Part 7/17:
Hung Lee shares his surprise upon witnessing North Korean soldiers in Ukraine during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Despite propaganda portraying an advanced, modern military with sophisticated equipment, the reality was starkly different. The North Korean forces largely rely on outdated technology, using World War II-era transmitters and limited ammunition—only three bullets per year for regular units. The showpiece military parades display impressive hardware, but these are illusions—many equipment pieces are non-operational or purely for show due to a lack of funding and resources.
