Three months. That is the period that several experts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) They estimate that the -approximately- 12,000 North Korean fighters on the front will last without damage Ukrainian. This period is what analysts consider that Kim Jong-Un’s soldiers in Oblast, in the Kursk region, will be able to last fighting for Russian interests.
Thus, they consider that “the entirety of “This North Korean contingent in the Kursk Oblast may be killed or injured in approximately 12 weeks.”. To date, Ukrainian President Zelensky has stated that the number of North Korean fighters killed or wounded in battle amounts to around 3,800.
To arrive at the calculation estimated by the ISW, they advise that currently the number of Daily casualties by North Korean troops are around 92, so if they continue at this rate, by mid-April they will disappear completely.
Furthermore, they anticipate that “it is likely that North Korean forces will continue to suffer a higher proportion of wounded than killed in action – as is usual in armed conflicts – and “It is unclear if or when the injured North Korean soldiers will return to combat.”
This situation is even more critical for the pro-Russian forces taking into account that in recent weeks the fighting has intensified and now it appears that Ukrainian troops are dealing increased damage against Russian and North Korean tanks and soldiers.
In fact, ISW claims that the pace at which the Ukrainians are eliminating their adversaries is exhausting Zelensky’s troops, and They are constantly being replaced in Bakhmut.
“Here, the Russians need to take this territory at any cost, and They are pouring all their strength into him, while we are giving everything we have to maintain it,” Sergeant Oleksandr assured the New York Times.
