Deciphered notes from a captured notebook of a North Korean soldier killed in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation helped to learn new details about the tactics of the DPRK military. It turned out that they received instructions on how to catch Ukrainian drones "with live bait".
This was reported by the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine .
It is noted that the liquidated private Geng Hong Jong belonged to a special forces unit. In his notebook, he wrote down tactics for shooting down UAVs and hiding from Ukrainian artillery.
The Special Operations Forces shared that the tactics for countering Ukrainian drones consist of using live bait. The soldier even visually depicted how this should be done.
After deciphering the recordings, it turned out that the DPRK military, when detecting a drone, uses three people, one of whom is a live bait and keeps a distance of 7 meters. The other two soldiers shoot at the UAV at a distance of 10 to 12 meters.
The notes say that if the live bait stops moving, the drone will also stop moving. According to the plan, at that moment, other soldiers will be able to destroy the UAV.
In addition, the Special Operations Forces also deciphered records of how the DPRK troops leave the shelling zones of the Ukrainian artillery. Geng Hong Jong wrote in his notebook that in such cases, soldiers need to designate the next assembly point and disperse into small groups, leaving the shelling zone.
In addition, the DPRK troops were told about a second way to leave the artillery shelling zone. To do this, soldiers are advised to take cover at the point of the previous hit, and then leave the shelling zone. This is explained by the fact that the artillery will not shoot at the same point, the Special Operations Forces emphasized.
Recall, operators of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to destroy North Koreans in Kursk region and one of the killed had a captured notebook, the notes from which are now being deciphered. It is also noted that in the notebook, the killed Kyung Hong Jong, who fought against the Ukrainians, congratulates another soldier on his birthday. "I, having left my homeland, being on the territory of Russia, congratulate my best friend and army brother Song Ji Yong on his birthday and wish him health," says the entry, which is dated December 9, 2024.The Special Operations Forces note that this is the case when, instead of a party, there is "a machine gun and a trench on foreign soil, and the candles on the cake have been replaced with Ukrainian 5.56 caliber lead."
The notes of the North Korean soldier are called "The Notes of Private Jong."
"This is the first deciphered entry from the captured notebook. And while the SOF operators continue to destroy enemies in Kursk, the translation of other entries by Private Dzhong continues. To be continued," the Special Operations Forces statement said.
