Propaganda leaflets dropped by Ukrainian drones over North Korean positions. "Don't die in vain! Surrender is the way to survive."
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.
you always start by dislodging who will be easiest to dislodge: youthful critical thinkers who |aybe think this is all a sham. i agree that this is imperfect messaging, but i also presume some discussion went into that north koreans have almost zero media literacy for anything outside north korea by design, so you have to start with something that looks familiar to all of them to start getting the more pliable minds across the battle lines and start talking about what could work
I hate that they used AI for this (you can tell by the pixels). It would fuck so much harder if an artist had taken the time, care, and passion to make this message hit home.
One day, the Bikkhus were once again quarrelling. They came to the Buddha with their bullshit and asked "Lord Buddha, these Bikkhus didn't completely agree with us. How can they tolerate such high doses of copium?" The Buddha smiled and answered "Bikkhus, be still and know that everything is cope, and cope is in all things". None of the Bikkhus liked that answer, though, so they started loudly talking shit about Russia in case the Buddha was a paid troll.
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.
They won't. The ones with families will likely rather die than surrender and I'd bet my cat that they only picked North Koreans with families. "Treacherous" North Koreans will have their entire families put in death camps.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Well yes, if the logistics are robust enough, that would be preferable.
Edit but like genuinely the history of democracy and revolutions and whatnot would prolly be good to add for some post-wank reading material to spur on rebellious thought, even for people who don't surrender. inception
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.
Yes. The protocol of "how to surrender" would also be useful to add.
Obviously, one cannot surrender to an FPV drone - it doesn't have enough battery for the pilot to check if one follows through with the promise.
Throwing down all weapons, raising a white cloth and walking towards the opposing side might be a good enough signal for the pilot however - they might go looking for another target before the battery runs out.
For the leaflet to achieve results, it must lay out a good method of how to surrender. And that's a lot easier with Russians since they have a language which Ukrainians understand.
To Russians, one can write "go to frequency X MHz, drop encryption and negotiate surrender" or "go to Telegram channel X to arrange surrender" but no such hope with North Koreans.
I can confirm, it happened a few times in Kursk, I've seen the videos.
However, the drone in question was a reconnaisance drone (those have long flight times). Ideally, you never see a reconnaisance drone - it sees you from beyond visual range well enough.
I believe the situation in Kursk was that Ukrainians deliberately sent a reconnaisance drone to take a close look, and perhaps also dropped a few leaflets. Russians then understood that their coordinates were known, they had no shelter available and a strike might come any second - and made the gestures to indicate surrender.
It also helped that the Russians in question were conscripts - young people undergoing military training. Support for the war is the lowest among this age group.
funny and very stupid propaganda of the Ukrainian regime. If Comrade Kim had sent a million soldiers to help Russia, the liberation of Russian lands in Ukraine from the Nazis would have gone faster.
