[SCMP] Moscow gets more soldiers without risking another mass mobilisation, Pyongyang receives money and military tech.
Given that North Korea can’t afford to feed them anyway, why not sell to an old friend and only bidder? And if they get killed — it’s not like they’d be permitted to come back home with stories of the unbelievable plenty and comforts available beyond the border.
North Korea is rumoured to be sending tens of thousands more troops to Russia in support of its war in Ukraine, marking a deepening of the two countries’ defence ties and a major escalation of Pyongyang’s involvement in the conflict, if confirmed.
Late on Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that preparations had been under way in Russia’s Voronezh region to receive another 30,000 North Korean troops since last month.
He also claimed Pyongyang was planning to send additional missile launchers to support Moscow’s military campaign.
“This is quite a plausible claim,” said Oh Gyeong-seob, a North Korea-focused political scientist and senior research fellow at the Korea Institute for National Unification. “It would be a win-win deal for both countries.”
steady stream of cheap frontline troops from North Korea offered Russia “a cost-effective way to recruit soldiers”, Oh said, “while Pyongyang receives money and military technology in return”.
An estimated 14,000 North Korean soldiers and thousands of additional military engineers were first sent to Russia’s Kursk region in late 2024 in support of Moscow’s war effort. Pyongyang confirmed the deployment in April last year.
Current estimates suggest the number of North Korean frontline forces remains at similar levels today.
Oh said Russia’s pool of willing recruits had shrunk as the war – launched in February 2022 – ground past four years and five months, making North Korean manpower an increasingly attractive stopgap solution.

"Though 30,000 bayonets would be a massive deployment for most capitals, for Pyongyang and its 1.2-million-strong military, it is minimalist. An estimated 200,000 of those soldiers are considered crack troops.
Those units demonstrated high-casualty tolerance in the 2024 action amid massive, albeit unconfirmed, losses, but earned the respect of Ukrainian troops for their speed, physical fitness and marksmanship.
Their refusal to be taken alive also won alarmed notice. Only two POWs were captured in Kursk. Others, incapacitated, killed themselves with explosives.
Having adapted to a drone-centric battleground, North Korea’s army possesses not just greater numbers but also superior experience to its South Korean counterparts."

"Russia and North Korea are close to completing their first-ever road bridge, a crossing over the Tumen River, that Ukrainian investigators say is designed to serve as a covert military logistics corridor rather than boost trade. Road transport is harder to monitor via satellite than rail, making it easier to move troops, weapons, and military officials discreetly, giving both parties an advantage."

[Regnum] Rostec State Corporation's High Precision Systems holding company has delivered a batch of modernized BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles with electronic warfare systems to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The state corporation's press service reported this on July 27.
The holding company shipped a batch of BMP-3s to the troops. The press service noted that the volume of deliveries had again increased compared to previous months.
The BMP-3s were delivered to the Ministry of Defense as part of a state defense order. The vehicles, manufactured by High-Precision Systems, are in demand by the military due to their high firepower and ease of operation, the state corporation explained.
"Since the start of the special operation, the volume of products shipped by High-Precision Systems has increased annually. Today, it's already three times higher than previous figures. At the same time, the design of the combat vehicles is also changing, taking into account frontline experience. This year, the BMP-3 received a number of important new improvements—improved underbody protection against blast damage, as well as increased armor protection for the rear and front sections," the press service quoted Bekkhan Ozdoyev, Industrial Director of the Armament Cluster at the Rostec State Corporation, as saying.
Furthermore, each vehicle is equipped with additional protection measures that provide hull coverage from all angles, including from above. Special devices and equipment enhance the BMP-3's mobility and the effectiveness of its weapons, and an improved electronic warfare system is installed on all vehicles, the state corporation added.
Previously, the High Precision Systems holding company developed the "Mnogotochie" (Multi-Point) multi-bullet cartridge, designed to engage enemy drones with small arms. Each cartridge splits into three bullets in flight. This improves the accuracy of fire and increases the probability of hitting the target. The developers noted that they recognized that miniature drones have become one of the main threats in modern combat.
