    The North Korean troops were apparently told that they were going to Russia for training. Makes sense. If Putin will lie to his own troops, why wouldn't he lie to North Korean troops? The North Koreans only received one week of training in Russia before being sent to the front.

    Ukraine says it captured 2 North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia

    They need to put those two soldiers to the question and resolve the rumor that once exposed to the internet the North Koreans immediately became addicted to pornography. A friend of mine really needs to know the answer to this mystery.

    Explosion Rips Through Russian Black Sea Port in Major Aerial Attack

    A Russian port that hosts Moscow's Black Sea Fleet was hit in a drone attack with video showing the fiery aftermath of the attacks, according to reports.

    Eyewitnesses cited by the Ukrainian outlet United24 Media reported explosions at the port of Novorossiysk in the Krasnodar territory and drones also hit targets in the Russian border regions of Voronezh, Kursk, Tambov, Belgorod, as well as in occupied Crimea.
    ...............................................
    Strikes on the port at Novorossiysk not only highlight Russian air defense vulnerabilities but suggest nowhere is safe.
    ..................................
    At least seven strikes hit port facilities while local sources suggested to the channels that air defense systems in the area seemed not to be working. Online footage showed at least one explosion and a fire with social media users saying that Novorossiysk's port had been hit.

    Here’s a picture of one of the Asiatic Russians who doesn’t speak Russian, Ukrainian, or English.

    more on the strike on the port. not much out there yet on it. interesting that they use AIS data from ships to confirm GPS jamming equipment in area. Could you offset the jam offset with your targeting?

    apparently they had resumed loading kaliber missiles and moved several ships back there recently. i can see that moving it up the target list


    Drones Attacked the Port of Novorossiysk - Militarnyi

    In early November, Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, stated on air during a telethon that the resumption of Kalibr loading capabilities had proved that Russian troops had adapted to the new conditions.

    Earlier, Militarnyi reported that in mid-September 2024, the Russians had installed a GPS jamming complex near the port of Gelendzhik in Novorossiysk.

    Information from the automatic identification system (AIS) used in civilian shipping was used for the analysis. During the analysis of the AIS system, it was noticed that the location of the Russian ships had differed from their actual location.

    Also, Russia has repeatedly withdrawn ships from Novorossiysk, but after a while they returned to the port again.

    In short, yes. For every measure, there is a countermeasure. How much of those capabilities we are willing to share is a different matter, of course.

    So now there's interrogation video of the two Asiatic Russian prisoners who don't speak Russian. Man, you gotta hand it to those wily Ukrainians. They managed to make these guys fluent in the North Korean dialect strictly for propaganda purposes in, like, no time at all. Dumb offer that they make to North Korea, though. Why would North Korea want back soldiers who aren't theirs? This whole sham is going to fall apart once North Korea refuses to accept these Asiatic Russians.

    I’d think this would be an unwilling swap on part of the NK soldiers. Why would they want to go back?

    Go back where, man? They're "Russians," remember? They just want to go back to Russia.

    Seems like have the workers at my suburban Charlotte Wal-Mart don’t speak English.

    It’s enough to trigger Article 5.

    Why would the soldiers want to go back? I'm surprised they haven't figured out that surrender is their best option personally.
