Situations such as videos and satellite images are captured showing North Korean soldiers being sent to Russia one after the other.
According to the US daily Washington Post (WP) on the 25th (local time), Para Pax, a pro-Russian military Telegram channel, posted images of North Korean soldiers captured at a military facility in the Sergei region Sergeyevka in the Russian Far East we continue to upload videos.
On the 18th, Parafax posted a video showing a group of soldiers in Russian military uniforms, carrying backpacks and holding rifles, walking side by side, saying, “North Korean soldiers at a Russian training ground .”
In the video, filmed behind a lattice fence, a man says in Russian: “Look over there, they’re running. ” When another warns, “We shouldn’t film these people,” he adds, adding, “More are coming here,” he added, “There are millions of people. ”
On the 19th, this channel posted a map showing the air route from Pyongyang to Russia, saying that the Russian Air Force Ilyushin Il-62M is transporting soldiers from Pyongyang to Moscow.
Independent Russian media group ‘Astra’ also posted a video on its Telegram channel on the 22nd showing what appear to be North Korean soldiers standing outside a building. The people in the video are talking in groups or smoking cigarettes. You’ll also hear voices with a North Korean accent saying things like “It’s hard” and “It’s late.”
Astra said the filming location in the video was the 127th Motorized Rifle Division (Unit 44980) in the Sergeevka region of Russia’s Far East.
WP also cited private US satellite imagery company Barracks Technology and reported that the Sergeevka military base has undergone major changes since early September.
Comparing satellite images taken on September 6 and October 7, what appears to be a trench has been dug into the ground in this area and a new structure has been built.
At least 20 additional armored vehicles were seen on the western edge of the base. In the photo taken on October 24, new equipment that did not exist before was also added.
Sean McFate, a mercenary expert, explained to WP that the Sergeyevka base has been closed in the past, but its location and size make it an ideal place to train North Korea’s sudden military surge.
McFate said it’s common for new units to train together before deployment, and in this case, he wanted to help North Korean soldiers understand Russian military combat and communication techniques. “They are turning into a Russian war machine,” he said.
