South Korean media claimed on Monday that Seoul could send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine after the North dispatched troops to support Russia in the war.

A report said the government and military of South Korea “are reviewing a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel, including intelligence officers [specialized in North Korea] and experts in enemy tactics,” to Ukraine, citing a South Korean intelligence official.

South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North’s military tactics, doctrine, and operations.

    I guarantee NATO has “unofficial” personnel deep in Ukraine. For the Special Forces units, this is the true test to face off against Spetsnaz.

      Not really, there was but they all left after the invasion started. Any training happens in NATO soil now. And i dont think any SFs would want to be caught dead (literally) operating in the front lines.

      it’s unfathomably stupid to think NATO would risk an international war just to beat some Russian ass.

      if NATO wanted in the war, NATO would have won the war 10 months ago.
