Ukraines Special Operations Forces have published the second part of deciphered notes from the captured notebook of a North Korean soldier killed in Russias Kursk Oblast.
Source press service for Ukraines Special Operations Forces SOF Details According to the latest update from the Special Operations Forces, the North Korean soldier belonged to a special forces unit.
The newly released notes, according to the SOF, reveal that Private Gyeong Hong Jong, prior to his encounter with SOF operators, detailed tactics for downing drones and hiding from Ukrainian artillery.
The SOF soldiers noted that it is currently unclear whether these tactics are authentically North Korean or if they were taught to them by the Russians.
However, the tactics involve using live bait.
The notebook entry is accompanied by authentic illustrations drawn by the North Korean special forces soldier.
Quote from the notebook How to down a drone.
Upon detecting a drone, form a team of three three people.
The person baiting the drone should maintain a distance of seven meters, while those shooting should be positioned 1012 metres away.
If the bait remains standing, the drone will also halt its movement.
At that moment, the shooter downs the drone.
How to avoid artillery fire zones.
If caught in an artillery fire zone, designate a new assembly point for the group, split into small groups and exit the fire zone.
Another way since artillery does not strike the same point twice, one can take cover in the point of the previous hit and then leave the fire zone.
Previously Operators of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to kill North Korean soldiers in Kursk Oblast.
