Catching drones with bait: the second part of the diary from a fallen North Korean fighter has been published.

In the second part of the decrypted notes from the North Korean military notebook of the individual who was liquidated in Kursk, he discusses methods for capturing FPV drones using live bait. It remains unclear whether this tactic was developed by North Korean forces or if they were trained by the Russians. The decryption of these notes was published by the Special Operations Forces.

According to the Special Operations Forces, Private Gyeong Hong Jong detailed tactics for downing UAVs and hiding from Ukrainian artillery in his notebook. The notes indicate that they plan to catch drones by using a live person as bait.

"When detecting a drone, a trio (3 people) should be formed, with the bait holder maintaining a distance of 7 meters, while those firing stay 10-12 meters away. If the bait holder stands still, the drone will also halt its movement. At this moment, the shooter will eliminate (the drone)," wrote this military personnel, adding a rough diagram in the illustration.

He also mentions attempts to avoid artillery fire zones. The notes suggest that movement to the gathering point should occur in small groups. Additionally, he believes it is possible to hide in the area previously shelled.

Jong's Diary

In the first part of the notes, Private Jong wished his comrade a happy birthday. His diary is the first written evidence in Korean that confirms the involvement of North Korean military forces in combat. Notably, the deceased soldier had documents with a Tuvan name, but his personal signature in the military ID was written in Korean.

The Russian command is attempting to conceal the involvement of North Korean troops in the fighting in Kursk by manipulating ethnic data. In particular, citizens of North Korea are often misrepresented as members of other ethnic groups, such as indigenous people from Siberia and the Far East.
