00:00Indeed, that's the same number that I was reading as well, 3,000 claimed by Kiev to
00:04have been killed so far. I mean, do you think given that high casualty number, North Korea
00:10will simply send more? And do they have more soldiers they can readily send?
00:14They have an awful lot of soldiers. They have well over a million and they can spare them
00:18and that has been made clear to Vladimir Putin. What's the learning curve is the big question.
00:25We understand that they've had difficulties in communication, obviously language problems
00:30and also the language of data. And that leads to the conclusion, which is very evident that
00:39they're finding it very difficult to combat drones. The North Koreans are finding it very
00:44difficult to work with drones and against drones in the combat zone, which as you seem
00:52to hint is largely around the Kursk pocket. That's where they were brought in. It wasn't
00:59the prime purpose for them being sent there, but it was rather a desperate measure where

01:14going to plan.
