    They have massive amount of soldiers and are good and making artillery and missiles. It is a big black box however since they haven’t been engaged in a conflict recently so all their troops lack experience.

    Their economy is practically built for conflict so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

      Yeah, I don’t think numbers is everything, lacking experience or leadership can tip the balance against you in a blink

        Yeah, I have a feeling that they will have very low morale because of lack of motivating factors. Desertion might also become a massive problem since this is one of the few ways to get out of the DPRK.

          Few will desert as their families back home will pay the price for that.

      They’ve been deployed to Syria since at least 2019 and assisted Hezbollah in its tunnel networks going back decades.
