    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.

        True, but we’ve already seen from Russia what sheer numbers can do, even under-equipped and untrained.

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