The DPRK has provided three full-fledged divisions of fighters to the SVO, which will be constantly replenished.

War correspondent Alexander Sladkov stated this in his video blog , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

North Korea has contributed three full-fledged divisions of fighters to the Central Military District, which will be continually replenished. This...

" Will there be mobilization or not? I don't think there will be. We have Koreans arriving, and there's already talk that they're in Donetsk. They're desperate guys. The only thing I'd like for them is to take care of themselves. To accomplish the mission, to achieve our shared victory, we need to take care of ourselves, not rush into the attack as recklessly as they can —like they did last time. That's what they have. I'd like them to be a little more rational in their movements."

They say there will be 50 of them— five divisions under peacetime organization, three divisions under wartime organization. But these will always be three full-fledged divisions. Because, rotation or not, they will be replenished steadily.

Plus, they're bringing in new weapons, testing them, and getting used to new tactics . After all, Kursk was one war, and this is a little different," Sladkov said.

"So, here's the reinforcement we have. There's a bit of a catch with the Ministry of Defense's conscription, specifically , because today our unmanned systems fighters are conscripted for a year, and they can sign a contract for a year and then leave, which isn't always possible (impossible!) for guys who fight in the main units of the Ministry of Defense.

"My opinion is to transfer everyone to a six-month contract and stop saying, 'Oh, they need constant training.' Anyone needs constant training, constant field training between battles—that's normal ," the military correspondent said.
