Intelligence: North Korean troops use drones, electronic warfare in war against Ukraine

Andrii Cherniak, a representative of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), said this in an exclusive interview with MBC TV, a leading South Korean television channel, Ukrinform reports, citing the HUR's Facebook page.

"We can clearly see that according to Ukraine's military intelligence, North Korean servicemen operate and use combat drones. And not only drones. Importantly, they have already learned to use electronic intelligence and electronic warfare systems," Cherniak said.

He stressed that at present only three armies in the world have real combat experience in conducting modern, drone-based technological warfare: the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and the army of North Korea.

More details about the involvement of the North Korean contingent in the war against Ukraine on Russia's side, the specifics of the alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang, the use by Russian forces of North Korean KN-23/24 missiles to commit war crimes, as well as the conditions under which captured North Korean soldiers are held in a camp on Ukrainian territory, can be found in a documentary film by South Korea's MBC TV.
