They also sent garbage to SK to no repsonse and no purpose.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The garbage was in response to leaflets being sent north by SK. But it was both a non-proportional and just gross response.
The photo the DPRK released showed a fairly small drone with a triangular shape. It doesn’t look sufficiently large to fly all the way from the ROK to Pyongyang, drop some leaflets and return to the south, meaning they should have been able to recover the crashed drone. Also, if it were a civilian group, they usually take credit for the balloons they send and none have said anything about sending a drone to the north. It really seems like something might be going on internally and the DPRK is trying to blame whatever is happening on outside agitation.
This time civilian groups might be laying low as they might have broken the law regarding flying things around the DMZ
There have been reports that North Korean troops are now in Ukraine.
Could this indicate that North Korea is switching to a defensive posture along the Korean DMZ if they are deploying troops to Ukraine?
North Korean troops are in Ukraine to gain valuable experience in modern combat, and bring it back to the DPRK. As well as to serve as technical advisors and in theater support personnel for North Korean systems being deployed by Russia.
They aren't there as a reserve source of cannon fodder, or secondary invasion force. Some have already died, and more will, but they're not there and enough numbers to seriously weaken their domestic security concerns, and that's not their purpose.
Interestingly, I think this indicates the outbreak of real hostilities is slightly less likely. The existence of roads in/around the DMZ would be to the benefit of the party launching an offensive. The fewer roads there are, the harder it becomes to effectively deploy troops south of the line.
Blowing up transportation links is a defender's trick. The attacker seeks to preserve them to aid in further troop movement and supply. Unless the plan is to launch a limited attack and then sit back in a defensive posture. I don't see how a war of attrition benefits the North though, with their much smaller population and economy.
NK is probably doing this because they don't have any big rockets to shoot into the ocean right now. Anything for attention.
Really good thoughts. And pontoon bridges or other temporary structures have their limitations.
With that said, I don't really see S. Korea wanting to invade N. Korea. Short of a radical change in leadership.
Maybe they're sending everything to Ukraine and just want to make sure the South doesn't get any idea
/jk
I unironically think that that’s NK’s logic here, despite the fact that there’s an approximately 0% chance SK would EVER launch an unprovoked invasion of the north.
South Korea doesn't want to invade. The costs of rehabilitating the North Korean people would be crippling.
I'm not even sure if that is a joke. If they've sold a lot to Russia and are paranoid about the south exploiting their relative weakness, removing road links would make sense.
Is this what they meant that North-Korea is entering the war? Will the Axis of Dictatorship go all out?
I know what will stop those drones.... blowing up the roads, of course that's the only way the drones can get to the capital.....
Is North Korea shitting their pants that their military doctrine (I assume based on Russia's) is fucked?
Russia is not following their own military doctrine - or at least not what we know of it (which comes from Soviet doctrine) where Russia (and Ukraine) follow their known doctrine they get better results long term (but short term what they are doing gets faster results but it isn't sustainable)
