North Korean troops sent to support Russia are being used as 'human mine detectors' on the frontlines of the invasion of Ukraine.

The soldiers are deployed across a battlefield until they are blown up one after another, according to Lieutenant Colonel 'Leopard' of Ukraine's 33rd 'Big Cats' battalion, who revealed that their lives are worth little to their higher-ups.

'The North Koreans have a "meat grinder" strategy. Where Ukrainians use a mine-clearing vehicle, they just use people,' he told the Times.

'They just walk in single file, three to four metres from each other, if one is blown up, then the medics go behind to pick up the dead, the crowd continues one after another. That's how they pass through minefields.'

Leopard said that the soldiers sent by Kim Jong Un often refuse to be taken alive, preferring to be killed in battle or to simply run as their commanders stand by unfazed.

The US estimates that 12,000 North Korean troops have been sent to fight for Russia - about 4,000 of whom have already been killed on the battlefield, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Drone footage taken last month shows the Russian meatgrinder tactic in action, with two dozen North Korean soldiers seen slowly jogging towards the Ukrainian front line in clusters across an open, snow-covered battlefield as part of 'suicidal charges'.

They didn't try to seek cover, which was 'like a dream for our mortars and machinegunners,' Ukrainian veteran Vitaliy, 35, told the Times.

Yeah but then the mines still need to be defused, with the Korean method detect/defuse is one simple operation, and Little Kimchi has a plethora of surplus meat sacks to sell to Russia.
