Maxim Tucker: 作为一名记者,我从乌克兰前线士兵那里了解到,最初部署的朝鲜士兵虽然体格健壮、训练有素且积极性高,但由于缺乏现代战争经验和俄军的有效支援,遭受了重大伤亡。他们对无人机等现代武器的应对不足,导致在战场上损失惨重。尽管如此,他们的顽强意志和意识形态驱动力令人印象深刻,即使在不利条件下也持续战斗。现在,他们正在重新集结和接受再训练,如果他们能够调整战术,学习如何更好地应对现代战争技术,并与俄军更有效地协同作战,他们将成为更加危险的对手。此外,乌克兰士兵也对与俄罗斯达成和平协议表示怀疑,他们认为俄罗斯只是利用停火协议作为重组和继续攻击的机会,因此他们认为无论是否停火,他们都将不得不继续战斗。
Maxim Tucker: 我还了解到,乌克兰军方认为朝鲜士兵比俄罗斯士兵更有动力,他们宁愿牺牲也不愿被俘虏,这使得他们更加难以对付。尽管目前在库尔斯克地区的战斗中,朝鲜士兵的参与度有所下降,但他们的潜在威胁不容忽视。乌克兰方面担心,一旦朝鲜士兵适应了现代战争环境,并结合他们的体能和意志,他们将对乌克兰军队构成更大的挑战。因此,乌克兰正在积极评估局势,并为可能的未来冲突做准备。
