enemy wasnt nearly as weak as believed, so the public has to double down on the war effort to make victory possible

>>64171126
Absolutely. From 16:00 on they keep showing guys empty combat harnesses with a 'last image' of them, some of them they show a pair of grenades which indicates were guys who were badly wounded who stayed behind as human booby traps.

>>64171136
They know, the documentary all but says so.

>>64171140
Thinking your enemy is weak and that you are invincible gets you killed, they aren't stupid.

>>64171035 (OP)
Impressive. A question about their armor, are they using russian gear or their own? I've only seen nork artillery pieces.
Also where's Norktard? He'd love this shit if he somehow hasn't seen it yet.

17:45: Apparently there is a theater blue/red flag that they use for identification.

>>64171155
Who do you think OPs is and who is providing moment by moment commentary? A trip is not required for this.

Last two minutes: If you understand their insignia you can see a bunch of the 30
+ yo Lts/former NCOs their system makes.

>>64171155
>are they using russian gear or their own?

A lot of gear seems to be their own, Russia doesn't use fiber optic top attack AT-3 variants and they have never used 107mm MLRS nor the tiny mortars, at least not in any meaningful numbers.

14:15: What is that AT-4 looking thing he is using?

>>64171726
RPG-26

>>64171747
Thanks, i was wondering what that was. My Nork obsession sometimes blinds me to obvious answers.

Slightly off topic, but Preston might unironically be one of the best sources on the war if you didn't want to dig through Telegram channels or xitter, at least as for as aggregators go.

>>64171770
He has not said anything i disagree with and i support Azov and Ukraine in general. He seems honest so far. He is worth listening to, especially as he goes out of his way to show the DPRKs troops are the best Russia has to offer.

I'll say it until my dying day, Russia does not deserve to have DPRK troops dying for them. A thousand Russian lives are not worth a single Choson soldiers life

One of the things i have been noticing is how much Russians want the 105th and the 3rd KPA army group.

They aren't going to get it, Russia can't afford to pay them and if they did it would be a massive mistake.

>>64171794
The good thing about him is that, despite his biases, he's got no issue calling a spade a spade, a trait that's honestly pretty common among Ukrainian milbloggers (Unian propaganda pieces discounting) but very rare among western ones. If I recall correctly he was also one of the few people not losing his shit over the Dobropilya "breakthrough".

>>64171794
Why are you so obsessed with these thirdies

>>64171933
why wouldnt he be?
I for one appreciate his insights into a country which I otherwise wouldnt even care to google

>>64171035 (OP)
Such is the life of a shellful nation, Gayrapeans!

>>64171916
I'm not a fan, i haven't watched any of Preston's videos besides this one.

He did give the DPRK side fair play despite being a obviously pro UA (He raises funds for Azov!) propagandist but he is fair. I don't hate him.

He does a very good job in showing that the DPRK troops are better than Russians. i love the DPRK but Russia does not deserve their support.

1000 Russians are not worth a single Choson life.

>they are just a chinese buffer my dude

The DPRKs atomic weapons are all aimed at Beijing, anyone who thinks otherwise is a idiot.
