Ukrainian Special erations Forces publish notes from North Korean sdier on countering drones

According to a Telegram post by the SOF press service, the notebook, belonging to Private Gyeong Hong Jong, outlines instructions for countering Ukrainian drones.

"How to shoot down a drone: When a drone is detected, you need to form a troika (three pele). The person luring the drone should maintain a distance of seven meters, while the shooters position themselves 10-12 meters away. If the lure remains still, the drone will also halt its movement. At that moment, the shooters should engage and bring down the drone," one entry reads.

The press service noted it is unclear whether these tactics reflect genuine North Korean strategies or were taught to them by Russian forces.

The notebook also includes illustrations and further instructions on evading artillery fire zones.

"If you enter a fire zone, designate the next gathering point and disperse into smaller groups to exit the area. Alternatively, since artillery does not fire at the same spot repeatedly, you can take cover at the site of a previous hit before leaving the fire zone," the notes explain.
