Propaganda leaflets dropped by Ukrainian drones over places where North Korean soldiers are hiding or moving in the Kursk region.

As we can see, Ukrainian UAV operators are aiming not only at the heads of DPRK mercenaries, but also at their new phobias - in the form of drones.

At the same time, giving them a choice: to surrender, escape from this horror and get a chance at a new life, or to die ingloriously and inevitably from an FPV drone or cluster munition.

Translation of the inscription: “Don’t die in vain! Surrender is the way to survive.”

    The year is 2038. Korean-Ukrainian food is a hit new global phenomenon, drawing tourism to the region of “Little Korea” in Ukraine where the sounds of accordion music fills the air and you can pose to have a statuette made. The people live in peace since they defected from the Russian invaders en masse.

    I think the should also drop usb sticks with libraries full of basic facts that NK soldiers may have never seen.

    Perhaps occasionally a cheap e-reader as well. Can’t inform them when theyre in NK, but now that they’re there and youre already dropping leaflets, might be useful to try to deprogram them as well.

      I hate this attitude of superiority like they don’t know what the fuck’s going on. They’re living it, bro.

        What the fuck have you’ve been smoking?

        https://www.nknews.org/2020/03/ask-a-north-korean-how-much-do-north-koreans-know-about-the-outside-world/

        North Koreans have very limited knowledge of the outside world. They’re not entirely ignorant of it.

        But remember that less than 100 years ago Europe was manipulated with hateful propaganda to the extent it was.

        Remember that even currently, with access to free interet, there are people who still refuse basic facts like the Earth not being flat.

        And you don’t think North Koreans may have been manipulated into thinking that we aren’t actually “free western democracies”, but evil monsters who rape babies while lying about “respecting human rights”.

        Like it is exceedingly fucking arrogant of you to assume that because “they’re living it bro” that they knows what’s going on. Like saying that if a woman is in a relationship where she gets beaten and raped that they chose to do that and that “they’d know where to get help if they wanted it.”

        What the fuck is wrong in dropping in information about the basic tenets of what we westerners claim to base our values on; valuing human rights in general, freedom, equal rights, democracy?

      libraries full of basic facts porn

      Perhaps occasionally a cheap e-reader 50 gallon drums of hard alcohol.

      If they don’t get seduced into surrendering, they have a higher chance of getting caught with their pants down… Regardless, I see it as a great way to cause confusion and disorder, anyway.

          Yeah, don’t do that. Anyone who has taken LSD and isn’t a complete psychopath could tell you that this is evil shit.

            Totally evil, almost impossible in practice, probably forbidden by the rules of war (which Russia shits on, weaponizing rape for example) but well… WELL deserved.

            Whatever people are in the trenches deserve pity but are complete brainwashed psychopaths.

              Only if they’re notified that they’ve ingested a psychedelic drug, and that they will be ok in ~12 hours.

              People are still people, and dehumanizing them only furthers the goals of authoritarians/fascists.

              Being dosed with a powerful psychedelic, without ones knowledge, is one of the most inhumane things I can imagine that doesn’t involve direct physical contact.

    Sadly, they are not proper merceneries. A mercenary fights for money, but those guys probably know their families will be repressed if they surrender.

    If I was the developer of the propaganda leaflet, I would add one sentence (after double-checking with a competent social engineer):

    • “you get a new identity, at home they will think you died”

    This is a very good example of something that i identify as 100% propaganda but still agree with. Dont die in vain, surrender. Another pointless fucking massacre russia started.

        True, but if your squad dies and there’s no one to account for you, get the fuck out. No one will know you aren’t one of the mangled corpses. Start new, and live.

    Have any North Korean soldiers surrendered or allowed themselves to be taken prisoner? I recall that there was a heavily wounded soldier who was captured but later died of his wounds, but I haven’t heard about any other such incidents.
