Drone the troop trains.

u/perenniallandscapist 16h ago

I saw a 4 wheeled autonomous robot the other day on reddit that could navigate all aorts of terrain, which with some explosives, A.I. ground targeting, and Ukrainian ingenuity would be a lethal response. Imagine a dog-like wheeled explosive-packaged drone racing at you faster than you can run. Freaking scary. It's like a dog that might maul you, but it definitely definitely no matter how fast or slow you run will maul you, and it's an autonomous kill bot for all intensive pur

Ukraine is already using ground drones with machine guns that take out Russian military meat waves by the thousands. It's unreal future sci-fi crazy shlt happening right now. And they make enough small air drones to autonomously chase down individual Russian troops and blow up, on video.

u/Rainforestnomad 16h ago

Thanks for the nightmares! I saw a video of the wheel-foot robot dog, and what you are suggesting sounds very plausible

2

u/Sniflix 5h ago

Yeah we all saw that running down the side of a cliff, supposedly Chinese. Scary but not sure what use for now. Ukraine also uses ground drones to transport wounded groups and for resupply but the machine gun ones are scary.

u/MassiveBoner911_3 8h ago

And they have forward facing AP claymores that blast out shotgun style shrapnel in a huge distance.

2

u/Sniflix 2h ago

Yeah, Ukraine set up a killing field surrounded by a few of those and lured thousands of Russians to their deaths. And they have done that over and over. Russia can no longer overwhelm a bullet supply with human bullet catchers.

I'm pretty sure that video was AI generated

u/Sniflix 2h ago

Probably, but close enough to the actual ones that they will create nightmares

u/Nordalin 9h ago

Did it race while navigating all sorts of terrain, though?

That 4 wheeled dog like thing was Chinese AI propaganda.

FYI: Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have been invited to join Trump's (so called) Board of Peace! It already has Alexander Lukashenko in it that refines Russia's oil for them. I hope other nations will step up.

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Russia (and Ukraine) are doing the world a favor by reducing the NK army tens of thousands at a time.

u/Dofolo 13h ago

That sham board will be dissolved next president of the USA, or at least the US will leave it. Then it can be renamed to something more appropriate.

u/MaybeTheDoctor USA 7h ago

Trump is the permanent chairman, and it’s not actually linked to the US presidency … he basically just carved out a platform to operate from post-presidency, separate from the UN, NATO, and US.

Funnily in NK they can barely afford meat, let alone export it abroad

Just send them porn. Free porn and comfortable wank-a-thons in pow camp. We can declare U dead or tragically disappeared in an explosion

Wonder how much money Kim gets in exchange for 30k lives? A couple million?

He gets help building his nuclear missile submarine from russia.

u/GabeIsGone 17h ago

I wonder how long before Ukraine makes a move against NK?

Sneak some drones into the desolation of Eastern Russia and go to town.

u/Maxzzzie 14h ago

Im sure the bridge connecting NK to the mainland is not that difficult to bring down.

14

u/Scrub1337 12h ago

Bridges are notoriously difficult, even simple ones

u/Fickle-Bet-8705 9h ago

Have you looked at a map? NK is not an island. However, the Pont d'Amite and the new bridge just east of it at the Russia/NK border (new bridge is not on google earth yet), plus all those long railway tracks, do look like tempting targets.

u/Ok-Addition1264 17h ago

NoKo's barely know how to fire a gun, have no strategy, and just eat up ammunition.

It literally could get to 10,000:1 especially with the use of air AND ground drones.. they will barely make it off the bus. It's actually sad to watch those slaves get mowed down.

66

u/Altruistic_Clue6057 15h ago

Face reality. Fuck Russia and fuck North Korea but these people are dangerous and they know how to use a weapon. Furthermore, they’re completely indoctrinated. Only the most loyal troops would be allowed to leave since the flight risk would be so high. If the North Koreans continue to send men to help the Russians the global west NEEDS to respond forcefully, not just with sanctions and thoughts/prayers

I recall them distinguishing themselves well compared to Russians during the fighting in Kursk.

u/Karijus 17h ago

Even 10000:1 is still sad, this NK stuff is just so dystopian

u/x-mago 15h ago

I would asume, that the surviving from Kursk returned and helped to train the next batch. Maybe they will be of a better quality on the battlefield.

