I heard a tale once that propeller airplanes were getting past a modern aircraft carriers defences easily, they anti-aircraft defences were built around attacks at twice the speed and couldn't cope with a slow moving plane... maybe something the same here that Ukraine defences are not quite expecting 75 year old technology? However... suspect using up old stuff first

I heard that it was the case with the sinking of the Bismarck in WW2, the Swordfish torpedo bombers were so slow, WW1 speed that the German guns could not find the range

Could be, yeah, but there do seem to be a few Koreans among the dead and POWs so far, and I've not read about any Chinese among them yet but that could definitely change as more of them appear... I'd love to read anything you might have seen on the subject, too 👍

 

I fear you have misunderstood my statement. 

 

NK is fighting for Chinese interests in support of Russia. China has already contributed much war material to Russia but thus far no troops. Instead it has helped NK get up to speed with 10,000 personal .

Russian troop losses ( killed or wounded ) reach 700K by the beginning of November .

Unfortunately casualty figures have never been a big concern for Russian leaders.

They've been scraping the bottom of the barrel for a while now, but it must be a very wide barrel!

I agree, how many losses before the russian people start taking to the streets again to protest. He cannot lock them all up.

About one hour a go it was reported that Ukraine has engaged with North Korean troops . No reports of the outcome as yet .

It might all be over in a few days if Trump wins!