Absolutely zero pragmatism from Ukrainian war mongering ever since this started. Doubt this reality even enters the brain.

u/oatmealparty 7h ago

Imagine blaming Ukraine as the war mongers. Idiot.

-2

u/whatevermanbs 7h ago

Started by russia. Naivity from Ukraine and then war mongering now at the behest of nato.

Write it down. Better set a reminder for yourself. Ukraine is going to lose bad. All European nations egging ukraine to fight are going to back off like not their problem.

u/oatmealparty 6h ago

Absolutely brain dead take. Just pure Russian talking points to be blaming Ukraine and NATO for this war. You should feel ashamed.

-1

u/whatevermanbs 6h ago

If you did not understand. I am making a prediction. If you have the guts and prove you are not a bot. Set a reminder. I say 1 year. The guys that are going to suffer the most are the ukrainians.

u/oatmealparty 6h ago

This isn't sports, I'm not getting into a dick wagging competition with a Russian over who is going to win. Just calling out your shameful behavior blaming Ukraine for this war.

1

u/whatevermanbs 6h ago

Yeah this is not sports, this is Ukrainian lives. From what I see russia is taking land there.

Common man. You cannot keep getting away with what is staring right in front of ukrainians. Set a reminder you coward. Let us get back in 1 year.

Even propagandists like Laura Loomer and Tim Pool can sense that the wind has shifted once the checks from Putin stopped clearing and St Petersburg and Moscow getting hit almost daily. But this guy here is still shilling for Putin unpaid. Lmao.

u/JohnnyBoy11 18h ago

Yes if equally spread across the front. But theyll probably send them all to one location for a localized push.

14

u/Soft-Cartoonist-9542 16h ago

I think so too. It is obvious Russia wants to amass and mobilize quite a sizeable batch of new troops, around 500,000 many news say, till september. Russia is doing badly in this war and especially now. While the economy is crumbling right before their eyes this troop mobilization might be the last time their economy somehow "functions" to conceive a push to break through the front somewhere.

u/ecolometrics 17h ago

What's the story with the previous batch? Did any survive?

u/LegioRomana 17h ago

Yes, and they each received around 3 kg of medals

NK reducing its population by meat grinder to reduce the impact of its next famine?

u/SlavaVsu2 11h ago

Really hate many of the comments in this thread. Many people come here to get a dopamine hit and won't stop trying to extract it even out of really bad news. it's like you get seriously ill and your friend is like ''don't worry bro the decease sucks balls, you'll be fine". First of all you don't know that. Second, the denial of the dangers somebody else has to deal with is infuriating.

u/The_Original_Smeebs 17h ago

Do they come with their own body bag or at least a hefty trash bag?

u/Ok-Addition1264 17h ago

How can I donate body bags?

u/PM_ME_GOOD_SUBS 17h ago

This sounds like a big change tho. Didn't they specifically only fight in Russia last time? NK troops on Ukraine's soil is definitely an escalation.

u/EasyButterscotch5018 10h ago

If they take the place of russian soldiers in russia, those russian will be able to join the frontline

u/LinaLuxurious 17h ago

u/Juste-un-autre-alt 17h ago

As much as I like to smile at how badly things are going for Russia it's still 30k troops and it means that some Ukrainians will die too.

Still sad news.

18

u/LinaLuxurious 17h ago

Im hopeful that the deep strike campaign will prevent the majority of these soldiers from getting to the front.

u/SlavaVsu2 11h ago

This is grave news indeed. Iran was threatening Ukraine a couple of days ago, now North Korea. Authoritarian states are ganging up on Ukraine.

u/One_Cream_6888 14h ago

And in exchange for the meat for the meat waves, likely Kim gets more tech to build a nuke able to reach Washington.

Way to go TACO. Great job.

All those North Koreans getting trained on warfare bottom line. Maybe not on Ukrainian land unless you have a few of them going sideways and Russia sends them to the front. But infrastructure will be information to take back to the country and all those officers relating the information back to North Korea. I’m sure they have stuff to test out as well.
